Physicist or engineer /sci/? Elon Musk thinks the engineer wins every time.

Engineers are arrogant douche bags, but this is why people like them better:

Engineer: I build shit
General Public: Oooo I like shit

Scientist: I investigate reality
General Public: Can you make me something?
Scientist: I don't know yet
General Public: This is a waste of tax payers money because I don't understand.

There's no reason for a scientist not to learn how to apply their research to "make stuff".

>> No.9682807

>>9682800
So fuck fundamental science and only fund applied science?

If we do not understand a system and how it functions then how can you know what to do with it?

Thank you for being an example of how people do not understand science

From an engineer's perspective:

Engineer: I build this niche item
Public: How does this affect me?
Engineer: It could be in consumer item x in the future
Public: mite b cool

Scientist: I hypothesize about this niche topic.
Public: How does this affect me?
Scientist: I am literally incapable of applying my work to the real world.
Public: That's nice.

No. I'm saying in an instance where it can be applied there's no reason a scientist cannot apply it them selves.

Musk is a hack. His job isn't science or space, his job is to convince everyone capitalism is amazing and flawless despite the fact if it wasn't for government gibs he'd be out of a job.
