There’s a subtlety there. It isn’t suppose to be about who you are but what you’re about. Stopping caring about whether projects work or not is practically the point. Research isn’t about only tackling things we know will work. That’s effectively engineering and not research. A lot of the funding today is already about status. There just needs to be less funding given out to people based on status and funders’ pet projects and more funding based upon the people and proposals. Solid people and proposals should not be turned down via lack of status or not fitting into some box of “this will work”. A lot of topics are lumped into “that will never work”, but it’s often the case that they were never tried or even explored. |
