  • I think there is just way too little data on the subject.

    Like, for example, I used to organize some local PsyTrance gigs with DJs mostly (also artists, but the DJ sets were cheaper 🤷) and I know for a fact that at least 1 of the people that DJed on the gigs has a PhD in genetics. The other one, I’m not sure (he said he did have a PhD, but he was just way too plastered at the time to take him seriously).

    I think most of them are genuinly afraid to actually say they’re highly educated in this or that field, because of how society might look at them if they do - you’re a decadent human being, you don’t deserve your PhD. Not to mention that for some of these people, this is like an alter ego for them. Some of them have normal 9 to 5 jobs, just like to do drugs and music on the weekends… I don’t have anything against this, of course, but society views these things differently 🤷.











  • 3D printers and laser cutters are significantly cheaper now.

    I’ve fixed a few laser engravers for people that use them for jewelry. The current price of one for, let’s say, ring engraving (3 axes) is in the ballpark of about 7 to 10K euros. And we’re talking about the cheap Chinese copies here, not ones made by brand name companies.

    This is still expensive in terms of personal ownership. Unless you use it for uour business, there is no way you can buy this solely for your YT channel.
