Maybe humanity can start paying them decent money first?

You're right, we should fix our economic system so that it better incentivizes things we care about rather than stuff like quant research.

But what system should we use that fixes our economic system? This is not so much a defense of capitalism but asking what would be a better replacement. Capitalism in my opinion is the best solution so far that helps drive society forward when society is made up of all types of folks with different opinions and views of the world.
