"Science" is privately owned now so it’s not an asset to humanity but rather a liability.

Always thought...Sci/Fi was an oxymoron.
Not any more.

Actually privately owned science is good. It's called engineering. Engineers have to deliver or there's no paycheck. It's these grant money neckbeards eating at the trough who have corrupted science.

I guess I was alluding to the fact that some times, what was once Sci/Fi, no longer remains such, becoming "science" due to improved tech/development/research...and it becomes reality.
Thus the contrary terms.

“I loved going over to Ornette’s place and not just for the obvious reasons. He had a pool table in his Midtown Manhattan loft and before anything else could take place you had to oblige him and shoot a few rounds. Coleman was a tricky fellow, always a gentleman but a bit of a hustler too. He’d smile sweetly and nod his head gently as you take your shot. But sooner or later that congenial host façade would give way and at some point, he’d mop the floor with you – one game after the next, acting surprised the whole time, wondering where that “lucky shot” came from.”

In the 1970s, Thomas Pynchon was something of a vagabond: yo-yoing up and down the West Coast, looking like Frank Zappa, smelling like he’d spent a weekend with the Dead, leaving a trail of junk food in his wake. He slept in hammocks, on couches and in the beds of evicted children. After one night in the Oregon house of the writer Mary F. Beal (Amazon One and Angel’s Dance), he issued a rare compliment:
“People put me up in their kids’ rooms all the time, and hers (i.e., Beal’s daughter) is the first bed that doesn’t smell of urine.”

On living with writer Cormac McCarthy:
McCarthy had never shown interest in a steady job, a trait that seems to have annoyed both his ex-wives. “We lived in total poverty,” says the second, Annie DeLisle, now a restaurateur in Florida. For nearly eight years they lived in a dairy barn outside Knoxville. “We were bathing in the lake,” she says with some nostalgia. “Someone would call up and offer him $2,000 to come speak at a university about his books. And he would tell them that everything he had to say was there on the page. So we would eat beans for another week.”
