> As a dev it has kinda shredded my desire to do large scale unpredictable projects

I understand the anxiety that drives this and have found the best approach to be bringing that up to my manager, verifying those types of contributions are still welcome, why you think they are important for the business, and your desire to make sure your keeping up with "core functions".

I assume those "boilerplate type" tasks communicate their business value outwardly much better and are known quantities, but do little for your development.

Here are my thoughts, as someone who completed a physics PhD not too long ago and switched academic fields.

There are two parts to your question: 1) How do I study up on advanced topics efficiently and 2) How do I do research with my current circumstance.

For 1), I would first continue working through grad-level textbooks. If you need some structure look at the textbooks used for required course at your favorite/dream grad program/school. These will hopefully give you a solid foundation of the physics/math for current research.

The next part about specific papers is tricky, because a lot of physics (sub-)subdomains are highly specialized and have their own terms and notations. In general though, my process is to look at the references and citations, and sometimes the references and citations of those. I am basically either looking for a paper or two that frames it in a way that I have seen before, or points to an old textbook that I am not familiar with. The process takes a bit of time at first, but is smoother after doing it a few times.

For 2), it depends on how deep into research you want to go. The current path would lead well to being well-versed in the current landscape as an outside observer. I think in all likelihood to do anything more than that you will need to have some affiliation with a research institution. If you want to be able to pursue your own research interests within those institutions, you will very likely need a PhD. Unfortunately it is hard to give more specific advice without knowing more details/desires. If you are in the bay area, you could also look at LBNL or LLNL and see if there is anything interest there for you.
He said, "If you and I can agree that we will both do our share of the work of the
world" -- that's the work 'round the Joe Hill House -- "If you and I agree that we
will only take what we need and put back what we can; if you and I can agree that
we'll care for the afflicted: and mostly, if you and I can agree that we won't hurt
anybody" -- all the things you can't get from the boss and from the state -- "then we
can begin to build between us that voluntary combination and get the work of the
world done without the boss and without the state."

Well, I've said that t'so many young people, especially lately, who get this idea
that anarchy is some kind of nihilism: "Oh you can't tell me what to do". No!
Anarchy, you've got to tell _yourself_ what to do because you've got to learn to become
your own best government. And believe me, you can do it better and cheaper than they
can.

I don't say there is a silver bullet. But there is tendency on people not trained in typewriting to have RSI. And the capslock remapping is a clue of people not being trained.

Maybe the training forces to have the right siting position or to remove bad positions, or the memory muscle needed to achieve more than 100 words/min, or the hand not overusing 2/3 fingers. Or the hand position... Or maybe its everything.

For me it's like heavy lifting, they way you push/pull the weights, minimize the injuries.

what a bunch of bad examples.

I (used to, pre-covid) see daily plenty people cutting bus lanes, so these exist, and what you going to do to protect society from them? even a stern look is not the anarchist way.

most sport teams have a captain and a trainer and most volunteer forces are under supervision of more experienced staff around here. sure they don't strictly command the squad, but they're the one responsible for organizing participant to minimize internal and external friction

that capitalism is unfair is so generic it's extremely disingenuous to make that critique as a sign of anarchism

there's quite a logical jump from "two wrongs don’t make a right" to "abolish the criminal justice system", which isn't about punishment to begin with in most societies.

"Pretty much every achievement has been based on cooperation and mutual aid" - pretty much most of the contemporary technological jump came from wwii, and the modern technological jump came from private holdings competing and one upping one another.

"Do you believe that human beings are fundamentally corrupt and evil" uh, there's psychopathology that need to be cured; how many people submitted to rehab vs how many people were forced into?

"certain sorts of people are inferior specimens, destined to be ruled by their betters? " of curse I wouldn't call them "inferior" and "ruling", but some people require continuous assistance or guidance. this question has been loaded with negative term to cause a certain predefined answer to seem the only right answer. ask yourself is someone with dementia would need a tutor to manage their finances instead and help them trough surviving in decent condition, and suddenly the answer is not as much black and white.

hope this is because it's a very short essay to a large introductory text, because otherwise is severely lacking both in arguments and the logic by which what's there has been built.
I think there is some misunderstanding here in your comment and parent: I think that the parent wasn't referring to "official" sole sourcing, but rather to the (common?) phenomenon of government issuing a RFP or similar with unnecessary requirements/specifications that purposefully exclude certain possible suppliers, or are even tailored specifically to a certain product, while ostensibly allowing for a bidding process.

An example from my country in the EU: the government decided to provide schools with prototyping boards for electronics for kids to play with and maybe learn something, with a formally open procurement process. Turns out the procurement requirements were written quite tightly around the specifications of the BBC Micro Bit board, so as to disqualify other possible products (down to board width and length).

To be honest, this specific example wouldn't cause me to worry one bit, except that after learning about it I suspect that the same procurement fixing method is used for other, more important projects.
Most people do behave "decently" in this sense. However some do not. Under an open system, these outliers will eventually eat the decent. It strikes me this is likely the exact journey we have come on to arrive where we are. We have created a structure in which the monsters can eat a certain proportion of us in order that we may not be eaten.

... but some people like Graeber, make the transition from spreading a mesage form of activism to violent and destructive activism.

Not only does that alienate people, it's also findamentally wrong in a democracy.

If you cannot convince people to vote differently with your words, then using violence and intimidation makes you a cancerous part of the system.
The fundamental nature of politics is that it’s about relationships of power- how power is exercised, who has power, who doesn’t, and what the relationship is between people or groups of people. Whenever one person or group of people is above another in some kind of power hierarchy, the same kind of dynamic develops, no matter whether it’s in a corporate office or medieval Europe or anywhere else- its always the same. The people on the bottom will always display resentment and resistance towards those who have power over them, because nobody likes having explicit or implicit violence threatened on them and being exploited or told what to do. The person or people on top will always display contempt and fear towards those underneath, contempt because in order to justify being on top one has to believe that they are superior or more deserving in some way, and fear because on some level they know that they are outnumbered by a lot of very angry people. They know that the sword of Damocles hangs over their heads. The discourse of the political right wing is therefore always going to be dominated by both contempt and fear, for exactly those reasons. The contempt manifests in talking about a “culture of victimhood” and “welfare queens” and “black on black violence” and “snowflakes” and the fear manifests in calls for law and order, more aggressive policing, border walls and increased military funding. But the source of the discord is the power hierarchy itself, whether it be racial or class or gender or whatever, and until that is abolished the same poisonous political dynamic will persist. It cannot be papered over by advocating for everybody to “just get along” or “give peace a chance”; that’s just one more way to tell the people at the bottom that they need to stop complaining and accept their situation. Even if the discord calms down for a while, it will inevitably bubble back to the surface again as resentment and anger build up, and fear and contempt to meet it. Only equality can resolve the conflict.

“Anarchists are simply people who believe human beings are capable of behaving in a reasonable fashion without having to be forced to.”

My anarchist sympathies want this to be true but this is a demonstrably false fairy tale. Just look at how we treat the planet and other living things in the presence of lawful order. Why would you assume that we would act righteously in the absence of law? It is painfully obvious that we would act much worse under anarchy.
Part of that is from population growth. We can control for population growth by using GDP per capita: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/SGP/singapore/gdp-per-...

--which gives a rate of growth of 10.7%, and some of that will be inflation: the data is denominated in USD, which famously inflated rapidly in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Here is my math: solve for rate where e ^ (31 times rate) = 11828 / 428. (I am compounding continuously.)

ADDED. according to https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm, the dollar inflated by a factor of 4.39 between 1959 and 1990, giving an inflation-adjusted rate of 5.93%.

I wonder what South Korea's economy did during those years.

We all have to live in this system, it's unrealistic to think all anarchists should be ideologically pure and live in the woods off the land like Kaczynski.

Female empowerment is what is listed in the paper and what is generally accepted.

I've typically heard two drivers:

1) children turned from an economic boon/necessity to a sink. They can start helping with farm work pretty early, not quite so much when the industry work, they have to be somewhat older and can't tag along when the parents are working.

2) women could spend their time working and earning money. They could start to support themselves.

We've been able to accelerate this trend by offering access to contraception and decreasing infant mortality.
The major problem with anarchist and libertarian philosophies is being demonstrated in the US right now ... at least 30% of the population is willingly supporting a man with despotic intentions, seemingly to it's bitter conclusion. The secondary problem is there are always sociopaths willing to use that 30% for their own ends.
Doesn't surprise me considering neoliberalism and anarchism have a lot of the same goals in terms of dismantling the state.

An analogy I like to use is a sum of numbers:

"A review published last year in the journal Bioelectromagnetics found no evidence that hypersensitive individuals had an improved ability to detect EMFs, and the study found evidence of the nocebo effect in those same people."

Every time I see someone claiming to have extremely clear symptoms of EMFs sensitivy, I wonder why they don't do a double-blind test to prove the whole world they can actually detect radio-waves. Should be a trivial test to perform properly, and would clearly help the case of hypersensitive people, so why hasn't it happened yet?

A swedish rapper said in 1998; "Den enda sanna demokraten är anarkist", translates to "the only true democrat is anarchist".

Not meaning the Democratic party in the US but rather a literal interpretation of the two words. Democrat meaning rule of the people and anarchist meaning no leaders.

I was raised to believe in anarchism, and I still do at heart. But if it were ever to work we'd need strict and global regulations on centralized power that would need to be upheld by a coalition which would itself become a centralized power.

Because evolution itself is randomness unchecked. So a political ideology alone can't control when someone will come along wanting to exploit systems to break free and gain more power for themselves or their own people.
Exactly this. It's a lovely dream, but humans are lazy, aquisitive, and many would sell their own grandmother to gain a perceived advantage.
It's a good question. Not specifically about the London School of Economics, because that was started by Marxist Fabian Society members 125 years ago, but about a lot of academia.

Of course anarchism is a resistance to rule by domination, not to systems and procedures. Some universities are no doubt power centers, though.

edit: anarchism means "no ruler." It's usually painted by people who think rulers are necessary as something like amorphism i.e. "no shape."
The view from a U.S. swing county
Thinking that nuclear safety just comes down to digging a big hole and filling it with water is such a gross over simplification that I honestly can't believe you are arguing in good faith.

Maybe a particular reactor design could use such a mechanism as one failsafe, but that alone is not enough, and no design is perfect, and the people operating it are not perfect.

I think some of the risks of nuclear are acceptable, I am actually very pro nuclear, but we should acknowledge them instead of pretending they don't exist. The only way risk can be properly managed is if it's acknowledged.

People mean different things when they say they're anarchist. This article describes a mix of libertarianism, humanism and egalitarianism that is quite admirable. But many anarchists are willing to use violence against anything or anyone they perceive as powerful or oppressive, and it's pretty easy to frame pretty much anyone you disagree with in those terms. There's a reason that anarchism is associated with violent stereotypes. I personally prefer to identify with values like egalitarianism and humanitarianism without a label like anarchism that is often associated with violence that I disagree with and don't want to be even remotely associated with.
