We already don’t. Like 15% of postdocs become professors and its similar for PhD to postdoc. A vast majority of PhDs go to industry or government work.
As to whether you want most PhDs in academia that is a values question of whether a PhD does more for society in academia or elsewhere.
Its a public museum in China so presumably via the government.
Because we fund basically jack shit of scientific investigation that is just for the sake of investigation. A vast majority of funding is purpose driven which puts big blinders on the field. Failure of this type of idea could easily end the career of a new investigator or postdoc.
There’s a lot to rant about the state of modern research but a lack of funding is nearly always the biggest reason for why something seemingly obvious in hindsight wasn’t discovered earlier.
I’ve never seen an application without limits. The NIH set limits in the 90s and then further reduced them in the 00s.
