Comments on: Marburger to Give Lecture on Science of Science Policy http://cstpr.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=5136 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:36:51 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Maurice Garoutte http://cstpr.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=5136&cpage=1#comment-13407 Maurice Garoutte Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:00:22 +0000 http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=5136#comment-13407 Maybe we could solve this with a computer model. A server farm could simulate the resulting laws where many are stored and a few even read. A network of supercomputers could simulate all of the ongoing scientific research that could end up influencing policy. The science of science policy would be the process that filters science through the political process from research supercomputer to law server farm. To simulate the political process we need to find a Commodore 64 with a single user operating system busily running the GetMeRelected program. Hmmm, we may have a bottleneck in the system. The science of science policy is interesting to me, but not where I would start debugging the system. The system needs to be fixed fast before the North Pole evaporates.
