So dollar for dollar, are all those colliders worth their value over say extra tenure position for scientists?

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 12 points 1 year ago

The colliders wouldn't exist without people in the tenured position. Tenure is protection from capital interests. It's not just a culture war thing.

I'm asking if the capital interest skew public research towards mega projects.

Yea, that is a problem just by the fact that it creates more pots of funding.
