No dog in this fight, but

There is no theoretical world where academic research could get paid for at anywhere near the rate of the private sector

A world where we theoretically care more about the academic advancement of humans than the money in our pocket. Money isn't sentient, going wherever it thinks it should go. Humans give it to other humans in exchange for things.

Not saying it's very realistic in our world, but saying it's not even theoretically possible seems pretty silly and defeatist tbh.

What you're describing is no longer a human civilization filled with humans. Free will is a core to what makes people people, and that means people being permitted to clash, disagree, and compete.

It's not defeatist in any way. His weird fantasy world where work and investment aren't rewarded sounds like a miserable hell hole.
