That perspective makes me terribly sad. Science should be about communication and community. Tell everyone about all of your ideas because their dialogue will make your ideas better.
Moreover, there is room for all of us. We need to remember that the problem isn't that there isn't enough science funding for all the positions. The problem is that we have given all of our money (including all of our science money) to a handful of billionaires. (Apparently so that they can fuck up our politics and our society.)
And before someone says "there's no political will for this", I would point out that political will changes over time. Don't give in to their arguments.
If you're going to fight for something, fight for enough science budget that anyone who wants can do the work that helps the world be better. Don't fight to kick people out of this community just because they are older (or because of their skin color or their gender or any other unrelated-to-the-science-they-are-doing characteristic).
