Longer-term idea, for those who don't believe in the efficient markets hypothesis: hire prostitutes (legal-ish in my country) to seduce promising young mathematicians and theoretical physicists, both to directly lead them to work less hard, and to encourage them to switch into higher-paying professions, so that we end up with basic research being done by less skilled people.
Isn't it pretty irrelevant how skilled the people who do theoretical physics are? It might even reduce the X-risk of grey goo.
