I had a couple approaches in mind, but I think I got carried away in the moment when I wrote that comment. A radical overhaul may do more harm then good.

  But you were right in the first comment! At the moment people do things "for living", in those usual bureaucratic institutions that all institutions become sooner or later, there are initiatives at power that work against the initial idea behind that institution. That's why progress in science occurs at best "one funeral at a time", but usually not before a whole generation bites the dust. This plus bureaucracy seem to almost killed larger parts of science by now. We have collusion rings milking the system. We have broad pure esoteric nonsense "science" circles. We have more and more utter garbage and scam. And we have holy churches that will send the inquisition on you if you dare to disagree. I don't know how to fix that. But I guess the initiatives, and especially the cash flows would need some re-engineering. But how concretely, I have no clue. Throwing away everything you have is of course almost never a good idea. But some things need to change. Change in a radical way, I guess.
