There is so much shit in the world, there are so many small ass subfields in everything. Doing a PhD means researching one small ass thing. How can you accept that? How can you accept working years just to be an expert in one niche field? It's not significant.

I hear a lot about people wanting to change the world and shit, me included. But how can that even be possible? Not one person can single-handily change the world. There's just too much. I think that's why a lot of people look up to someone like Elon Musk. He supposedly does space, cars, brain, everything.

Am I tripping? How does it feel knowing someone else will always be better than you? That someone will also know more than you?
