How can absolute morons become so rich, while really smart people like scientists remain poor?
This is not just a modern phenomenon, it has persisted throughout human history. Does that mean being smart has less evolutionary importance than being a cunt?

I consider myself smart and I don't care much for money.

scientists usually dont focus their effort on doing things which make you rich in our society .while people who become rich do .
if you focus on becoming rich you are more likely to become rich then someone whose focus is the study of some scientific field .

Nobel? If the scientist patents and captialises on a great invention he becomes super rich.
Theoretical scientists still make mad, albeit less, dosh through speaking fees, board of directorships, and university pay. IIRC Tao earns half a million a year as a professor.

Because you still believe in some mythological idea of smartness that lets anyone transcend any boundary and is a universal "ability" that both rich people and scientists should have.
