When I was studying physics and astronomy at university, one day I asked my physics professor - the head of the department - why we were not investigating cold fusion. He said that if he even mentioned cold fusion EVER, all of his research funding would be eliminated and he would be so disgraced as to retire, despite his tenure. He said this is because the majority of research money comes from corporate industry such as oil, electric and defense. Universities exist to re-enforce and profit the existing big (BIG) industry profit infrastructure. Much like governments, they are built on lies and the population will largely never allow themselves to awaken to the lies.

That's why perhaps the real research and innovation needs to come from privatization. So, get rich and then fund your own projects. That way, you don't have to give a crap about those big corporate firm and government.
A hahaha. The problem is that a large portion of geniuses are terrible at getting rich on their own. Not all of them, though. Elon Musk is a good example of an exception. We hear about the ones who do it, but there are thousands just grinding away in labs making a salary.
