>If you...made the energy they produce free, the entire monetary system would collapse
you'd need money to replace broken down equipment every so often, for example a solar panel costing $100 and lasting 20 years on average will cost $5 a year

ignoring that

if I wanted a light bulb to use the free energy I'd still need money to buy it, free energy doesn't mean free minerals, free labor, free transport services

ignoring all that

if everything were practically free people would consume more and more until it starts to put a strain on resources again, if not because they are such frivolous spenders then because they want to utilize resources as much as possible for noble goals like colonizing mars and doing so as efficiently as possible so they don't need to chop down the rainforests

for this they will need a mathematical model of the value of different resources, reducing it down to a single metric

$

far from being your enemy, money is actually what you want, a way to do things more efficiently, getting as close as possible in the real world to your unrealizable goal of everything being free

>genius-level intellect
>hard work and dedication
and? I know plenty of people who astound me with their talent and work very hard but never become multi-millionaires. I was once dedicated to chemical engineering believing that graphene was the next big thing, it probably is but I quickly discovered I was wasting my time, even if I were among one of the world's experts it would still be a lottery, as you say very few strike it big. What steps did you take exactly?

When you were starting out what was a day in the life of ihaz like? When did things start to pick up? How? I don't care about survivor bias or "muh secrets", you can phrase it in a way that no one can dox you.

I get the impression you need to "work smart", it is all very well working day and night trying to solve a problem in physics but someone who works smart will take a pace back and say "how much power and wealth do I gain from this". Most activities you can engage in to improves your chances of making it are going to seem useless, I agree, but the way I see it I'd rather learn something or do something that improves my chances 0.2% than 0.1%. To do this you need the right perspective, you need a good system of validation when there is no teacher or expert who can tell you whether you're doing the right thing or not.

what do you have to say about that?

Finance is evil because

It A; Is only used by the man to put you down

and B; It's how the big people on wallstreet keep you down

Anyway come back when you actually have an argument.
