    ### I was struck by the similarity of a functioning science funding system
    to the information markets described in the article.

    Seemingly, whatever humans successfully organize, such as capitalist
    economy, or modern science, as opposed to mindless coalition warfare, boils
    down to some form of market-like behavior, with large numbers of independent
    decision makers sharing engaged in cooperatively competitive exchange of
    information.
