I think about the triviality of this stuff all of the time. I just want to get moneymaking out of the way so I can do something significant with my life (biochem and physics research), as I define 'significant'.
- comatose_kid 19y agoDo you need a lot of wealth to do this? Why not start on these goals today?
- rms 19y agoYes, you need a lot of wealth to do serious research on your own topics and not have to do what the grant-granters want.
- rms 19y agoTo whoever modded me down: there are HUGE fixed costs that are required to do truly cutting edge research in biochem. Perhaps in physics you can sit around and figure out quantum gravity by yourself but that affordable path to success seems unlikely.
- altay 19y agoNo way. Didn't someone figure out cold fusion in his kitchen sink? ;)
- aswanson 19y agoTo do it full time, yes. I already have started, but large blocks of time uninterrupted by commutes, work,etc can only help...
