My goodness, quite hilarious and insightful.
Either way I see great detriment to us all due to the Scientific method's late transformation into the Scientific Business Model.
However, I suppose we cannot return to the day when c. pre WWI all science was the hobby of the elite & no one else ever touched it, can we?
Or might I agree with Ben Stein that today its simply in the hands of a different elite ? I know not.
I do not care for the totalitarian spirit inherent in the system today, i.e. close governmental oversight & incentivisation, cover-ups, silencing & institutional retribution, so I suppose a middle ground of some type is necessary, also a strong collegiate culture which is eroded in the US by "poison ivy" the professional guilds & yankee arrogance, in my uneducated opinion.
