"If you have a decentralised anarchist society how would science get done."
same as it always had done, the difference would be no corps trying to pay off and suppress research they don't like; Science is supposed to be decentralised, something called peer review & reproduciability independently. In fact without the threat of losing your ability to eat the majority would not be trying to pub just original studies. Also most internat sci orgs work in a more decentral way compared to most orgs.
@codeawayhaley most modern science is actually pretty centralized because it needs to be to even be possible. a lot of it requires infrastructure like satellite launch capability or massive particle accelerators. i say this as someone who is very sympathetic to anarchism, continuing to advance science will require something that looks a lot like a state for the foreseeable future.
@morganastra Those wouldn't require a state like entity, you would just set up a decentral org that members would be made of those requiring access also if some hierarchy is required (which I don't think is the case) it'd be justified thus still complent with anarchism.
@codeawayhaley how would you coordinate the astronomical expenditure of resources and upkeep labor that those things require though?
@morganastra you would co-operate with communes all over the world and computers would help; anarchism allows intercommune co-operation and most would view science as beneficial even space exploration except for anprim and as before hierarchy can exist if it can be justified, computers, tech, and energy won't go away and such endevers do end up producing benefits for humanity therefore very few would oppose to supply resource & labour.
