I’ve noticed this take over the years, but it’s getting more prominent despite a very simple answer as to why it’s foolish. Actually it seems to rear it’s head anytime there’s a complex problem that doesn’t seem to be getting solved quick enough: person or team works hard to develop something that helps improve literally anything that’s an aside from what the listener cares about, let’s say a machine that passes butter. “Why’d you waste time on that garbage, you could have been fixing global warming!”. “Sir, I have zero education or experience in that science, I just know how to make small electronic devices that are fun, and thought perhaps they could pass the butter instead of me…”
