THen you deserve the war, famine and hate that the world is filled with, reap it.
Yup, that's humanity for you. Don't idealize it too much.
Then make better friends.
"Man kills wife with kitchen knife", the newspaper says. "Sentenced to life in X prison".
And you jump and say "No! Don't give him prison. She should've gotten a better husband".
People don't have the best judgement when they pick their allies, and theoretically they shouldn't have to, since there are certain compromises that are there to stop people from doing idiotic stuff that harms the other party, such as re-publishing a book under another name and competing with the original author for the royalties.
Then make better security protocols.
Same reply as before.
Can you not continue that research?
Is this even the point? The past research was stolen. He can continue the research, but he won't get his previous research compensated. Should he just abandon the idea or fight the plagiarist in the courts and get something out of it?
Oh, but then you'd be submitting to the laws and you can't allow yourself that as a sovereign, so you have no choice but to live with it.
Go chocke on a microphone to a pop beat, that would be much more lucrative
"No more science! Everyone go to Las Vegas to sing and dance! It's more profitable!"
People often choose their occupations depending on their preference. Sometimes they compromise for less money if the activity is more enjooable.
and let the people who invest their own talents into researching cures for Alzheimers do it simply to find the cure and any compensation afterwards would be the icing on the cake.
And nobody wanted to give the icing on the cake to the scientist and he stayed in his shanty house driving a bicycle to work while his previous trustee is now running a successful foundation and bathing in dollar bills? I mean, it's a hypothesis, but still, compensate where it's due and condemn the offenders. It's basic human behaviour.
