A Farnsworth-Hirsch fusor is stupidly simple to build. All you need is rich parents, internet access, and at least a 100 IQ. I wanted to make one when I was his age, only reason I couldn’t was my dad said no to dumping $2k+ on essentially a cool glowy toy.

This post is about performative “smart kids” who contribute nothing and constantly seek validation, and how they’re being set up to fail later in life when the realization hits that intelligence is supposed to be a tool for contributing materially to society, not a personality you present for social gratification.

Read their stories and you will find that often their parents had garages to spare for their little one's hobby and convert to a makeshift lab. Also buying power supply instruments and chemicals from specialized sources that may not be available in your town's hardware store and require shipping, whether for their own use or the kid's. Also being at home and being free to monitor the kid so he doesn't deep fry himself while working with the circuitry. The last point alone shows privilege, but their stories brush it off as if it's all normal.

if it's so easy, why didn't you do it
>b-but my dad said no
beta behavior. when your dad says no to you building a fusion reactor, you ignore him. then you would be mr. oswalt; instead you're just anon mad about greater boys.
