So your plan is to get those who didn't do well at science to do science or tough luck because scientists can't communicate well but they're really important so we can't ask them to do it.
Great compromise. Oh and by the way, if people were motivated to understand the scientist they'd probably educate themselves. What's going to make that change?
I'm afraid I couldn't disagree more. If you're doing the work, you have the interest and the understanding then the communication should fall on your shoulders and not be abdicated to some underling because you can't be bothered.
Knowledge can only be made available - you can't force people to understand it. This attempt to get people 'motivated' is a big part of what causes this half-assed knowledge that people tend to have in the first place.
They're lured in with oversimplified statements and think they want to know more but then see how hard it actually is and just can't be bothered, and at the same time they feel they've made some mediocre achievement.
It's like with Rubik's cubes. They're easy if you take the time but most people don't. Most don't bother, the majority of the ones that do look up a beginner tutorial and think they know something, then you get these people spouting about how it's impossible for normal people to solve and it takes a mathematician months to do it on their own,
and they don't realize just how wrong they are. Dumbed down 'motivations' do more harm than good.
We don't need people who just want the easy access and can't be bothered when it gets a little tough. The best kind of motivation is when the person is motivated on their own, not when they are enticed.
The best kind of motivation is not a person who watches a YouTube beginner's method for Rubik's cubes and then never learns anymore. The best kind of motivation is a person who takes it upon their self to get a basic understanding of group theory to get past all the crutches and
blatant nonsense that gets carted around. Seriously it takes maybe a few hours to understand, and maybe a couple days practice yet we've got people telling you that it's some fancy genius bullshit when it isn't. And we're not going to yell over that noise. The info is there for those who
want to listen and
just for them.
