Researchers go where the funding, like water, is found.
But does too much drown the roots?
Possibly the breakthrough researchers are a sort of cacti in an intellectual desert.
- hunglee2 4y agocacti in the desert - what a great analogy!
- ngoilapites 4y agoIt does not capture the pain we suffer there!
- hunglee2 4y agolol - I can imagine! But hey, cacti live for ever and can handle external conditions which would wither all other types of plant life, so there's that!
- ngoilapites 4y agoGood points, I love the "living forever". Indeed, it can be seen from the angle of creating a seed (new knowledge) that will live forever. Thanks!
