Why does keep happening? Why do our best and brightest go into finance out of every field?

Eh, it's better to let the midwits slave away in a lab or something. The real high IQ play is to go into finance and retire at 40.

For the exact same reason stupid people are lazy and half-ass everything they do.

Why bother doing real work? Nothing matters in this world everything is made up. Solving problems and doing work is over-rated, why, of course they'd rather do a dumb menial job where they push numbers around. Solving problems actually takes effort.

And buddy, humans are evolving to hate effort more than anything. So our smartest minds are using all of that intelligence to be as lazy as possible. fucking epic right?

Because the finance sector compensates you for good work and even leaves you with enough free time to not want to kill yourself in your 30s.

As opposed to for instance research where you generally are lucky to even get a job where you work insane hours for shitty pay.

Because it's a miserable job.
Everything about finance jobs is hell except the pay, and being so obsessed with money that it's the only thing in your life that matters in your life is a very midwit move.

This. Why does everyone keep calling the people who want to go into sciences midwits just because they’re not after money? Have you noticed how miserable everyone who solely goes for money is? Going for money because you have no real passions / inclinations you can muster is better than hedonistic splurging, but why not pursue something that gives you a drive?

The dumbest person in my school (some big titty whore who used "Lol" irl interactions) has a master degree in Finance.

In fact, most retards I've ever came across had a degree in Finance. The average IQ of people with Finance degrees must be in the low 90s.

False
Finance is a field for self-aware midwits that know they will never be anything better.
Unless you have rabbi-level connections, you will end up in a middle class wage slave position.

Those who dare dream choose a field where they can innovate and realize the value of their IQ.

you know the answer already. because a capitalist society indirectly tells you how much of a person you are by your money.
if you're smart and ambitious you have two options
1. slave away for little money in the little hopes that you make meaningful contributions to the field
2. be useless but make shitloads of money in finance

The objectively best path for high IQ individuals is to get into finance, make a fuck ton of money, and once you have a comfortable cushion to rely on and investments you move to academia and do research or whatever you want to do without any economical pressure.

Personality matters too, people like that would probably be better at getting grants, not doing the research. As such, when they go into fields like finance, many of them become venture capital, who can help fund start-ups and private labs. Everyone has their place in society.

The fact that a place like Jane Street can offer interns $96/hr makes me believe that people in finance make absurd amounts of money.

You fools. The high iq go into local-state level politics.
You literally do not need any hard skills to do so, no job interviews, no job tests, no internships, no objective measurements of success, no t50 college degree, can never be fired once you're in before your term is up, and since its not at the federal level, no celebrity like media attention.
All you have to do is understand the memes normalfags follow and believe. Once you have this you just parrot normalfag sentiments and ideas whole building a following of them. Then they elect you.
In my city, elected officials make between $150,000-400,000 a year.(not including bonuses and benefits) Think of that on a 4 year term. Just save every penny for ONE TERM and you already have one foot into retirement. Its extremely easy. And once you're elected it doesn't matter anymore. You can do whatever you want as long as you don't break the law they can't get rid of you. PLUS you get to statusmaxx(what finance and software dweebs will never have) and use that for SEX and connections. This is the way

the actual innovators have 160+ iq, and you don’t find many of those in finance
