A Career in Science - The Tough Truth Behind A "Dream Job"

I am only a somewhat science literate , old man now, democratic socialist. It does seems to me that most of the broken hearts here might have benefited from understanding that no careers are immune from the irrationality of the capitalist system. No surprise to me that name brands in science research and science academia and public celebrity scientists like Neil DeGrasse Tyson are warped, corrupt, and phony human beings. I smile when I recall a book titled " The End of Science" by John Horgan . When I read about " God Particle " ( we await the Coming of the Son of God Particle ! ) I am reminded of the French writer Albert Camus and his classic views on " THE ABSURD " : [ “Yet all the knowledge on earth will give me nothing to assure me that this world is mine. You describe it to me and you teach me to classify it. You enumerate its laws and in my thirst for knowledge I admit that they are true. You take apart its mechanism and my hope increases. At the final stage you teach me that this wondrous and multi-colored universe can be reduced to the atom and that the atom itself can be reduced to the electron. All this is good and I wait for you to continue. But you tell me of an invisible planetary system in which electrons gravitate around a nucleus. You explain this world to me with an image. I realize then that you have been reduced to poetry: I shall never know.”] ― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays
