Quite a naive (and also stereotypically American) perspective, really. Just ignoring major parts of the economy, like the music, film, book publishing industries etc. They are all based on people doing anything that’s not “legit” according to this guy. Also a smell of a very naive concept of “legit science” lurks behind this. Clearly someone who has no clue about how science works.
How many successful filmmakers, authors and musicians do you know personally? Let’s keep the bar real low: ones that can feed themselves and retire without supplemental income from a spouse that does something more pragmatic?
I was a Physicist before leaving for industry. What would you like to know about how science works and how it is funded?
