This is not a Kariko problem. This is a success. The academic process will spit out those with novel science, and among those spit out will be those with economically useful novel science. So in some sense, academia is a trap for those who will, with great diligence, only do non-novel things for the pseudo-success that is being well known there. We can then use them for the plodding progress that is incrementality; while shooting the novel folk into the venture universe to gain great wealth for providing great utility.

With that honey trap in place, the economy will prosper outside and reward the Karikos.
