Despite confirmation bias being a widely recognized cognitive bias, it poses a particular danger to scientific research. In the scientific field, confirmation bias can distort results and lead to incorrect conclusions, which can have serious consequences for humanity as a whole.

This is where DeSci comes in, which can provide tools to address this problem.

DeSci is a concept based on a decentralized model of the scientific community that uses blockchain technology to ensure the security, transparency, and reliability of data.

Scientists can work together on research, and data can be verified and reproduced by other scientists.

Decentralized science can also change existing funding schemes, making scientific activity more accessible and efficient. Currently, the majority of scientific research is funded by governments or large corporations, which often have their own interests. This can result in funding being directed only to those studies that align with these interests, rather than those that may be more important for society as a whole.

With DeSci, open and transparent systems for funding scientific research can be created through the community. This means that scientists can receive funding directly from people interested in their research, which can lead to more objective funding of scientific research.

Thus, DeSci can help disrupt traditional structures of scientific activity and create new ones that are at least a little better!
