A big problem here is that whenever a funding body of any kind is involved in any kind of franchise, they’re going to want to have a say in the content the franchise they’re funding puts out.
So unless we come across a large self-sustaining, generous and somehow profitable organisation, I fail to see how we could eliminate that funding body influence without eliminating the funding body itself…which isn’t much of a solution at all

museums an research institution should try and refuse to sign contract that gives the donors any right that they can view what institution is producing. Thus this can reduce the number of people knowing things that has been produced.

if you want some one to help with funds you have to give them something. even if its for the science donors still need to have a reason for funding, to have more donors you need to put your word out there.

There is no solution as long as people place greater value on self deception than truth. A civilization that lies to itself is doomed, and rightfully so.
