Note that he’s running this as a rather young retiree of 60 years, and is limited by the lack of corporate resources exposing him to possible lawsuits.
The news business still works well enough for this excellent article in the New Yorker to tell us of an instance where it stopped working. Right now, we still get a glimpse of what is being destroyed. Soon, the idea of someone having the freedom to devote a year’s work to an unproven method of investigation will be lost to history.
I found that part rather impressive as well that he got one year to do this. I immediately said to myself he must make 50k or more a year and his boss let him do that so how much will this story make them or what is the motive in allowing such freedom. Cool. But I have the opposite feeling about the future. I think the age of robots is coming and we will be swamped with nothing to do. People may start doing what they are passionate about and this seems like something others may get on board.
