Will generation z ever have their own Howard Hughes, Tesla or Steve Jobs? Even thr smartest STEM students in general z seem to be preoccupied with getting into a prestigious company, not a genuine desire to create or fix a problem.

It's impossible at this point for a single dedicated individual to wade through the complexity of modern inventions at this point, R&amp;D can only come from dedicated teams of specialized workers or AGI at this level of complexity

all me

Its not impossible it just harder nowadays.

>Tesla or Steve Jobs

>actually putting Tesla next to Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs wasn't even an inventor, he was just a businessman.

I have enormous desire to create things and fix problems, but how the fuck am I meant to do that nowadays when there's no fucking industry here anymore, university is a massive pump and dump scam which churns out millions of broke and miserable postdocs, and meanwhile I need to find some way to put some fucking food on the table without having the luxury of resorting to onlyfans or scamming lonely broken hearted virgins on patreon?

Just like the Age of Discovery, the Age of Invention and Innovation is over.

Reason :- Declining IQs

The only way you can work on cutting edge problems today is by being an Engineer in Top tech companies.

>resorting to onlyfans or scamming lonely broken hearted virgins on patreon?

Why not if you're a woman? You could unironically make 10× the amount of money doing that than you ever could as an engineer, retire early, live a life of luxury. Literally all you need it to be a woman.

> The average OnlyFans creator earns around $180 a month

kek, if whoring out was that profitable, all the prostitutes would have been millionaires.

True, but you dont necessarily need to just do onlyfans. There are other sites, like Twitch has basically become a softcore porn streaming site at this point, for instance. Gamergurls can make a whole lot of money without ever even having to take a piece of clothing off.

> Small Twitch streamers may only make a few hundred dollars per month, or not even reach the minimum withdrawal threshold of $100. People just starting out on Twitch usually don’t make anything until they reach Twitch Affiliate status.

Yeah ok bro

scientists aren't inventors. scientists are people who regurgitate the conventional wisdom as a means of steering clear of cancel culture so they can keep their salary. the nature of peer review is to discourage or completely shut down outside the box thinking

What you should really be asking is who is going to be the next industrialist. The drivers of progress are rarely people Newton and more like the "robber barons" of old. Although often wrongly maligned by bitter communists the modern world was made by men like Vanderbilt, James J, Hill, Scranton, Schwab, Rockefeller, Mellon and Ford. You should be hoping for another Musk to come along which is to say someone smart enough to know where to put the smart people to innovate fields that have been stagnated for decades.

>I have enormous desire to create things and fix problems

>proceeds to whine about typical life bullshit

lmao

"Enormous"

You would not have modern engineering without newtons work.

Obsessed
