What's the best way to stimulate innovation?

>pull scientists out of their ivory towers and make them figure out how to make something practical
Let's just make them all engineers and in two years we have a colony on the sun!

>anyone valuable to science (i.e. scientists and their kids) are heavily protected for obvious reasons
No.

1. Government funded research.

2. Throwing all free market advocates in gulags.

You are making the market more hostile to innovation, fucking retard.

>must guard everything as a trade secret, cannot share anything with anyone because no way to protect it and earn royalties

>breaks big corporate bodies into smaller ones that literally are too weak to get the big projects going; no SV startup is going to do the work that Boeing is doing; some things require a whole lot of capital and manpower; of course those things are better accomplished by government entities altogether.

Even for a lolbertarian you are especially ignorant of basic economics.

>MUH ECONOMICS
Your pseudoscience has no power here.

>make them figure out how to make something practical

>make

>practical

Scientist =/= engineer
