Autistic reasons for choosing your field

[Anonymous No.9576551]

Field: Physics | Reason: want to destroy the universe

>be autist with vulnerability issues
>cannot live life properly after being treated unfairly, unless i get back at that person
>forcibly piss myself off by watching videos of people getting taken advantage of by police/isis
>cannot let that happen to me, so go into physics for no other reason than to make a device to destroy the universe
>could just always wear a bomb vest, and if the police shoots you, you blow up and get even at that person
>realize if I get sniped then the explosion can't reach the sniper, so decide to wear a nuclear bomb at all times
>realize if I get poisoned by someone on the other side of the world, that won't work either
>come to conclusion that to absolutely cover all bases, including aliens assassinating you, a universe destroyer is the only solution

>Studying population genetics and dynamics in hopes of being able to identify these genes along with finding ways to better manage your own communities population

No one deserve to be raised without two loving parents. No one deserves to be born with genetics that put them at a disadvantage. We can have a future where everyone is born with the same potential to be smart, strong, healthy and attractive, where the person you become is based on how you lived your life, not the cards you were given when you played the genetic lottery.

I want to have a company to invest in science, which deals with investors and governments to research science fields, I also want to build some private labs for scientists to work there separating research from universities (some people don't want to lecture classes dear fuck)
and make people do papers which are actually used for something than sitting on a library shelf forever. I also want to de-'elitist-ize' science as anyone with money can just go and invest in science rather than some bullshit billionaire.

[Anonymous No.9578615]

>>9578541
then just start doing military research and get government grants for said research. Privatise and sell technologies to highest bidder, and reinvest as much as you can back into making more, with whatever you have left invest in privatized labs.

> I also want to de-'elitist-ize' science
then open up some charities. The reason those "bullshit billionaires" are so useful is because they get to feel great about themselves when they invest in the future. Ever notice how the rich always have teslas or solar power or other shit like that? Its because they're tryina buy social capital and possibly also save money, they are more than willing to invest in your research if it interests them too, so you should never disregard their value to your goals. You could invest some money into charities and collaborate with public science centres and such-forth to show off your neat technology, inspire interest in younger generations, but never forget the bottom line: money, for better or worse, will drive most anything, so don't do anything you can't balance the budget on...

And senpai, think big picture, theres political, social, economic, moral, and sometimes even religious* concerns, so try to figure out how to get help and support from these groups when you can. I would suggest reading "How to make friends and influence people" as a start.

many governmental institutions have "invested" in science by paying universities to produce studies. if you want useful shit to come out of universities then you got to outsource bigger-scale research when and if you can to universities. For example, my uni right now is doing research into Computer Vision, Bioinformatics, and General Inteligence in our CS departments, you won't be able to get rid of the gender studies department so just start driving more STEM instead. Grease the gears of science with the blood and oil of capitalism.

Curing cancer is nice and all but if you want investors you need to set the bar higher than that, have something: specific, measurable, and interesting; otherwise no one will invest.

It was taking a 4th year laser physics course that gave me a kick up the arse and told me that I was supposed to be reading relevant books through my own volition, instead of skirting along on my intuition and doing mediocre on the coursework, ultimately failing each exam I sat.

Because, having not studied properly during my course, I grew sick of it and decided to look for work instead.
Turns out no one wants someone who half-arsed their degree, so I've spent the past three years unemployed.
Furthermore, jobs in physics seem scarce.
But things are turning around: I've applied for an apprenticeship in computer science and it looks like they'll take me on-board; it may be a step back but it looks promising and would likely lead to proper employment.
