      “ life is a game, a loosh hacking, soul recycling tool, that is set up in such away to challenge you in such negative and unpleasant ways, that if can’t be real”.

      We do very much live in a dream, within a dream.

      SS: Sabine Hossenfelder, Scientist youtuber shares a “confidential email” saying that academic field is rigged and they just release crap to get the funds coming.

      Most of us didnt trust academic releases that much anyway, now we have one more reason not to. I also just want to add that I am not a big fan of Sabine Hossenfelder, but she knows her area (and only her area, when she expands usually she is clueless, but in this case I believe her, since it confirms what I believed for a longer time now, and she would have no reason to share this if this wasnt something she thoroughly got spooked by.)

      This might be true for her field (I don’t know) but to generalise to all academia is a stretch. Genomic research (for example) shares data which is often reproduced independently. I guess that’s the difference between science you can observe (biology) vs that you can’t (theoretical physics).

      This is why I did not take the PhD, academia, and research career path. I did not want to conform my work to endlessly chase after funding. I felt I’d be selling my soul and be miserable if I did that.

      EDIT to clarify sentence meaning.

      Hossenfelder is at a point in her career where the research she has spent her life doing is being dumped because it is not yielding actionable observations. It definitely sucks, but the reality of it is there is not enough funding to throw at every line of research. She’s like a professor who’s getting fired by the university because she hasn’t had any enrollments in several semesters. Instead of taking it with grace, she’s throwing a tantrum and claiming that it’s because the system is rigged. The reality is, her research just isn’t being fruitful. *Yet.*
