      The premise of who are the best people is up to debate. Faraday would never have qualified in such an institution and he outweighs this institution contributions collectively. "These poor bastards could now sit and think clearly all by themselves, OK? So they don't get any ideas for a while: They have every opportunity to do something, and they are not getting any ideas. I believe that in a situation like this a kind of guilt or depression worms inside of you, and you begin to worry about not getting any ideas. And nothing happens. Still no ideas come. Nothing happens(@IAS) because there’s not enough real activity and challenge: You’re not in contact with the experimental guys. You don’t have to think how to answer questions from the students. Nothing!" Richard Feynman. The idea of the institute was a good one but the actual result a failure. The institute is a hot bed for the establishment in science. This establishment is as corrupt as the Roman Catholic church. The establishment must maintain its status quo at all cost, billions of dollars are at stake and who gets to control that money. The dogma that comes from the establishment is beyond surreal. In the end the collective thought of billions has been corrupted.

    If "only 5% of the Universe is known".., 5% of infinity is still infinity. Knowing the Principle by which function becomes a modality of form, is most of 100% of the value in this quality.

    I used to wander the intitute woods as I played hooky from my art classes at Pratt. I was trying to escape the nonsensical pretension that was enforced in my classes. I really feel that mathematics and science are the true educators of art. It is too bad that the Institute does not have an artist residency that integrates science and mathematics into art. Why do you only have an artists residency for musicians?
    I create algorithmic art and I have so many questions that I wish could be answered.

    Here I'm dreaming of joining this institute one day (bcoz it's great and I love the place) and than there is my hero Richard Feynman on these type of institutes
    "When I was at Princeton in the 1940s I could see what happened to those great minds at the Institute for Advanced Study, who had been specially selected for their tremendous brains and were now given this opportunity to sit in this lovely house by the woods there, with no classes to teach, with no obligations whatsoever. These poor bastards could now sit and think clearly all by themselves, OK? So they don't get any ideas for a while: They have every opportunity to do something, and they're not getting any ideas. I believe that in a situation like this a kind of guilt or depression worms inside of you, and you begin to worry about not getting any ideas. And nothing happens. Still no ideas come.

      Institute for Advanced Studies is not like any other typical school/college. It is like a holiday destination where you can work in you field of interest. You don’t have teacher, no lectures, no deadlines or fees. All you have to do is keep working on your research topic. The benefit of this place is you get to work with the top most intellectuals in the world. In order to get into this institute you need to apply from their website. You will be selected based on your contribution to the field and the quality of research you have already carried out. If I may ask sir/ma’am, in which field do you work?

    These are just extremely selfish people who work on what interests them rather than what would actually help improve the world. The world is a mess exactly because places like this are elitist and only help 0.001% of the population to realise their dreams and passions. The educational system around the world is extremely poor and made to keep most people ignorant. Why don't you focus on studying things that will actually help mankind, like ending poverty and disease, fixing the political system, etc? This is just ridiculous. These people are proud to be happy in a small utopia while plenty of others are ignorant of science and starve, and these people are wilfully ignorant of it all. Humans are just the worst species that's ever come along, and I'm glad we will soon be gone!

    • @MrGAMERSVID
      @MrGAMERSVID 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      These people though not directly doing this for the better of mankind are furthering their understanding of the field they are involved in and at the same time furthering that said field. They are not elitists, you just choose to see them that way, yes it's exclusive, but it aims to get a select few and help them out with their research, and they are always open to more people. I'll take Physics for example, simply, they deal with how the universe works from the quantum scale to astronomical scale of black holes, no where in that description is there a point where they are helping improve the education system, or the poor, it's simply just physics and that is what those who are involved with physics are doing, just physics. This institute is not a self contained town as it may seem, you don't have to comfortably situate your whole life inside the institute, the students of this institute are involved in things that goes past the institute themselves, they teach in lectures, attend conferences, some may even have side jobs, and some may even be volunteering. Finally what I want to say is that it's just unfair for you to make this judgement against the institute and the people that reside within it. "Why don't you focus on studying things that will actually help mankind, like ending poverty and disease, fixing the political system", most of the studies in the institute doesn't involve this, you are now putting down the fields which are not involved in this action, which millions of people have studied for years, you are putting down the significance of these fields, these passions, and interests, as they do not do what you condone.
