My question was how you could direct funds to MIRI, not whether there were stupid House Science Committee members. I’m suggesting that directing funds to MIRI in particular might not be politically feasible.
Why do you think MIRI is worse politically than any other basic research in controversial or plausibly-controversial topics?
I ask because lots of controversial areas receive government funded grants.
