Whats the point of doing science/engineering? Humanity spent 50 years reverse engineering universe, physics, EE, math just to make a microphone and then comes some idiot with IQ 90 that is adored by brainwashed idiots and signs 3 words that are then autotuned on some PC and he earns millions just by singing 3 words while people that engineered all the technology that carried him earned on average $45k a year.

And that's just one example. Why should a monkey that is famous earn more money than someone who is smart? There are people playing videogames for living and earn $2million a year ( and they arent even good at it, 55% winrate at best) while average salary for nanoscientist is $100k???

...

because that's where the money is.

entertainment gets eyeballs. eyeballs = marketing revenue. marketing revenue = sales. sales = money..

more money = higher salary. it's that simple.

The salt is real.

Why is money so important to you, op?

Do what you live and that's it. I do science as a hobby and art as a job, livin the fuckin dream

You need to understand that you make what you "earn".

An artist who sings will get millions to buy his album and go to his concert. They have millions of people who give them money.

Meanwhile "smart" scientists or engineers only make products for a single person, the head of their company or university. So only that company and university pays him.

If you make a "scientific" product (maybe a new piece of tech) and then instead of selling it to your boss you start your own company and start selling it on your own directly to customers then you will make a lot of extra money because now instead of having your one boss paying you for your work, you have potentially thousands of clients paying you for your work.

Scientists and engineers who make it big in business earn much more than artists. Artists are exclusively millionaires, tech entrepreneurs can actually become billionaires (see Papa Gates or Papa Zuckerberg).

That is how the world works but still most people choose to sell their skills to a boss. Why?

Because when you sell your new phone to a customer they will maybe pay you 500 bucks. You need a LOT of customers make a lot of money.

Meanwhile, if you make a phone for your boss (maybe apple) then they will pay you 100k a year, every year. That is much safer. You can be a specialist guy who makes only the operating system and still apple will pay you 100k, but if you decided to go out and sell your operating systems on your own then you would have to also struggle finding enough customers to support your work.

Capitalism is a perfect system that has a lot of possible strategies for success. Playing safe and earning 70k a year by "selling" to your boss is viable, while taking risks and "selling" to many customers is a good idea but also entails extra responsibility.

Agreed

People are tired and scared.

YES

YESSSSSS

WAKE UP PROLE

YOU KNOW WHAT MUST BE DONE

>doing things for the money
>2016

Sure it feels great understanding and having all that knowledge about universe and mathematics, until you see a girl/guy on the street driving Audi R8 and he tells you he works as a freelance webdeveloper charging $10k for wordpress site which is something a 10 years old could make.


Why should he have enough money to even buy that car? He is too dumb for it, its like giving a quantum CPU to a monkey. He doesnt know how brakes,engine,steering, transmission, tires, runtime or any other component of that car work/interact with other components and because of that he can only push that car to 1% of its potential

>still caring about the money
>10 minutes later

Everyone outside of Veeky Forums cares about money.

Maybe 1 out of 10000 people doesn't.

>doing things because populism
>2016

> understanding and having all that knowledge about universe and mathematics
> freelance webdeveloper charging $10k for wordpress site

These two things are not mutually exclusive. Why can't you design websites in your spare time?

> Why should he have enough money to even buy that car?
Because he put in the work for it.

Grownups realize that you are not entitled to anything just because you can pass an IQ test.

If you are truly smart, and want an Audi R8, then figure out a way to earn the money to buy it.

Oh, and for the record, I work as a repo agent in my spare time. I've driven plenty of Audis. Trust me, they are shit cars.

If you want the money and you think it's so easy, why don't you just get famous or develop websites? What's stopping you?

Who said I cant design websites? I DONT WANT to. Its pathetically trivial, even easier than assembling few lego pieces together. I study QED and read math books. Its miserable and disgusting that evolution rewards idiots who then outrich those that push evolution forward. Webdesigner in my example is dumb and his mental frame is so tiny that creating websites is actually hard for them. If he tried to read a book on QED or pure math his brain would shut down permanently.

And yes all cars in general are shit made for famous idiots like webdesigner in my example.
Audis are shit cars that have 15 FPS refresh rate on their display

Because I seek mathematical purity and perfection in all its forms. I'm not dumb enough to suspend my beliefs for some imaginary value, install some CMS made by IQ 90 Pajeet then rip off a design from themeforest and charge $10k stating I've used X Y Z "technologies" while i just included those libs in a single line.

I want equality, if so many humans claim that time = money how come some guy earns $2million playing games while nanoscientist earn $100k on average?

How much are you contributing to other people's life quality with what you're doing? If you do that for them they will pay you money in return. Something you could do for example is design websites. People like nicely designed ones.

If you are seeking mathematical purity for yourself that's great but maybe its not worth much to people.

Anyway I understand that you'd like some more money and I suggest you throw together a couple of websites now and then so you can afford a nice car (but not an Audi)

Or if you like playing games now and then why not stream and make some extra income?

Because life is shit and unfair. Be glad you don't live in times where the revolutional leader decides fuck intelligentia and sends you to a Siberian gulag just for knowing what QED stands for.

If you're doing it for the money you probably won't be very good at it.

He's not doing it for the money he's doing it for mathematical purity. But he really wants an Audi Q7

Do you suffer from brain damage or something? Its like earning money by adding 1 to x for 5 hours a day. Even if someone paid me 10 million $ a day I wouldnt do it because its pathetic and anyone can do it. It also requires no brain usage at all. I wasn't made with 100 billion neurons to place blocks on 2d grid

>Even if someone paid me 10 million $ a day I wouldnt do it because its pathetic and anyone can do it.

>too smart to make easy money
>just smart enough to waste time whining on Veeky Forums

You don't have to, it was just a suggestiong. But then I don't understand the problem. Aren't you quite satisfied with life then? You have the enjoyment of the perfection of mathematics and physics.

What I meant to say is, you can have that and they can have their meaningless jobs but earning money.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND YOU LEFTIST NIGGER

Creativity is different from ingenuity.

Also, being a social retard doesn't help understanding what the public wants in terms of art.
