Eric Weinstein describes '''The Precariat''' as the class of scientists and thinkers trapped in economic fragility. Once architects of prosperity, they now live at the mercy of grants, bureaucracies, and [[Peer Injunction]]. Their work, a public good, creates wealth that never reaches them. Precarity silences dissent and breeds conformity; courage is unaffordable. Weinstein argues that restoring security and prosperity to scientists would reignite innovation, rebuild national strength, and renew civilization’s creative core. Wealth, he insists, is the antidote to corruption, fear, and decay in science. | Eric Weinstein describes '''The Precariat''' as the class of scientists and thinkers trapped in economic fragility.
