>>13366455>There's millions of things that you can work towards discovering, but if you're one of 100,000 motherfuckers trying to work on the same thing, then it gets hard. For example, look at me
>>13365166. I'm just trying to argue and ask hard questions. Many people have these questions, but few are willing to stick their neck out and answer them.
Just because I'm willing to even attempt to answer hard questions, I become the authority in these areas because there's nobody else actually trying to tackle them.
>Pic related.I became the "authority" on "why rich people are more physically attractive"? Now when people ask google that question, they get my argument.
Am I correct? Who knows. Regardless, I'm still the authority here just for lack of competition. This may not be "super important", but it's still something where I'm the "top dog my field", even if this is because there are no real competitors.
I'm not a scientist, but I'm willing to make an effort to talk shit, make arguments, and tackle things other people aren't willing to touch. That's where the "importance is", because the more frequent your pursuit is among competitors, the less likely you will be able to win.
If science was willing to do experiments about why rich people are more physically attractive, I'm sure I'd be out of luck, I'm a rhetorician, not a scientist. I have a high school education, but even with this minimal information, the ability to reason, and the ability to argue, I became the authority on a topic. Even if the relevance of my "authority" clearly doesn't compare to Newton, I'm still the top dog in my field.
At the end of the day, it's as much "pushing it to the limit" as it is "throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks". There's lots of things to discover, invent, and reveal to the human race. You just need to be creative.
