This. This I had to see for myself - the money begging approach, the insecure job of 2 or 3 years and then beg for more. I was disheartened with this also. Having a family and the need to be secure, I took my PhD into industry rather than academia. Unfortunately, I didn’t get paid for that extra achievement and feel like I’ve never fully reached my potential. All because I couldn’t get the proper assurance behind the question of, ‘and then what?’. However, getting a PhD is enjoyable and certainly fulfilling. But be prepared to do something different afterwards.

Couldn’t agree more here. I feel somewhat fortunate to have shifted my perspective in pursuing my physics PhD program as a time to learn, have fun, and then move to industry. It’s rather disheartening watching hardworking people pursue the academic dream, while making all kind of sacrifices (both personal and those related to academic politics), just to aim for a position that may or may not work out.

Find a job in applying your knowledge.

I just finished middle school and wanted to be a physicist, now I'm rethinking my dreams

I am the 422nd person that liked your post.

I gave up physics to become an electrician. ZERO REGRETS. 👍

This has always bothered me when I heard about people with masters degree doing work vastly different from what they worked so hard for and I was left wondering most of the time, how is this happening. This was very illuminating and I'm seething.

@@skippy6086 I need an electrician frequently which is why I became one too. I have never needed a physicist and one reason I opted not to study it in college despite it being fascinating.

No offense, but she did a video on why capitalism is awesome not long ago. Many of us have been saying this for years. This is not news to LOTS of people.

Yep, also sounds very german to me.

A place where I worked, 3 of the software developers had Physics PhDs. Only so many places for them in research really when you think about it.

Somewhere theres a kid that is so glad you are his teacher. Somewhere theres a kid who recalls your teaching and recognizes your efforts. Somewhere theres a community that is glad you are part of it. Add infinitum.

Excellent quote.

At the Time of Franz Kafka There were yet no socialist Euroland countries promoting some bulshit agenda , but it was starting at that time. Global democracy is a scam.

Except that anyone with integrity leaves academia because it is a rotten swamp in which only shrewed and greedy people thrive... The higher up you get in the organization, the less integrity they have. Especially in the highly prestigious institutions. The corruption and self-interest is rife and little to no meaningful science is done anymore, so anyone with integrity leaves. Scientific discovery has almost completed stopped in regards to large discoveries because research there isn't profitable...

There's no good reason to wear a mask and lose your integrity. You can use your actual self, you just need to know your boundaries and have actual confidence.

Any business or undertaking these days is a emotional marathon, and anyone who puts their real self on the starting line will lose the emotionally draining commitment. Kinda the whole reason emotionally dettached people are more successful and why it seems like no one cares in business meetings.

Its a good way to make money.

@@paintspot1509 it's an excellent way to be truthful..

Thank you Sabine! You are a great educator and human being.

I want to push back that it's not token capitualation that results in the glass ceiling for women. And programs that require diversity and representation do not reenforce outdated world views, but I respect feeling frustrated that they are not a comprohensive solution either. I refuse to take away the victories of civil rights champions of the past that forced the hand for those capitulations, even if there is still more work left to do.

Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate that. It makes it all worthwhile. ❤️

Same here. Publishing has so much metagaming, that it's not producing good work. My thesis adviser told me to split my paper up into 3-5 papers, publish them separately and have them all cite each other to inflate my impact numbers. I knew academia was bullshit as soon as that was suggested.

You did the right thing.

The institutions are failing, and in order to save the scientific knowledge to go down with it, we need people teaching straight to the public, and not only the raw science, but all the epistemological nuances around it. You are a brave and inspiring person! Thanks ❤

When the questions you want to find answers to (buy doing science) collide with "will said answers make line go up?" Will your quest to unlock the mysteries of the universe be profitable? Isn't as much "reality" as it is "Capitalism". You, as an individual, might have as much luck changing the laws of physics as you would changing the effects that Capitalism (specifically the profit motive) has on doing science.🤷‍♂️

But what's the alternative that already exists? Universities have huge issues but they still do focus on topics you'd never see a fully commercialized industry indulge. It is an evil but a lesser evil. What else is there?

Best video in the channel, IMO.

Bringing the issues to light is one small step towards the possibility of changing them in the future.

Sawasdi kap. You and Sab have stumbled into the invisible walls of a technological house of cards. Science is supposed to be a process of discovery where we chose the most accurate way to describe observations, but that depends on who “we” are. We are not what you think we are. We are more like the subjects of the virtual world in the Matrix. Controlled with lies and a brilliant characterization of the world, however, it is built essentially on lies. We struggle not against the flesh, but against spiritual principalities in heaven and hell. It’s all about control, this world. God is. Choke di, farang.

@@LA_HA It might not matter. It might be comparative literature. The system is so entrenched. The one university president and his/her pet projects may have only slight impact on what is expected and what gets done.

@@wendyleeconnelly2939 True and that's what I'm saying. The choices given in the type of candidates has a lot to say about what is going on within that institution. This is directly tied to what's happening in the PS/K-12 school system. What's happening there? In short, traditional values and education have been replaced with "progressive" values and disinterest in educating school children due to CRT and leftist ideological organizations that openly brag about how they're not in the education business anymore. They're in the political business now and going forward. This is Taught to students, who then go to college, graduate with this mentality and belief system, and then become college employees and professors. The connection is there for anyone who takes a moment to look. Except there's a problem... Thinking isn't taught. In fact, it's banned

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@LA_HAwrong, for instance CRT is a college course. Next progressive values I guess by that you mean critical thinking skills and a focus on S.T.E.M. It’s funny because traditional values and education immediately brings to mind religious schools where if the science doesn’t fit your 1500 year old horror anthology than the science must be wrong. Also what do you mean by traditional education , the humors, leach therapy, miasma, aroma therapy, chiropractors , or maybe phrenology. I am however sorry that conservatives long ago lost in the market place of ideas I just wish you guys would stop trying to sell people on your SECOND lost cause movement. We are not going to go back in time there is a reason progress is the root word of progressive.

When I was a grad student, I saw how the brilliant, wonderful postdocs were worn down. Not by their bosses or their science, but by the system. And after 4+ years as postdocs, they were still earning less than brand new public school teachers. We love our science but have to make a living, too.

It’s the same for public school teachers - the system burns a human out.

@@casualnerdjason6678 You have the background for understanding physics now you need to take your knowledge to the edgy side of physics that is making great strides in understanding the workings of our reality.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Brave people such as yourself need to be honest about the state of physics and academia in order for it to change.

Nice quote, I did not know this. To be fair, in my experience academic management did care about science, in so far as it relates to their own interests at least. Since the issues in academia (and academic publishing) go beyond each individual institution, however, I suppose it's easy to assign blame elsewhere and perpetuate the system rather than even try to change it. This perpetuation is, incidentally of course, also to the personal benefit of academic management.

Why didn't you become a university prof?

What a coincidence, I'm also an ex-minor

@@garydorfner6695 Not really meaningless. She just isn't a doctor in the common sense.

It is spoken about, but those outside the system .. do not get heard. Listen carefully to what she says. While a bit harsh to say, she *did* know what they were doing was wrong, and she played along with it, until they bit her.

Fenomenal true exposed. Dear Sabine you are so great, worry do not, you have imense quality and you are an exceptional person. The reward will come and one day you will be happy with the output, I am sure you are happy with what you are doing now and be pleased cause it is giving you satisfaction, you do very nice, it is another road in your career. One foot on the back one step ahead. Many people know your works and they follow your career and path and they like you the way you are.

It's not really a dirty little secret. There are lots of ways to observe it, even as an undergrad if you work in someone's lab, some people who will confess especially if you ask the right questions, maybe not in physics departments because physicists have that personality. Sabine came from a family of accountants, they had some idea that money makes the world go round. Although the exact nature of academic research is something you have to experience it to understand. An outsider who doesn't know the field at an expert level won't know how much garbage is produced that serves merely to clog up the intellectual pipeline.

@@ronankelly4471 I don't know if I can blame Sabine though, she is but a human like us, and human need food on the table, especially for their family. I would like to imagine Scientist are just normal people who aren't particularly noble, nor should we expect them to be.

Perfect response-and almost exactly my same story: the idea-or dream-is very different than the reality. I never finished my Ph.D because of this.

Thanks for sharing. What role are you currently working in finance?

How did you made your skills as a physicist applicable to finance? It’s obviously transferable to those that know but employers don’t always fall under that category

@@Ducktility I really just do software development, but in a financial context for back-end calculations.

@@EyanZ1997 Well, in the mid-1990s when I finished, that was not really true. Physicists were desirable for implementing numerical models, especially if they had software skill. Since I worked for two years in software before grad school, and did a lot of modeling in grad school, it was an easy sell.

And you’re a man?!?

So, what do you do?

Only academics use words like "intellectually stuffy" hahaha

Hopefully you didn't get a job as a "Calibration Technician" for a company that does NIST certification of equipment. So many physics majors with BS degrees seem to enter that job market.

I was a PhD student, but I only finished with my masters. This was due to the lack of consistency between classes and the PhD exam. They would put problems on there that even the professors could not solve. They had an extra credit point system to wear a few published papers prior to the exam, you would be given credit towards the exam. There was at least one student who never took the exam and passed because they had enough papers within two years. and this is only because the professor was putting that graduate students name on the papers, even though they just started.

"Science" (Which means "through the knowledge of")...literally means being open to truth, wanting to explore the actual truth and to want to know the truth.

The other one, opposite one (cannot name the term because of the censor), is the desire for money, grants, more grants, desiring to promote a problem rather than a solution to keep a job, propagating biases and being afraid to look in another direction out of fear of being chastised and reprimanded.

You sound like you were a contractor instead of a government employee. Why didn't you hire on with the Federal Government?

She got what she gave out to Kaku and others in his field daring to tell them that they were wasting resources that should go to real fields of study.

This is precisely how The $ystem weeds out scientists w/ character standing on principle vs. those who'll readily sell out (i.e. produce & publish the results The $ystem wants). 😉

The sad part is that "the system" is made up of us, the academic people. We prioritize money, greed, and power, and in turn, make the life of other lower-level people miserable. Then, we blame "the system".

Same with NGO's honestly. A lot of people, social sciences degrees and similar stuff, who are so passionate to work with communities, with underpriviliged people, to try to approach existing issues with new techniques, are absolutely annihilated by the grant-money procedure. Just write billions of pages of bullshit, measure absolute irrelevant stats, write mind-numbing reports, and end up wasting 75% of your energy and time on all of this, and only 25% actually doing what you want to do and are actually applying for funding.

The really important part is that forum cretins will keep parroting "Peer reviews!" when such "trusted" institutions don't even have the minimal digital literacy, and I mean Harvards, too. Total rebuilding of scholarship is inevitable.

Go for a PhD in "The Art of Sustainable Bullshit" and you will be a winner.

And thats why number of patents in Western countries decreased in last years. Chinese mastered it team work long time ago and thrive because of it, while here its all divide and conquer of talented motivated people

@@tatjana7008 What? US issued patents are a historic high. Also the number of patents issued has zero connection with fundamental physics research - the measure is peer reviewed publications.

@@Lavabug first of all, Sabine is not from US, she tells about experience in Germany and Europe. Second, number of confirmed patents is much important then applications, and China leads there. Third, science is interconnected and discoveries in fundamental physics might influence practical applications as well. Thats why I do theoretical computer science, because it can influence every branch of science. About papers and publications, many chairs in my university interconnected with industry, and they often end up in patents.

I also left academia, I really didn't like the way it works.

@@tatjana7008 The US issues more utilities patents than any other country, and many Chinese enterprises seek US patents as well. Practical applications have little to do with fundamental science, they are an accident. If you're using patent number to measure scientific progress, you have no knowledge of how science works or what counts as innovation. Patents only measure commercial products, not the generation of knowledge which far outpaces what patents indicate (I am a former patent examiner).

That conclusion is no true. YT's terms and the algorithms decide what you can and can't say and or write on this platform.

We will in fact, never know if Sabine can actually choose what she can say on KZfaq until the point she get’s regularly de-monetised or de-platformed. Rumble is where she’d be if in fact she did want to comment in a non-KZfaq compliant way. Sabine is simply just operating in a field that is less socio-politically contentious. She’s far too intelligent to imagine her sitting in Plato’s cage with her back to the light, which makes that final statement very puzzling. Rather than underscoring her position, it undermines the viewer’s confidence that she truly understands the assaults on freedom of thought and expression and journalistic investigation that so very very many are experiencing right now.

@@07Flash11MRC - edit that comment, to make it say what you intended... ??

On the other hand if you get a phd as an engineer in STEM or something similary hard (the real rat race), I would maybe even kill myself.

For me as an interested layperson and follower of SH that´s really interesting to hear, thanks. I assumed that just she would be muzzled in the established physics community.

@@Thomas-gk42 people are not "muzzled"... the problem to get academic position you are basically judged if you bring in money, either via notoriety (so students because you got some prize or somethign) or via grants. As young scientist, you are generally handicapped for both. Academic position, unless you are tenure track somehow (rare like unicorns), has very little job security and that job security is tied to how much money *you* bring in. If you can consistently bring in multiples of money than they pay you, you may be offered a tenure position. Heck, you can say almost whatever you want as long as money keeps flowing to the "institution".

Outside of academic textbooks, the average academic publication gets less than 10,000 readers - so yes, she has far more viewers and listeners here than she ever would have.

@@hardopinions Thank you for your explanation. Tough I´m self-employed craftsman, I was always fascinated by astrophysics and QM. Since I read Hawking´s "Brief History of Time" and Weinberg´s "The First three Minutes" a long time is gone. Sometime, I intuitively "felt", that something´s going wrong in the foundation of physics and lost most of my interest. All these highly sepuculative fantasies about multiverses, susy-particles, axions, extra dimensions..., kinda infaltion of infaltion theories. Then two years ago I stumbled randomly over Dr. Hossenfelder´s book "Lost in Math" in which she explains and reasons very accurately what I, with my lack in math knowledge, just could "feel". Since then I follow her work and couraged engagement. Tough I love to pay my tax for new insights in the understanding of nature and our existance, I think, if people like me loose their interest in science, the anti-science crowd will increase, and then hard times will begin for science. For me it´s a shame, that in so many years, no one did fund the interesting table experiments about the measurement process in QM, that SH suggests since many years now. Wish you all the best.

@@hardopinions Thank you for the reply.Tough I´m self-employed craftsman, I was always fascinated by astrophysics and QM. Since I read Hawking´s "Brief History of Time" and Weinberg´s "The First three Minutes" a long time passed. Sometime over the years, I intuitively "felt", that something´s going wrong in the foundation of physics, and I lost most of my interest. All these highly speculative fantasies of multiverses, susy-particles, axions, roled extra dimensions..., kinda infaltion of inflation theories. Then two years ago I randomly stumbled over Dr. Hossenfelder´s book "Lost in Math" in which she explains very accurately what I, with my lack of math knowledge, only could "feel". Since then I follow her work and her couraged engagement. Though I love to pay my tax for new insights in the understanding of nature and our existance, I think, if people like me loose their interest in science, the anti-science crowd will grow, and then, hard times will come for science. For me, it´s a shame, that for such a long time, no one did fund the interesting table experiments about the measurement process in QM, that SH suggests since many years now. Wish you all the best.

@@legbert123you clearly know nothing about her channel and the things she's working on man o.O

@@legbert123Lmfao, so salty that you have to scroll down and talk shit about a person enjoying and supporting a content creator. It's his/her money and instead of being a douchebag, you could have used that time to actually start looking for a job!

@@legbert123 What a nasty man!

"I was also irritated by the inaccuracy with which results are produced" THIS, ohhh you can't image how this makes me angry.

In the beginning, we were all ignorant and delusional. Then the realities of this world became apparent. Why be bitter about it?

You're supposed to be able to have a husband bring you, the mother the resources to give birth and raise your child. We have always been able to do this until the petrol dollar was invented and bankers realized they would need more workers or the system would crash too soon. One parent gets the resources and contributes to society. The other parent raises the child and contributes to your family. Corporations have demanded that both parents be tapped for work and our children have suffered dearly for it. In Ireland it's actually in their constitution that should this ever happen they have a right to dissolve the gov and start over(should a mother ever be forced to work in order to raise her child as this is the entire point of society, we know we can make a society where only one parent needs to work and so any society where 2 must is a failure and they KNEW THIS). I don't think they enforce it or they just give welfare checks to them. Regardless, only serfs and indentured servants were made to have mothers work. We have been enslaved and told it was empowering.

At least you are an independent, strong empowered wahman❤

I thought scientists were infallible? Sounds like we've been sold another lie by the atheists.

Awesome, and I can totally relate. After 20 years in corporate business, and therefore sustaining it, three years ago my conscience had enough. I quit, changed my life around and became a professional gardener. Best decision ever. You will find your path, I’m sure. All the best 🧘🏻🤘🏻

You make impact on kids than writing research grants for university

@@vincentzevecke4578 thank you!

Actually, it's worse than that. There are other parts of the system that she hasn't yet looked at closely enough to realise how rotten they are. Most people don't reset their expectations for the parts they can't see to keep in line with the parts they can.
