I am in the field of applied math, and it took me 6 months to produce a paper. And now, I am out of ideas for new papers.

What should I do? How do I even continue? This is sooo difficult…

    Hey, think about all the mathematicians that were way smarter than you, did way more, and still had to get a regular job to support themselves.

    You’re not better than them, are you? You don’t deserve more before others who have less?

        You can get a job and do your math, too.

        Other people do more with less, why can’t you?

        Answer:

        Greed and entitlement.

          Lmao. “Entitled” just because I want to finish my PhD? Also people should be doing more with worse conditions just because there are some others being like that? What a corporate slave mindset. Bet you got way more greed, wanting others to suffer like that.
