No wonder why theoretical physicists have such poor job satisfaction, they know they are frauds

Imagine spending 6 years in grad school to research something that is not even real.

According to many people here empirical evidence is not and evidence period.
You can find many such concussions on why they think that way in the archives,ive argued so many times ive lost count and quit.
People build their whole lives around it so I guess if its real for them it must be real for us.

Theoretical physics is natural philosophy, not science, and it most obviously has its value.

theoretical physicists use mathematical models which have constant in them determined from observation and experimentation so in a way it *is* empirical science
you just have to get the math right

the math can be right and still be wrong as a model for our universe. That is the case for string theory, the math is very elegant but it has zero empirical evidence it is true.

he obtained three degrees and with that knowledge, he gives out free information on anything related to STEM majors. He seems to be the most informed person on youtube when it comes to the breadth of knowledge on STEM major in terms of their marketability and day to day work life.

Who likes having a career? I seriously doubt many people would go to college and work 40 hour weeks after that if they didnt need the money.

I recall him talking about him getting a psychology degree and then going back and getting a mechanical engineering degree. Now he says that there arent any degrees that are worth it. Which is pretty much true. The knowledge you gain at university is hardly worth the price. The only reason college is worth it is to signal to your future boss.
