Over the past 30 years, something has changed on the fronts of the fight against pseudoscience. Today I am unaware of secret pseudoscientific research paid for by the state, just as officially paid for obviously pseudoscientific projects are unknown to me. However, society continues to suffer losses from pseudoscience, and very large ones, but it has basically ceased to be secret, and payment for its products has moved from the budgetary sphere to the area of collecting taxes from the population. At the same time, taxes are both voluntary and forced, which is typical for the housing and communal services sector.
