Why America’s Best Science Dies in Court: The Silent War Between Progress and Process
Culture Clash: Law and Science in America
Why does the US dominate Nobel prizes but struggle to deliver life-changing technologies to the public? The answer isn’t a lack of funding or market demand—it’s a hidden culture clash between science and law. In this deep dive, we unpack Steven Goldberg’s book *Culture Clash: Law and Science in America*, revealing how scientists and lawyers operate on opposing rulebooks: one driven by progress, the other by process. From the Daubert case to the breeder reactor disaster, we expose the ‘regulatory gap’ that kills revolutionary ideas. Discover the shocking double standard where courts overrule doctors for a disability check but refuse to question science funding decisions. And meet the ‘science counselor’—a controversial new player bridging the divide. If you’ve ever wondered why the future keeps getting delayed, this is the video for you.
