>Wondering about my funding, implying that despite a decade of training to become a scientist, and all the experience after, I’m really just in it for the money and so am willing to push false narratives.

This is one possible interpretation, but there are many other possibilities.

Do they not cover the difference between subjective and objective reality in science and philosophy curriculum these days? Or how about psychology - did heuristics get covered at all in your studies?

> I can’t help you.

Whether you can help yourself seems like a more pressing issue.
