Infrastructure

The bases of how government works in todays time. How the people in office use the Constitution to work for their needs in the world.

President Trump saw the infrastructure of the government different that other Presidents.

Infrastructure of Science

A metascientific framework that examines the material, institutional, and organizational foundations that make scientific knowledge production possible—the often-invisible systems, structures, and resources that scientists depend on but rarely think about. The infrastructure of science includes laboratories and equipment, libraries and databases, funding agencies and grant systems, journals and peer review, professional societies and conferences, universities and research institutes, training programs and career pipelines, communication networks and computing resources. It also includes the less tangible infrastructure: standards and protocols, classification systems, citation practices, reputational economies, and the social structures that enable collaboration and competition. Examining the infrastructure reveals that scientific knowledge doesn't emerge from individual genius alone but from complex systems that channel resources, enable work, and shape what's possible. Changes in infrastructure—a new funding mechanism, a new database, a new communication platform—can transform entire fields by changing what scientists can do.

Example: "Her infrastructure of science study traced how the development of online preprint servers transformed physics—not by changing how scientists thought, but by changing how quickly they could share results and get feedback. The infrastructure shaped the knowledge."

sexual infrastructure

The overall financial, social, commercial, and (sometimes) medical systems that support your pursuit of, and engagement in sexual activities.

Systems include, but are not limited to: ATM machines (for emergency 2:00 AM cash withdrawals), online hotel reservations, all-inclusive resorts, bottle service, taxis, your friend's place (because let's face it: yours is crappy), and your Mom.

Example framework -
Him: Hey sweetie, its been a while since we've insert sex-related activity here.

Her: Yeah, because you're a cheap-ass and we haven't leverage one or many supporting institutions from the sexual infrastructure in a while.

Concrete Example:
Him: Hey sweetie, its been a while since we've had a threesome with your secretary. What gives?

Her: Yeah, because you're a cheap-ass and we haven't taken a crazy Vegas weekend in over 5 years!
