Who's complaining. I am making an observation about how universities have gone down the wrong path. Anything I invent (especially on the back of others work), I share - no strings. The main reason is that anything I have designed or thought up has been expanded by others and I get to increase my knowledge by that very process.
As long as the USA (as in the people) choose the current way they have as the "best" way to run their society, then it'll never have "basic income" or even "basic health care".
I live in a country that has the most innovative/inventive people on earth bar none. But we are entrepreneurial morons as a nation and we doubt our own ability and inventiveness. If we actually got past those specific cultural biases that we have, no other country would be able to catch up to us.
There are three nations, which, if they were able to get past their individual biases, would together change the world so fast that your head would be spinning to keep up. Things like a space elevator or flying car or even individual flying machines would be passe.
So when a university does this kind of activity then we can be assured that progress will be slowed to a snails pace.
