Ofc this bro thinks his job is "fundamental". Give me a break. It's about time to cut back on the grift. I mean "string theory" alone has been a waste of endless resources. Fucking CERN. Not to mention the endless, ceaseless service to the MIC. They'll surely be prioritizing violence and death still (aka "national security"). People mindlessly support all this because "science" (aka scientism).

On the other hand spending money on "economic growth" is surely a waste as well. Just accelerating inequality and planetary doom.
Yes, I have a "terminal" degree from a decent school in a related field. As I've said, I'm very unimpressed with the vast majority of "research".
It's the uneducated and the "educated" who worship these grifters. It doesn't require an advanced degree to see through this. An advanced degree might even be an impediment.
