This. I'll give you some pull quotes but read it.
The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.
That’s it. That’s the story. They are naturally not putting it in those words, but instead talking about “gold standard science” and the “reproducibility crisis” and funding “bold inquiry” for “transformational breakthroughs”. This is all bullshit . . .
Arguing with [presidential science advisor] Kratsios (or any of the other Trump officials) about whether there has been a slowdown in scientific discovery or innovation, about the particular funding methods that have been in use, or about which particular areas should receive more or less federal support is a pointless waste of time. That’s what they want people to do, to chase after those bouncing balls of policy and reform, while the real work continues - and that real work is what I stated in the first paragraph.
People who read about these ideas and who actually support these proposals grievously misunderstand how scientific discovery actually works, and they misunderstand the differences between basic and applied research as well. I am not going to try to teach them any of those things today, because that’s not the issue here. . . . These people want money and they want power and they want revenge, and no amount of evidence or reasoned argument is going to slow them down. Save your breath.
I'm working on an essay that tries to explain in a nutshell what science is all about and how you should legitimately come by your beliefs, given that you can't possibly be an expert in everything. Obviously the people who vote for clownish demented psychopaths aren't going to read it, however, so Lowe is right. Sure, make your reasoned arguments, try to educate people who are willing to listen, but this is about politics, about raw power. It isn't a debating society.

What do the cited quotes by Lowe squarely and MOST OBVIOUSLY point to in front of everyone's "awake" nose?
What is the TRUE FINAL implication of all that?
ACTIVE resistance against the criminal establishments around the world will greatly increase the sooner someone TRULY understands that the ruling cabal and their minions (in governments, the UN, the WHO, big corporations, big medicine, big banks, big media, big science, big religions, etc), anywhere around the globe, are PSYCHOPATHS -- the evidence is OVERWHELMINGLY ROBUST:

It means...
First, virtually everyone has to DEprogram themselves from the programing ("official education" or official brainwashing) they've received since they were a child. It starts with seeing that YOU HAVE BEEN PROGRAMED ALL ALONG.
The DEbrainwashing includes recognizing and acknowledging the huge official lie that governments anywhere are serving the public's interests and are benevolent fair entities...
"Growing up means realizing that none of the worst villains are in prison." --- Caitlin Johnstone, Independent Journalist (https://archive.ph/zDqoh)
Second, constantly analyzing and debating current events is a waste of time. Because it's not enough to describe over and over the prison cell (and its guards) --- the ruling pack of psychopaths AND its many loyal minions --- but explain how we got into it and how to get out of it, potentially. Of course, the psychopathic ruling authorities WANT you and everyone to waste your energy and time doing this "clever" analyzing and "figuring out" (and 99% of all "alternative media" is doing this too!) as they had freely told everyone:
“[Reality-based people ] believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That's not the way the world really works anymore. WE'RE AN EMPIRE NOW, AND WHEN WE ACT, WE CREATE OR OWN REALITY. And while you're studying that reality – judiciously, as you will – we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, ALL OF YOU, WILL BE LEFT TO JUST STUDY WHAT WE DO." --- Former Senior Adviser of the US Empire/Regime, in 2002 (https://archive.is/8wG4Y)
Third, how we got into this deep mess is the clue on how we can get out of it (and create justice, freedom and peace for all) --- by learning what TRUE morality is ---99% of people don't know what it is because (1) it's NOT taught in the official indoctrination system, better know as the "education system," and (2) it's NOT the same as religious morality: https://odysee.com/@woeih:e/Mark-Passio-Government-Is-Slavery:a
Because if you don't know what TRUE morality is you will not stop doing, unwittingly or wittingly, evil things...
"The solution is NOT to create something new (eg, new systems of organization, new technologies, etc). The solution is to STOP being complicit with evil. To STOP doing things that are not moral for a reward. To STOP being complicit with anything the control system tells us we must do." --- Mark Passio, Spiritual Teacher
"As financial access, employment, and administration become conditional on algorithmic systems, freedom does not disappear through overt coercion, but through participation that is scored, filtered, and managed." --- Mark Keenan, Dec 2025 [https://www.globalresearch.ca/ai-operating-system-digital-totalitarianism/5909796]
Fourth, commit yourself to ACT on the principles of real morality (see first url at third point)...
This dedication to TAKING ACTION includes fighting and revolting against the criminal global class of ruling psychopaths.
Fifth, spread and teach these principles far and wide...
"Ignorance is the root cause of all Evil. Since only Knowledge eradicates ignorance, it is our duty and moral obligation to educate ourselves, as well as the masses around us." --- Anonymous
I published this because you seem very passionate about your beliefs, but I'm not entirely sure what they are.
