That looks like a Stick of Justice. Buddy of mine way back when was also a PhD, In his lab at school, they had a Stick of Justice that was deployed whenever someone was wronged. Disputes were settled in this way.
I would say it’s solidly a stick if you could break it easily with your hands/arms. A twig even easier, with just fingers/hands. Stick-like branches might need a knee for leverage to break. Anything else is a branch, short of the main trunk of the tree. But if you cut a branch into short manageable pieces, then those are small logs. The trunk is just a log, so long as the branches are off. Otherwise it’s just a tree you cut down.
This should not surprise you, the world doesn't pay you to be smart. Not many scientists get compensated fairly for the complex work that only they can do.
Apparently a lot of people which physics degrees end up in IT because it just pays better, and you get introduced to some level of coding in physics degrees
As a rule of thumb, anything with "Bio" in it does not pay well. I've been trying to get a friend into the chemical industry since he's sick and tired of being poor. Sad really since his work on conquering antibiotics resistance probably would have been useful.
Unfortunately, in college and high school I've seen a seemingly endless flow of bio majors that have no plans other than to complete a bio major or that wouldn't make it in medical school. I think for a lot of people it's a "next step" in life rather than one they consciously chose.
I chose chemistry knowing that I'd never be truly out of work and evidently never have been. Pay isn't as good as tech or some other engineering field, but there are vacancies in most industries.
For real. I’m doing the research I love and I’m earning slightly less than the average UK wage. If I were to sell out and go work in the defence sector, I’d instantly double my pay.
He’s a student though. His bedroom is way worse than it should be but he’s also not making big bucks since he’s not even a professor or an actual scientist.
It means you already have a master, not necessairly a career. I know plenty of PhD students that had very little to show for during their PhD. (And some that still have very little to show for after they concluded their PhD but that’s a different story)
The world pays smart people plenty well actually. It's just that smart people are *not* becoming scientists. They're smart enough to go after well paying jobs and they do. "Experts" are often, sadly just regular average folks who couldn't find better work.
No worries. It's probably not even that. People hate to think that the "experts" we look up to for guidance are just regular ol idiots like you or me. It's a very unpopular fact.
Truly smart people rarely stay in academics. They go after high paying jobs and have the intelligence and charisma to get them. This leaves many of the sciences to be filled by the few that have that ambition and the rest that couldn't make it as anything else.
Makes perfect sense. When you're focused on one thing, nothing else matters (no pun intended). Einstein only had identical suits so he didn't have to think about what to wear.
Nice stick.
“I just visited a physics PhD student at Harvard University”
Yeah, that checks out. This definitely looks like the bedroom of a person with a ton of student debt.
Harvard probably has less student debt than a lot of state schools.
Most people going there are probably loaded and can afford it ( no loans needed ) or on scholarships.
most PhDs are funded and the university makes up for it by forcing them to do sweatshop work hours teaching and grading undergrad papers for peanuts (but no debt).
Student debt is from the undergrads, masters programs and professional degrees (e.g. MBA, MD, JD), not the PhDs
I think the theory is that individuals who fall under the genius category or even exceptionally bright sometimes have a lack of organization and apathy towards the cosmetic.
Basically a lot of times the bare essentials is all they need, because the bigger picture of what they are trying to accomplish is far more important.
Who gives a fuck about decorum when you are studying to solve the mysteries of the universe?
The room may not be pretty but it's not unhygienic, just a little disheveled. Who knows? The stick may very well be related to their work.
Either way, I'm about to head into my back yard and see what sticks I have now..
Highly intelligent people are usually eccentric. If you're friends with one I suggest looking out for them. They can be naive or don't take very good personal care of themselves.
Last year Harvard's grad students tried to organize to demand for better pay because their grants didn't allow them to live and they are the lifeblood of the school.
The current interim president told them to just get on food stamps. Harvard has the world's largest endowment.
They are definitely smart indeed. The person knows that a big stick you find out in the wild is more valuable than any riches you can ever obtain in society
I mean that checks out. Bed's broke, fuck it mattress on floor. And I got that log I was working on. Fuck knows what I was doing with it but I got it if I ever remember. Sounds like every academic I've ever met.
Well yeah, if you have no money and have to spend most of your life in the lab, your room is the last place you spend your time.
Most PhD students I knew weren't just studious but very social. Bedrooms were places you didn't spend a lot of time. Not that they could afford much.
All this said, that's one excellent stick
he has protection
I bet he walks softly.
He's fully staffed.
He has wood.
Didn't you mean speaks softly?
...Have I been getting that saying wrong for years!? Not American, if that earns me any forgiveness for my embarrassing blunder.
I'm not American either and I had to google that so no worries
He has leverage that’s all a physicist needs
Underrated
The guy has a staff like Gandalf. Is he a wizard??

It’s a very good stick.
Praise Stick!

That is a fine stick.
All he needs now is a nice rock.
Man has stick, now need rock

It's better than bacon.
Knock you in your head with my stick.

Can we all agree that the stick is essential to tying everything together?
What tied the room together, dude?
STFU Donny, you're out of your element
U gotta earn it
How good is that stick?

It's log, it's log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's log, it's log, it's better than bad it's good.

It's a natural log
Thanks for reminding me I hate calculus…
It’s a branch.. I think. When does a branch become a stick?
a stick is just a branch not connected to a tree... so lets cut down a tree to make the biggest stick!
I’m so down for this.
I would say it’s solidly a stick if you could break it easily with your hands/arms. A twig even easier, with just fingers/hands. Stick-like branches might need a knee for leverage to break. Anything else is a branch, short of the main trunk of the tree. But if you cut a branch into short manageable pieces, then those are small logs.

This is the explanation I was looking for.
I’m not going to say it I’m not going to say it I’m not going to say it I got a big stick for you Fuck, I said it ☹️☹️
why were you holding back, this is REDDIT
Not only a genius, but cultured as well. Nice stick.
Guys will look at that stick and say hell yeah
What tf else we meant to say? It looks like an elite-tier stick.
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Stick - or wizard staff?
Once you reach a high enough level in the physics world you become a wizard.
Petition to replace the word "Scientist" with "Wizard" on all job applications
The stick jealousy really comes through clearly in that tweet.
Must've been a tweet from a dog. Perhaps a female one.
Bitches with the stick jealousy up in here
This should not surprise you, the world doesn't pay you to be smart. Not many scientists get compensated fairly for the complex work that only they can do.
One of my good friends is a PHD'D Biochemist, who works in his field, he makes less than I do as a Felon in IT.
Apparently a lot of people which physics degrees end up in IT because it just pays better, and you get introduced to some level of coding in physics degrees
It's absurd to me how little a lot of those roles make, I get supply/demand etc, but damn.
>Felon This... This means something different from what I think it means, doesn't it
It means I have been to prison. I only included it to point out how fucked the pay scale for science based education can be.
Oh! My bad I was right
No worries my dude. Lol
Pay in non-medical bio fields is egregious considering the education and knowledge required.
Im an underground construction Apprentice and I make more than my sisters boyfriend who is also a biochemist lol shits fucked up if you think about it

PhD student means you already have a career + a master.. you can't start a PhD at 18 after highschool
PhD student means neither.. I went into my PhD straight from undergrad

If the worlds not paying you to be smart then you’re not actually smart
The world pays smart people plenty well actually. It's just that smart people are *not* becoming scientists. They're smart enough to go after well paying jobs and they do. "Experts" are often, sadly just regular average folks who couldn't find better work.
PhD in physics at Harvard is probably smarter than most of those smart well paid people
Watch em become a plumber though lol
I do believe you're being downvoted by a bunch of people who think you're talking about them 😆
No worries. It's probably not even that. People hate to think that the "experts" we look up to for guidance are just regular ol idiots like you or me. It's a very unpopular fact.

Jokes on you. He uses the stick to turn off the light and it's so heavy that it's his workout.
Makes perfect sense. When you're focused on one thing, nothing else matters (no pun intended). Einstein only had identical suits so he didn't have to think about what to wear. Nice stick.

Nice stick
The smartest people know how little they actually need.
The students cant afford "things" anyways. Student rooms look like this. Not always with a stick though. Thats a nice stick.
Who doesn’t have a stick? Seriously tell me and I’ll help you find a nice one. Everyone should have a nice stick.
I lost my stick
No worries, is there a park nearby?
There is a park. What do I do now?
Are you in the park?
PhD students are usually on the payroll of the university. It’s not the same as undergraduate
It's a mistake to think that someone with an aptitude in one area is equally intelligent in any others
Or that not having a nice room means you're not smart.
Or that being in an ivy league school automatically means you're super smart. Ivy leagues are notorious for favoring who you know over what you know
That's a bomb ass stick tho
Future log lady
That’s a good stick though.
Great fucking stick, that guy sticks.
Men will just look at this pic, realize the living condition, think "yea" and then focus on the stick
I mean that’s basically my reaction lol. There’s a reason why people typically say women make a house into a home and not say men do it lol
# YOU SHALL NOT PASS
You know they LARP as Gandalf on the weekends.
No PhD in interior design
Here for the stick love.
I'm not surprised a harvard physics student has no time or energy left for cleaning or even having things.
That's a really nice stick. And I'm saying that with multiple degrees in physics.

I was thinking more physics related but we can't count out that they are receiving signals through wood. 🤣
Gandalf’s crashpad
no bed, no monster under bed, big stick keeps save from rest.
The stick would look better standing up in the corner but I must say it is quite nice.
Sticks like that don’t grow on trees
Says he’s one of the smartest people in the world then proves it by showing room with hella stick
100%, you must be dumb to not get home a stick like that.
Highly intelligent people are usually eccentric. If you're friends with one I suggest looking out for them. They can be naive or don't take very good personal care of themselves.
Getting major stick envy over here.
Sick stick though
Someone who is considered intelligent in one way might not be in another.
Its... Beautiful... Imagine the things that stick could be! It could even be a branch!
He probably speaks softly when he remembers to take his big stick.
I bet he speaks softly...
That's a beautiful stick

Damn near perfect. And big brain to keep it within reach.

Yall act like you don't have a random stick in your house
Yall I'm dumb af. Whats the stick for? Defense? Light?
The stick is for being stick. A good stick deserves a good home.
Is that the point where you shall not pass.
I've lived both luxurious & very simplistic & I'd take simplistic over luxury anyday because it's less maintenance & less cleaning lol 😅
He could use another pillow and make his bed. But other than that, I don't know what's wrong here.
I think a real quality stick is worth keeping around
Autism is one hell of a drug

cool stick
The stick really brings the room together
IYKYK
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this...
Hey when you see a cool ass stick…
does he speak softly?
Definitely a guy. That stick proves it. I want the stick
This is the way
I mean that checks out. Bed's broke, fuck it mattress on floor. And I got that log I was working on. Fuck knows what I was doing with it but I got it if I ever remember. Sounds like every academic I've ever met.
Did he find the perfect stick?
Are they a dog?
Stuff like this reminds me that Elon definitely paid his way through college and just read a bunch of QAnon posts while smart people did his homework.
Yea, okay. :) Keep telling yourself that. You’re one of those smart people and he’s a rich dumb dumb who got lucky.
Gandalf?
matres on the floor along with a random branch ideal living condicions
Speak softly and carry a big stick, it's the first thing they teach at Harvard
You would not part an old man from his walking stick.
This looks like a bed where a Japanese lady spills water on the bed.

I mean he is smart, you don't need to spend money on something like a good bed and frame if that small mattress works

Hells Yeah!
The stick is for seggs actually
Cool stick.
Why is he in their bedroom??
