Stuart doesn't appreciate people who work real jobs in private sector making society run while he plays with fun data in playground academia all day. If those people happen to science in their free time and have less impressive publication records, they are "a few losers".https://twitter.com/StuartJRitchie/status/1092194376829362177 …

Bit different - Darwin was rich enough to support himself and have 100% research freedom, which he chose. The non-minted would obviously rather be fully funded researchers, but ain't good enough.

I'm not convinced - funding councils are politically-correct, just like the rest of academia, hence you would realistically have no chance of getting funded if you wanted to research scientific topics that are frowned upon by the metro-leftist elite.
