Sir or Madam, isn’t the ultimate motivation for the pursuit of scientific knowledge to enlighten humanity with the experience of wisdom? If so, how enlightened has humanity become thanks to your contributions? I ask because your subjective “wonderful feeling” of possible arcanum may be as pointless as, say, a science of coffee tables, to human progress.
I suppose this is the reassurance of being educated in the engineering sciences: the results speak for themselves.
- mrbukkake 5y agoYeah the results speak for themselves alright - mass surveillance, hideous pollution, oceans of pointless junk. Get a grip man

- achillesheels 5y agoYes, I judged correctly behind the paywall, your research pursuit is irrelevant to promoting self-knowledge. Unless you are willing to enlighten me on the dielectric effects of the catalytic reactions you are experimenting with? That would be helpful in understanding a more universal and necessary principle of the Laws of Nature you are seeking to understand.
