That's weird, you're at MIT. You're in the circle of people that's allowed to succeed.

I wouldn't think much about it, as it was probably a genuine mistake.

What does allowed to succeed mean?

[moralestapia]

Your work usually has 1,000x the exposure and external validation compared to doing it outside those environments, where it would just get discarded and ignored.

Not a complain, though. It's a requirement for our world to be the way it is.

Is there truth to this? Do you have any sources to link to on this

[moralestapia]

Sure dude, here's the link to the UN Resolution about which researchers deserve attention and which others do not, signed by all countries around the world [1].

*sigh*

It's pretty obvious, if you publish something at Harvard, MIT, et. al. you even get a dedicated PR team to make your research stand out.

If you publish that on your own, or on some small research university in Namibia, no one will notice.

I might be lying, though, 'cause there's no "proof".
