"the current system will destroy science"
I'm uncertain about this. The scientific method can luckily not be destroyed, and I wonder whether the self-destruction of academia is a good or bad thing. It is certainly not painless and will certainly take innocent victims.
If you consider non-equilibrium thermodynamics analogies, the quicker the system destroys itself the better it is, as it more or less _has to_ explode before it reorganises.
In Finland it has started already, as universities are required to get part of their funding from industry, and it's especially hard to accomplish in smaller cities.
