> Both the scientific an the rich deserve more respect than others actually
Respect is earned, not bought. Which is why I can respect a scientist I haven't directly met, but rarely respect a rich person I haven't met.
In saying that, there are people with large net worths whom I have met, and hold in high regard because they're great people. And there are people I've met in the scientific community who are complete and utter numb-skulls.
I do agree that people as a whole tend to show respect for these people. But yeah, I think respect needs to be well-placed.
