I was briefly calling myself an independent researcher: somebody who self-funds spec R&D on their own ideas. In theory it’s something like indie-research : academic research :: blogging/self-publishing : traditional publishing. But the idea doesn’t really work.

Too much to unpack here in tweets, but a few thoughts: there's def a difference between focused vs wild explorations, but I don't value doing the latter indefinitely as much as I used to, for a lot of the reasons stated in this post

I will say that whenever I *do* feel the need for totally unbounded exploration, I'd def do that off my own savings, for the reasons you state. (Pre-Ford funding was like that.) But I don't feel the desire to do that indefinitely, as I used to, vs. "cycling" between periods
