    Economic Reality
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the disparity in educational opportunities, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals who must balance work and survival with their academic pursuits. The original poster expresses gratitude for their ability to focus solely on learning due to financial stability, while questioning how others manage to earn degrees under economic constraints. There is a strong sentiment that many potential scientists and innovators are hindered by their need to prioritize survival over education. The conversation also touches on the belief that systemic issues within the monetary system contribute to this inequality, suggesting that basic survival could be achievable for everyone with current knowledge. However, a response indicates that the topic may be better suited for a general discussion rather than an academic guidance forum, implying skepticism towards the more conspiratorial aspects of the original post.

I have to gain a real deep understanding of everything I'm learning in university and luckily for me I don't have to work to survive so I can put all day every day into learning which is what I like to do because I love learning about scientific fields. How do other people that aren't as fortunate as me manage to get college degrees though? I'd say there are plenty of people who would become scientists and change the world for the better but they can't because most of their time goes into survival. We seem to be economically enslaved and it doesn't have to be this way because with the knowledge we have today basic survival can be covered for every single person on the planet. I suspect foul play from the people involved in the maintenance of the monetary system and other control structures.

I share the same thinking (almost I guess )
 
The seems like it belongs less in 'Academic Guidance' and more in the general section. This section is for school, not for crackpot theories about government.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
