Whose "inner wealth"? That of American scientists? I can buy my way to having one-on-one tutoring with lead scientists with the flick of a wrist. I can use my nepotism to land a job in NASA simply through donations and political influence. I can do everything from your wildest dreams and more.

Lol "Figure out the secrets"
I hate to break it to you buddy, but there's no jobs in physics anymore. They haven't done anything new in a while. And nobody's come up with anything conclusive since mathematics. There are no answers or else we wouldn't have been arguing semantics for the past 10,000 years

Lmao fuck off, I majored in physics and undergrad is just the beginning of catching up with existing knowledge. Before a phd you're not finding anything new, and even then you're only exploring a tiny, tiny portion of human scientific understanding.

I hope you're at least doing material sciences and not something actually useless like astrophysics. Even if the astrophysicists find something new, it's not going to become relevant before the singularity.

No shit you ignorant fuck. Seeing people not go to college and live off of talent alone is a reason to make fun of art majors, because they don't need to get a degree. You can't just get a technically demanding position from "skill" you need education. No education is needed to be artistic.

>>7288573

Given the volume of creative work and the finite time humans have to engage it, a critic is useful and necessary: even if its your internal critic or a friend recommending a book.

The function of the critic ought to be directing the public (which is good) to the goods (which are needles in haystacks).
