As a scientist how do you reconcile with the that you either
1. end up a lab monkey if you are a sucky/non-ambitious scientist and the first thing that's replaced with synthetic beings
or
2. a genius Mr Equations Big Shot Von ShoppenOppenheimerNeumann Jr III whose ideas Chad corporations and governments steal/imitate/use to kill people?

Is it worth partaking in Chad's Soulless Killer Factory hustle and bustle that is academia instead of pursuing the wondrous mathematical secrets of the universe yourself, say, in a quiet hut somewhere in the forests away from the savage killer beasts that are people?
