You’ve never done research before have you lol
I've worked with people 1 degree of separation from (an actually shitty) guy that every single American learned about in highschool...
You could have just asked questions and learned a lot, now I'll never see any of your comments and there's 0 chance I explain anything to you.
But ya got a joke in
I’m not sure how that’s relevant lol and that’s extremely vague. Nor was my comment a joke. I can 100% say all the research I did do was out of curiosity and now cynicism or spite as you say. Nor are any of the poorly paid many roommate having PhD students that I know doing it for cynicism as you claim. So I implied that only someone who’s never done research would make such a baseless and ludicrous claim. That’s like all the career researchers have is curiosity and drive for discovery. In sure there are some driven by greed to patent something, or cynicism, or other personal gain but that’s far from the norm.
