Raw LLM Responses

As a scientist, I absolutely agree. OP probably doesn't understand what a rat race science is too. It's not even for the money; professors will do some sneaky shit to make sure they get to be the one associated with the idea/paper. Example: Jonas Salk pretended like he didn't patent the polio vaccine because he was a good guy, but in reality he had tried to patent it and wasn't allowed to. Also, his labmates were crying at the announcement press conference because he wouldn't even mention the hard work they did. He had to be THE guy with the vaccine, and that meant not mentioning anyone else. Also, the whole deal about fleeting pleasures is dumb. After a hard day in the lab what I don't want to do is go home and also be a scientist; I want to drink a beer and spend time with my family. I like wine and stupid stupid sitcoms, and I will gladly keep these industries in business. The industries that exist do so because we want them to. I agree that more tax dollars should go towards scientific research and fewer to wasteful spending, but forcing everyone to be a scientist is impractical and unnecessary. At best, most people would not be able to contribute a lot and most positions would be automated away in a few years.
