My funding has zero to do with monetizati=n. String theory, esoteric mathematics ie topology, algeb=aic geometry, . zero dollar potentials. . Work on the Bra=n , Deception, Music, and the constancy of the Power Laws seem t= be nature secrets . discovering thoses secrets is the drive.

Funding more science is not as important in my view , as funding the r=ght people. There is not a lot of money needed. to turn coffee=and graphite into new ideas

science is politcal but also has t=e potential to be politically incorrect. Mathematics less so.&=bsp; Few people

get upset when you say that all numbers have not been=created equal. :)

Here'= the questions from TNW (they have 13M monthly readers). The more details y=u give the better.

Please try to respond on the next 48 hours.

-Very basic: where does your money come from?

-To what degree does a research project's potential for monetization guide y=ur funding decisions?

-How else can someone push back against an anti-science president besides fu=ding more science?

-Why is science political? Or is it? Set me straight here.
