This is conservative lobbying spam. The umbrella group producing this document is called the "National Academy of Scholars" (NAS), which publishes articles about "globalists" and is funded by conservative donors (see https://www.nas.org/storage/app/media/New%20Documents/annual...).

Annoyingly, the National Academy of Scholars was named in a way that collides in the namespace with the (actually reputable) National Academy of Sciences (publishers of PNAS).

You may not like who funded the article, but it still makes valid points about the limitations of science research being so heavily connected to the mouse-maze that is college academics.

As opposed to the mouse-maze that is corporate finance?

BTW, private companies have also been doing science for decades. Ever hear of Bell Labs? Xerox PARC? Battelle Labs? SpaceX? Tesla?

What we've learned is what kinds of research is best conducted by what kind of entity - commercial or private. We don't need the fallacy of this false dichotomy.
