I'm questioning my entire reality right now over this stupid little thingThis woman dipped sutures into pH solution and is now an "inventor, scientist, and CEO" and was paraded over years on news outlets and tedex talks. A brilliant young scientist saving lives with her color changing sutures. Because, as she explains, skin is normally acidic, and when there's an infection it becomes more alkaline. The only problem is that's not actually a reliable clinical indicator for infection and you can also tell if there's an infection or not by just looking at it. But that doesn't stop winning all these science fairs and all this gay parading and a wikipedia page saying you're a scientist. and then she goes to college and majors in fucking public health studies. so in 2026 you can be a scientist even if you don't have a BS in a STEM subject. And then she goes on and does a bunch of DEI shit as her actual career.And this is when I realized that the world is retarded + gay. I'm at a loss for words.
>>16913005It's called personal marketing anon. If you want to be famous and all over the Internet you need to learn how to market yourself as a brand.Think about what's interesting about yourself, what can you sell about yourself that would make others interested.
>>16913005I work in it security and you wont make it far if you get triggert by hyped up bullshit. Focus on whats important and right for you
>>16913005Just leave them be. Theres labs filled with these types everywhere and if you have even a whiff of edge to you they sniff it out and try to kick you out or cancel you. In 2026 there are still a minority of labs that prioritize deep technical knowledge and mechanistic reasoning so just go there.
Weinstein was right.We value mediocre excellence over divergent genius.
>>16914300>there are still a minority of labs that prioritize deep technical knowledge and mechanistic reasoning so just go there>retreat to a nerd natural reserve while every institution is occupied by attention parasites and midwit monstersIt's so fucking over
>>16913005>woman>black>overweight>not completely retardedAs if you had any doubt every committee wouldn't roll a red carpet in front of her. I did not even bother submitting my profile to awards after my PhD. They always go to women especially from the 3rd world (so inspiring!) that study some grift like breast cancer (WAAOW) accompanied by a totally true story how her family member died (sad violin) from it which totally inspired her (and not a possibility to escape her hellhole country, nope) (please clap).
>>16914378The reason they jump on you like panthers is because it increases their own standing in the lab social hierarchy if they are calling out some sort of made up sexism/racism based on a perceived microaggression. I went on an NSF REU and there was a black labmate similar to op pic and she said she thought I was racist until I was literally banging another black cohort member. Another time I got kicked out of a lab for sexist microaggressions for not talking to women in the lab when there were literally no women in the lab area it was made up out of thin air and based on vibes. I joined an asshole faculty member where women get filtered like crazy and life has never been better.
>>16914378To add context, you can spot these narcissistic weasels ahead of time fairly well before joining their lab. Check the PI and lab members twitter or bluesky for excessive virtue signaling. Advanced degrees from schools like columbia, berkeley, princeton are a bad sign. Schools like any institute of technology is a good sign. Overall should be a fairly nonissue, even if you get kicked out you can walk across the hall to find a PI that prioritizes output over ass kissing so its not really over or cucked if you take precaution ahead of time
>>16913005NIGGER!
>>16913005The world is full of stupid people. Individually they are manageable; in groups their stupidity becomes more potent and aggressive. Somtimes the battles you win are the ones you don't fight.
>>16914300Just leave them be. Until they take over your lab too. Even Terrance Tao cracked under pressure and was forced to politicize his position as a scientist. Even as it stands should this deliberate destruction of scientific efforts go unaddressed?
>>16917372Terrance Tao is like the most famous living mathematician of course he has to hold status quo safe politics. There's all sorts of nook and cranny labs that don't adhere to this BS they are just a loud minority.
>>16913005Her work is supposed to support medical care lower income countries. I saw her state in an interview, when she was still in high school, that she intended to study social science. We should celebrate high school kids who actually push themselves academically, right?She did a thing in high school and news outlets picked the story. After HS, she promptly removed herself from your coveted STEM space to follow her passion. Has she taken the spotlight from you? Would you like to share your underappreciated work? Why are you so triggered?
>>16913005It's almost as if western academia was taken over completely by leftism a longass while ago
