from a speech of Alexander Grothendieck at CERN in 1972 github.com/Lapin0t/grot...
Talking to many of my colleagues over the past year, I've come to realize that in fact this satisfaction that scientists are supposed to derive from exercising their cherished profession, is a pleasure... which is not a pleasure for everyone! I was astonished to discover that for most scientists, scientific research is felt to be a constraint, a servitude. Doing scientific research is a matter of life and death for any considered member of the scientific community. Scientific research is a prerequisite for getting a job, once you've embarked on this path without really knowing what it's all about. Once you've got your job, it's an imperative to move up the ladder. Once you've moved up the ladder, even assuming you've made it to the top, it's an imperative to be considered in the running. You're expected to produce. Scientific production—like any other kind of production in the ambient civilization—is considered an imperative in itself. The remarkable thing about all this is that in the end, the content of research becomes a second thought. It's all about producing a certain number of "papers". In extreme cases, a scientist's productivity is measured by the number of pages they publish. Under these conditions, for a large number of scientists—certainly for the overwhelming majority, with the real exception of a few who are fortunate enough to have an exceptional gift or to be in a social position and disposition that enables them to free themselves from these feelings of constraint—for most, scientific research is a real constraint that kills the pleasure one can have in carrying it out.
