>>3908687The second Science and Academia became about finding ways to be given grant money: they died.
When Science was about earning personal glory by testing new hypotheses: you had true scientific inquiry (and some forgeries that would be eventually debunked).

Now it's just filled with idiots who want to work for grant money and sell textbooks.
