They key is being motivated and interested in your work. That will make you WANT to tackle it, and feel good when you get results. You can still shitpost while you work, but you should take it as a warning sign if you don't feel motivated to actually do the research you're slated to do.

1. Pick a hot area of research, like global warming or transsexual theory.

2. Go right along with the promoted paradigms.

3. Bathe in those sweet, sweet, research grants.

4. Falsify data if necessary, because no one ever tries to replicate results, and if their results contradict the established paradigms, then they won't be published anyway.

5. Profit.

Realize that actual quality discussion is almost nonexistent on this website. But then again...

Shitposting is pretty fun. I dunno!

Finished my classes, still trying to get dissertation topic approved. Have recently allowed into my conscious awareness that all of academia has become religion. As soon as I realized this I realized my whole life was a lie, all the politics I took for granted as "just obviously right" are all lies! Academia is the most more close minded than religion. I look around me and realize everyone has been brainwashed or else any meritocracy has been so destroyed that only retards can get into grad school anymore. Holy shit I feel alone.
I feel like my thesis advisor is on to me and if I don't present to him a research topic involving racism causing global warming he's not going to approve it, deactivate my access card and report me to the thought police.

In all seriousness, have you ever imagined that you might be wrong? I mean everyone agrees with your sentiment, retards, the uneducated, big business, billionaires on both sides of the political spectrum. You most know that it was once taken for granted by the masses that the sun revolves around the earth, that Jesus is god and that witches exist, etc., etc.

>Pick a hot area of research
This part makes sense.
Suppose you came up with some super efficient matrix convolution technique that blows away everything before it.
Suppose you publish it in a computational mathematics journal. Only really good researchers who follow journals outside of their direct field will ever find and apply it, which could take decades, and you won't benefit much from it in the short term.
Now suppose you instead present your technique in the context of a hot research topic (e.g. signal processing, machine learning, etc.); because your implementation blows away everything before it, your contribution would quickly become known to millions, giving you prestige, lucrative job offers, grant offers, professorships, etc.

>implying transsexual theory isn't a fringe research topic
In all seriousness, have you ever considered that your dogged obsession with redpilling Internet forums on the looming threat of the globalist transsexual global warming white genocide boogeyman is a complete waste of your time?
InfoWars, Breitbart, etc. profit from your continued patronage while you continue to produce nothing of value.

Sex isn't on a spectrum. It's clearly defined to maximize reproductive possibilities.

Now fetishes, THOSE are a spectrum.

You realize that you will never make groundbreaking science research if you take this board seriously and you probably know nothing about science or math and will fail.Maybe start by learning calculus and you'll be .0000001% closer.

Note that I'm assuming OP's discussing academic research. If OP's discussing industrial research, then what you said is true. You've got to do what you've got to do, and the company's the one paying your salary, so they're going to be telling you what to do. Given, however, the likelihood of publishing industrial research (minimal if it's a trade secret), and the reduced chances that it's going to be 'ground-breaking' (as opposed to iterative), I think it's a safe assumption OP meant academic research.

To wit, given how a PhD and academic career is something you most certainly elect to do, why would you ever pick and stay with a field for which you have no passion? You should know within the first year of grad school research whether or not you picked the right field (for you).
