Humanity is like a plane at some point there is enough lift that unless somethnig traumatic happens the plane is in the air and would still be . The analogy is that people would still get interested in stuff on their own and they'd finance those things even without extorting them.

And it would be a much better distribution of capital and human resources.

This model where we extort people was valid maybe in the 1800s.

Speaking of today's situation NGOs, foundations, endowments are much better than governemnts because they can't use violence, hence they have to convince and only those who they manage to convince end up giving them money.
