Yes, that Dilbert is funny, as usual.

Yes, I thought of the regulars in this newsgroup
when I saw that.

Unfortunately there isn't a profitable market for pseudo
science, since so much of it is available for free.

Just spent a few days a national conference in my field.

What is this field again?

So many people doing interesting things and having fun
at it. And making money too. Night and day.

I recently presented at a symposium. All sorts of interesting
and important research is being done in the field I spoke
about. It was fun preparing and giving the talk. So far it has
not generated any income.

Rick++ doesn't understand that there are also so many people not doing
interesting things, not having fun, and not making money night and day.

And perhaps there are successful but bitter scientists and
unsuccessful but happy scientists.
