The Problem With Speculative Science
I see these as features of the discourse where maybe you could say that it also comes from an overly centralized approach to the funding.

And so even though it's uncertain if we'll be able to do it, it has such strong theoretical foundations or something like cryptocurrency where there's kind of an algorithm that you can get. So in more theoretical fields or more theoretically driven fields I think maybe progress can be faster or more robust. But I don't have the solution.
