The writing style of this post is pretty fun. Sometimes bringing highly technical science down to "sorting out this extra crap (that you don't care about)" level of accessibility is a good way to give people an overview of a concept they may not otherwise have the time to dig in to.
I found the last line to be the most important one, "it's good to know that even with scientific funding losing priority in the west, the importance of fundamental science is still recognized somewhere in the world."
