Risk taking and the potential return are key pieces of progress.

Most of our research funding apparatus isn't set up with a capitalistic structure. Would that be good or bad for accelerating progress?

These are usually incredibly political questions that aren't always done logically.

See for example Malcolm Gladwell's podcast episode My Little Hundred Million.

This is a lovely idea, but it feels like it's just kicking the can down the road. Who's funding these grants? Where do those monies come from? That's the real problem.

Essentially GoFundMe or Patreon for the science set! This is nearly laughable and unlikely to really happen.

Maybe VC culture can invade science research and screw that up too!
