physics_collab: Multilayer physicist collaborations (2015)

simulated village explosions,
and MH-60 helicopters dropping additional Seals over the water.

We desperately need to figure out how to flip this: how to lift up the creators of wonderful things, instead of rewarding whoever can acquire power over their creations.

This is a problem that’s existed for millennia, not decades, and I’m not convinced we have a clear solution.
