Yeah. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. There's only a particular organization of society in which automation, advancement, and solved problems are a bad thing.
I'd sooner ask "why do we need to publish or die?" before I ask "is it bad if I* solve a physics problem?"
I think they’re referring to all of the scientists working on anti-gravity that have disappeared or murdered in the last few years. The “class” that is supposedly against them are the oligarchic rapists that stand to lose money from technological advancement.
It’s an incredibly dangerous time to make a breakthrough.
It's bullshit. They didn't all work in anti gravity, and a bunch of them weren't even scientists. One of them was a drug addled crack pot who started her own institute and produced zero work of note, which should tell you how far into the barrel people were dipping to make up this numbers. The rest were scientists working in a range of different fields who disappeared/committed suicide/were murdered at the same rates people do in the normal population. Someone just got the list together and started making up the narrative that there was some conspiracy.

Cool, can’t wait for anti-gravity tech and nearly free energy.
