The modern American money hierarchy, much like the rigid Roman hierarchy, is anaethema to scientific cullture.

Surely you agree?

I mean, European science prior to the 20th century was entirely reliant on funding by nobility and other wealthy individuals. The current grant-seeking culture isn't great, but it's not all that different from historical scientific culture.
Money isn't the problem with science, it's more the growing bloat of academic bureaucracies and administrations, and (in the US at least) collapsing educational standards.

Personally I dislike the american money hierarchy because it rewards an individual based on their ability to generate profit for a company, and the bargaining power of employer versus employee.
This means that meaningless work that produces a large amount of profit is rewarded greatly. For example, engineering facebook to be 1% more engaging, increases profits by millions or billions of dollars. So people get paid a lot of money to make facebook waste their users time.
Whereas a person who does something useful, but not immediately/obviously profitable gets ripped off. For example, farmers who have to rent land and essentially become wagecucks

I don't really know anything about science. Is science at the point like philosophy or other humanities where basically everything has been thought already and we're at the point of just circle jerking? Have there been any paradigm shifting events in science in the past lets say 30 years? Second question is science at the point where everyone is able to add to it? Are random no name low iq professors adding to science in meaningful way or is it like I said what happens in philosophy and it's just circlejerking and writing useless shit just to get published?

/pol/ gets moved nearly every time this chart is posted. /pol/acks move themselves up to 120+ only for seething redditors to put them in the grey or blue. Thanks to the sheer volume of posters alone the average IQ of /pol/ probably hovers close to 100. I'd argue no board has an average IQ above 115 or below 90.

Taking that IQ tests are bullshit aside, I believe boards ike /sci/ and /lit/ can be two or three deviations above if its only in spatial and verbal respectively. Never taken an IQ test, but I have heard these terms along with memory being a third one, used before.
Then we get to bias of language, as many nationalities are present here, and many of us are ESL. Again though, I have not taken a test as I do not believe in them.

Depends on the field. Mathematicians, if they manage to get to a research position at academia, can legit do whatever the fuck they want and nobody will bat an eye as long as they keep publishing. Industry would never allow this since it relies on profitability. To top it off, some mathematicians are so specialized that they might as well publish straight out of mathgen because nobody understands shit of what they write about anyway. For all we know, Mochizuki might just be bullshiting us.

It depends on the field.
R&D is only done if it is potentially profitable. But what is profitable isn't necessarily what will have a meaningful impact. For example, the insulin cartel isn't doing R&D to reduce the cost of insulin, and I doubt they are doing research to completely cure diabetes.
Look at the phoebus cartel as an example. Instead of continuing to improve lightbulb quality, they opted to increase profit by holding back progress.

Academichads do research which is too expensive for private companies to do, and which potentially could never be reasonably patented or provide a greter profit. i.e, research which does not reasonably provide an advantage to the private company funding it.
Arguably a group of private companies could come together to fund research that would benefit them all, but that would be to increase their profit rather than benefit humanity.
Just like the phoebus cartel, big pharma has no incentive to produce a cure for cancer, because competition will cut the cost down rapidly, undercutting their chemotherapy (and other treatment) profits.

Private R&D is good at only advancing profits. If that means ignoring truly beneficial work, then the work will be ignored. But private R&D is also all about reducing production costs.

Academic research is about doing the work that isn't profitable for individual private companies. But academic research does return an average 20% profit per year, for each 1$ invested
