A parable from my time in American academia: One day, the Gates Foundation descended on a field related to mine, with enormous bags of money. They wanted to fund /encourage a certain flavour of historical research. The orders had come on high, from Gates himself.

Gates wasn't trying to achieve anything. He just got out of bed one day, scratching his ass, & thought this was a good idea. Then, after his money had caused various disruptions, he forgot all about it & went on to fund some other stupid shit. There was no plan, no point, nothing
