How come people in the sciences are never able or willing to fund their own research? Why do they always depend on welfare gibes handouts for funding instead? Are their advanced degrees worthless?

that takes away from attention you can give to whatever the fuck you study.
you only have so much attention and time. wasting it on gathering resources makes other scientists, who have resource support, out compete you. you can either maximize a skill or be a jack of all trades.

I’ve unironically spent the last six months self-funding a small experimental setup, mostly through getting second hand equipment off eBay and surplus stores and machining a few parts myself. Currently have a lead on an HV supply I’m waiting to hear back on.
I’m out about two grand so far, probably another grand before it’ll be to the point where I can start doing actual experiments, but probably double that to get sufficient instrumentation to be publish-worthy.
So, in answer to your question - because it’s fucking expensive and time-consuming and has worse odds of success.

honestly it seems like the correct way to go about making advances in scientific research is to first become rich and then fund your own studies into things you want to develop
anything else inevitably just ends with becoming a whore for whatever agenda someone wants to slap a wafer thin veneer of scientific credibility on top of
I mean the enlightenment era geniuses were literally just a bunch of rich dudes

don't think that works out that way. when you start making money you usually start having extra obligations for various vacuous shit, and all of a sudden you're wasting all your time to make money. doesn't work like that, the two mindsets are not congruent

How come billionaires are never able to earn their wealth? They rely on getting it from others. Whether it is inherited from family or from smaller amounts from many people across the country, they never earn it themselves.

all right let's break this down
>extra obligations
okay then accommodate those extra obligations you should still be left with a profit margin
if you're not then someone somewhere is trying to fuck you
figure out who it is
and then fuck them back
threaten to destroy everything they own
this is how life works in the upper class
like I'm sorry but you can't just pursue wealth and wisdom and also be a pussy at the same time

All the big key researchers were either people who came from wealthy families (they didn’t have to take time or effort to become rich, they were just born into it and used their family’s money to fund their lifestyle and research) or had wealthy patrons fund their research (which is essentially the system we have now)

Former Physics postdoc here. Basically the equipment needed is way too expensive for self funding. Salaries, however, were so low you kind of subsidised research by hardly getting paid. I didn't know disposable income before I left academia.

Why did you feel that it was OK to spend fortunes of other people's money on pointless useless experiments that you couldn't afford to fund on your own dime? Why is it unthinkable for you to fund your own research, but not unthinkable for you to seize other people's wealth for the same purpose? Why do you assume that others were willing and able to pay when you weren't willing or able to part with a penny of your own money for that cause?
Why are science faggots so cheap with their own money and at the same time greedy from other people's money?

no they don't, they publish lies in the academic vanity press, they don't do anything other than that. the airplane was invented by bicycle mechanics, electronic data networks were invented by a portrait artist, the computer was invented by lyonnaise loom operators. scientists can only invent fictions like dark matter and global warming and like their own completely false reputation for being inventive and useful when all they really do is waste other people's money on publishing lies in the academic vanity press

There are a lot of problemsof useless researchers yes but it's all about the system and the thinking needing to be more out to seek for the best of everyone wich is not the case : everyone cares about their own bs and bury temselves in it.
If scholars are taught to reallybe open minded and to think for everyone many more people would start studying things that matter more like energywise, medical and etc.
But corruption and the use of a consumerist society made us seek the wrong things, seeking neuroscience just to sell and not to make people smarter, searching for better foam for shoes technology when people still starve.
It's a cruel world and it's only because the people are corrupted

Thoughout the Enlightenment and the industrial age, scientists were just NEETs who could afford to mill around in the lab all day because their parents were aristocrats. And if they needed to fund their research, their family's estate covered the costs. Then academia was opened up to the proles, who couldn't afford to fund their own research.

Universities, as hubs of research and innovation, have played a pivotal role in driving technological advancements. With support from government grants, these institutions have been able to conduct groundbreaking research across a myriad of fields, from medicine and engineering to computer science and renewable energy. This research often forms the foundation for transformative technologies that shape industries and improve lives.
Government grants have been crucial in providing the financial resources necessary for researchers to explore new frontiers and push the boundaries of knowledge. By funding basic research, governments have created an environment where scientists and engineers can pursue ambitious ideas without the immediate pressure of commercial viability. This freedom to explore has led to serendipitous discoveries and breakthroughs that have paved the way for countless innovations.
Moreover, public funding ensures that the benefits of technological progress are accessible to all, rather than being confined to those who can afford it. By investing in research and development, governments can foster innovation that addresses societal challenges and promotes economic growth.
From the internet and GPS to renewable energy technologies, many of the most transformative innovations of the last century have roots in publicly funded research. As we look to the future, continued investment in research and innovation will be essential for tackling pressing global issues and unlocking the full potential of emerging technologies. By recognizing the vital role of public funding in driving technological progress, we can ensure that future generations continue to benefit from the fruits of innovation.
