This is a little disingenuous, that is like saying scarcity doesn't exist since you can buy almost anything at any price. There is always an implied "in a reasonable budget".
> Same reason why you trust a doctor, despite doctors underperforming (intelligent) self-directed health and nutrition research.
I’m skeptical of this claim. What’s “intelligent” research mean?
Index funds are literally sit it and forget it. Even easier than robo advisers. With year retirement funds you even get auto balancing with the same ease.
That's a bold statement considering the anti-vaccine climate today. The value in doctors isn't necessarily what they've learned but instead what trends they've seen personally and local to your area.
I do agree human financial advisors are mainly a tool for comfort. I've got one and most of our conversations instigated by him are relationship-building and not necessarily aggessive-fund-strategy type talk.
This is absolutely true in many cases. If I had myself to pay £2000 for journal submission, no way. But it comes out of research funds. And that in turn comes from whoever funds the University – government, or student fees.
Universities often limit what you can spend on OA, and even if there isn’t a hard limit, that money comes at the expense of other research items like student salaries and equipment. Funding agencies don’t write a blank check for publication costs.
Precisely, this is one of the few fields where actually being able to do it will make you more money than becoming an 'influencer' who talks about the field to other people. The fact he is doing the latter says a lot.
This is false.
You can easily find thousands of brand new Nvidia 3070/3080 GPUs online.
The problem is, you wish to pay MSRP. Supply and demand doesn’t work in your favor here.
