      Fat Tails are actually very important in this domain. Innovation is inherently incremental with the major players actually being hobbyist tier until around the 20th century (military advances being what ended up becoming a big contributor)

      Not sure why you’d think this is incompatible with anything I said.

      No. Just actually tracing the roots of technical development through egyptian/grecian roots, through european monastic empiricsm, and western european hobbyist experimentation

      Its unlikely youre even familiar with the fairly miraculous synchronous development of the transistor and information theory.

      the “hobbyists” you are referring to were aristocrats with a research budget comparable to a small nation

      Certainly the likes of newton were. I agree that the term 'hobbyist' may have the unintended implication of everyman or pauper

      (the peak of newton’s career would go under state-funded pure research, as a university fellow)

      "Pure research" being more akin to UBI than any modern program

      well UBI is pretty much what a math postdoc would be getting, right? seems rather apt the contemporary equiv of collider experiments would be Boyle’s pump

          I think a math postdoc has to justify himself much more than a beneficiary of patronage but yeah Im actually for such individual obsession

          i’m pretty sure newton was more highly vetted than any modern stipendary but yeah, once he was in his research was his own concern afaik
