My problem with politics is that it creates so much fog.

In comparison with effective delivery of scientific process (that requires full transparency) politics (that is obfuscated in secrecy) not that it constantly delivers failures, but is the most primitive and backward way of thinking or making decisions. Basically two bunches of dilettantes mob each other, and than they just paper over their blunders.

Political approach to decision making makes sure that the lowest common denominator wins and guarantees that common resources are wasted.

I think that there science should be protected from politics by some sort of Border wall, like Trump's one ;-). That scientist should be untouchable by politicians.

Practically, I first become aware of it through ufology. There were so many scientist and engineers who studied UFOs, yet almost nobody ever promotes their work. Drumming up hype always carries the day and its no wander that UFO subject is ridiculed.
