Philosophy has generated several theories of probability, your "science" is contributing towards ruin risk with advocacy of GMO's and via Taleb && NESCI I know GMO's are not safe. Your "science" has done little progress without industry following a profit motive, of which science owes it's progress to industry and also much of it's credit.

"Universities are good at claiming credit, and little else."
