Btw, David, I think you'd really like this essay (which I excerpted for you a couple weeks ago): https://thestoryofscience.blogspot.com/?m=0 I would also love to hear your thoughts on it! It talks about invisible colleges and systemic problems with science and many other things.

We do have *some* knowledge of what worked in postmodernity. Skunkworks can work. Xerox PARC was an extraordinarily postmodern institution, and well, hello THE WHOLE TECH INDUSTRY. Why has no one replicated that? Lack of courage? Was PARC just a unique, unrepeatable accident?
-
Or is it that postmodernity is over, and the cultural conditions that made PARC possible no longer exist? Is metamodernity (closely related to meta-rationality) actually a happening thing? Can we imagine meta-rational / metamodern science institutions? (Hint: yes)

As a young scientist I find it disheartening that to be able to keep up with outside incentives I will have to have relatively frequent publication rate. While it is true that you can piece a larger process into smaller steps, the demand quick for publication reduces quality.
