Stable career paths read to me as very surprising to be a condition. The implication is that if we don’t have scientists we can get screwed? But what if science gets done but not by professionals but citizens or hobbyists?
Shift toward a negative freedom of thought to the right to be stupid coul dlead to idiocrazy or that scientists exist but instead of doing science they do politics or a kind of orthodoxy production. European style positive right for universal education could keep the voting populus science literate and keep important science to inform political decision making.
