The key is though what direction does the research take

It takes all directions. To suggest otherwise is random cynicism.

Does the research think outside the box or is this research in the box....

Is that cynicism inside or outside of the box?

Is there ad-hocs because of the politics of money and/or peer pressure , on the theory

You mean "are there". If you want to understand the politics of money in research, then perhaps you should apply for a grant yourself. The first thing you will encounter is a litmus test of whether you have anything to say. How do you think you'd fare? I'd guess: acid.

Thats the question

Actually, no, you only made a statement. Your statement: you hate science. Fine. Try living without it. Unplug yourself from the computers, software and telecom systems that science handed you on a silver platter, crawl back to the Medieval era and maybe you can get a job persecuting folks like Bruno and Galileo. Maybe you were just born in the wrong age. Some folks are born ahead of their time; maybe you were just born way behind yours.
