Doesn't this scare you guys? I'm tempted to just hop on the finance train and get a nice cozy job.

not the point. I'd rather live having money to have fun while living than to spend my life slaving away

When you die your memory and money will quickly fade away. My published work is immortal.

>muh knowledge
>muh scientific progress
>muh utility
Fuck off and be happy and then die.

that's why the only sensible thing is to do your good deeds and get a ticket to heaven
if it does exist, you go to heaven
if it doesnt exist, you become nothing but at least you enriched the lives of others
win win

doing this WHILE experiencing a lot in anything >learning a lot, scientific progress, wife and kids (why not), beeing happy.
the next thing I want to learn is weaponry and be able to defend myself. also become more confident. grow some muscles. parachute jump, discover all my fetishes...

but what if I'm happy doing these thing ? it's pointless in the end; and i'm not talking about entropy; so why not ?
having fun makes time go faster
if i do something boring, time goes slower

As long as human society thrives. Once we're all gone, so are your shitty works. you whore.

Money can be inherited.

Then switch to finance. I would rather work in a field I find interesting than finance. I would probably be OK at it, since my parents are both successful economists, but it is just not that interesting to me.
Not that anyone on sci wants my blog post but,
I was accepted to Cornell last year, and was set on going into physics. All my high school career I was positive that was going to be my dream. Ended up switching to economics and got a nice, well paying job working for a good business. I can now have all the time j want to do the things I've always wanted to do. Thank god, I couldn't sit at a cubicle as a physicist
>people actually want to go to school for 10 for a degree that won't even make them happy

think of knowledge as something humanity shares. your just a vessel transferring it to the next generation. your thinking of it in nu-male millennial terms and internalizing something that is common use. the laws of physics and our knowledge of it wont mysteriously fade when you die.
