|content=If capitalism finds it abhorrent that scientists should participate in the wealth they created for every other wealthy person, then perhaps I was as wrong about the genius of Capitalism as I was about the genius of US Univ. in their defense of '''academic freedom'''. | |||
But I hope not. | |||

|content=Say that again. But louder. Not buried in a thread. | |||
Let's be blunt: Science no longer needs money. It desperately needs FU money. | |||

|content=The genius of American Science in particular has historically come from a highly professional but irreverant belief in the individual iconoclast against the group. That culture, now found only in a few hold outs, is being hunted to extinction inside our radicalized Universities. | |||

|content=In the last year I was forced to give up my hope in our universities being reformed. We have to face facts. | |||
It is far more important that our scientists gain enough wealth to self-fund, withstand law suits, be able to protect and support families, etc, than CEOs have 4th homes. | |||

|content=I have changed my mind. Wealth still works, while universities no lonnger do. Science has provided the technology on which our wealth is based. It is time that science and scientists shift to taking an enormous slice of the wealth and security they have provided to everyone else. | |||

|content=The United States public had a great deal. Scientists had the salary of professional with the freedom of a billionaire to think and express themselves. The US took away the right to IP in exchange. | |||
Without real freedom provided by Tenure, we are forced to switch towards wealth. | |||
