You state: If you are just doing it for the money, please go into investing, not into engineering. I fully agree. However, in a monetized or equivalent socio-economic system (e.g., whether it is the neo-liberal USA, nomenklaturist former USSR, or neo-fascist economy of the current PRC),

Which is the appropriate forum if not one to which engineers and technologists who develop the technology (often under requirement from profiteers) do subscribe? Most of the fora upon which these matters are discussed are not read by the majority of engineers and technologists. On 4/27/21
