hummmmmm that's what I'm saying

How can spreadsheet man make so much money on scientists and their work like that? I thought you people were supposed to be smart.

a scientist doesnt have time nor experience to run a business.

scientists synthesize the molecule, they're not concerned with the business end of things. Atleast in a professional sense, they could still have moral objections to someone like him. But that's not their job.

You don't have to run a business mate, you guys can just need to start valuing yourselves for example.It boggles my mind why it isn't the standard of the industry for R&D people to require a share of the company or the patent your lab ends up producing upon hiring.

You can always start a company with other scientists and invert the hierarchy as well -- make you the owners while management is just hired personnel.

That means you're using scientists' time in order to manage a business. You know who's better at that? People who studied business their entire college careers. I'd rather pay someone to do that than to handle the business end of things. Let me do my research, you handle the business.

scientists focus on small problems that don't have practical applications

business people turn those small problems into leverageable business assets

But that's what I'm saying here.Why aren't the Shrkeli types the hired ones who make modest upper middle class salaries while the creators make the millions? It's like a manager making more money than his artist.

Because a businessman's sole purpose is to make money. A scientist's isn't

It's not about the money itself ... don't you think it's unfortunate that Shrkeli has 2 million dollars to waste on some hip hop album? I think that money would be put to way better use at the scientist's hands.

Maybe scientists just have a one track mind.

business/finance guys make the most money because they are the ones who determine who gets paid what, so obviously they pay themselves the highest. its bullshit but that's the way it is

Scientists are attempting to better humanity, businessmen only want to profit off of the scientist's work.

He told some girl he was a scientist who develops the drugs himself on his livestream. One night he was fucking around on ChemDraw but all he was doing was putting random functional goups on a ketamine skeleton.

Money is just a means to an end.

Just imagine if people who actually drive the world forward had the money and not bureaucrats/politicians/crony businessmen?

Right, yeah, when the Nazis were overthrown, the reichsmarks and the rich businessmen were earmarked for immediate extraction.

Oh wait, the RM was worthless and the businessmen were shot. It was the scientists and their data that was paper clipped for immediate extraction. It was the scientists who were given immunity and forgiveness for being man killers and human vivisectionists. It was the scientists that had any lasting value to history and society, not currency and status.

Martin is headed to prison. So there's that.
