We should be embarrassed how far into [[The Precariat|precariousness]] we pushed Generation X & Millennials. Our entire economy is now bet on bargain science provided way below market.#Enough |thread= {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1490949894076469249 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=Keep your mouth shut or lose job security. Sometimes @skdh drives me nuts. Usually, it’s in a good way. Can no one with money or power fix this situation? No? Of course not. You want science slaves. How’s that working in virology? Somebody get our scientists wealth & [[Academic Freedom|freedom]]. |quote= {{Tweet |image=skdh-profile.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/skdh/status/1490945304438345728 |name=Sabine Hossenfelder |usernameurl=https://x.com/skdh |username=skdh |content=Of course the vast majority of people who work in the foundations of physics want me to stop pointing out they are working on pseudoscience. Of course I know that this means I will never get a permanent position. |timestamp=7:07 AM · Feb 8, 2022 }} |timestamp=7:25 AM · Feb 8, 2022 }} |timestamp=7:31 AM · Feb 8, 2022 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1495056251004370945 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=There are only so many times I can say it: you’ve asked science to make others wealthy, secure & free as you subjected scientists to a life of '''precariousness''', peer review, groupthink, virtue signaling & bureaucracy.
