I absolutely agree. And for that to happen we need strong education reform in this country that CANNOT be left of to the whims of individual states and their racist and bias policymakers. It's going to be a long hard fight to get it done. But it will be so worth it in the end.

Patents have to essentially be proven to work in order for them to be accepted. From what I understand, “Nobelitis,” refers to the idea that some Nobel prize winners develop scientific ideas after that are “not scientifically sound.” Patents that aren’t “scientifically sound” would most likely not be granted because the principles they would be based on would not bear actual fruit.

So yeah I don’t think Nobelitis is relevant here.

The idea of Nobelitis in general seems like it could be interpreted subjectively in order to discredit alternative ways of thinking. That’s just an opinion though.
