|content=Maybe the wealthy are just super smart &amp; have an escape plan. If so, I haven't heard it. Call it a hunch, but watching the collapse in institutional trust, I don't think this is going to end well for anyone, including the ultra wealthy. It's one planet connected by an atmosphere.

|content=I know of no well resourced individual interested in leading an attempt to save our institutions from current leadership. No one I know is studying why seemingly disjoint institutions (e.g. @splcenter, @ACLU, @nytimes, @UCBerkeley, @MSNBC, @NIH, @sciam, etc.) would act as one.

|content=In short, anyone who could credibly even attempt to save these structures (or even allow us to understand their rapid collective demise by studying the slide without needing to seek funding or approval) is acting as if this isn't interesting or a priority...or they approve of it.

|content=I don't know how to interpret this, but there are a very large number of folks without those levels of resources who have tried and paid dearly. Yet, I am aware of no mega check that has ever been written to allow them to know the freedom of dissent enjoyed by the ultrawealthy.

|content=The entire idea of '''academic freedom''' was to free one class of people from "[[Sinclair’s Prison|Sinclair's Prison]]". How do you make a scientist or an academician immunized from having her or his paycheck depend on whether she/he evidences understanding of an inconvenient truth power wants buried?

|content=We don't have such people anymore. We need to get rid of modern "accountability" and all those other words that give people a gooey feeling they are doing the right thing. We need our truth apparatus immunized from the market as we had it before. Yet no one works on this issue.

|content=I'm not calling for support here. I am pointing out something much more interesting. No one wealthy...as in no one who owns a large private jet and above...finds this something worth doing. *ALL* of our wealthy have given up on our shared institutions. And I found that striking.

Sometimes @skdh drives me nuts. Usually, it’s in a good way. Can no one  with money or power fix this situation? No? Of course not. You want science slaves. How’s that working in virology?

Somebody get our scientists wealth &amp; [[Academic Freedom|freedom]].

'''Academic freedom''' was a lot less expensive when it was guaranteed by institutions. Now it requires FU money from which it’s starved.

|content=Said differently, have we all quietly noticed that “The Science” isn’t science? Like not remotely science.

Let me say what the difference is:

In Science you have '''academic freedom''' to reject advances by politics. In “The Science”, you don’t eat if you don’t follow the narrative.

|content=When the world is in its productive phase, it insulates top minds. It pays them to stay away from short term market incentives.

When the world is in its extractive phase, it subordinates top minds.

And you can read about this in my new book for $29.95!! Plus, if you act now...
