This is unironically something I hoped I'd become in the future, become a researcher and through my research teach the public some cool stuff and suggestions on what to do.

Unfortunately, things are fucked so no one respects people who actually study the material and would rather listen to businessmen or celebrities who would tell them exactly what they want to hear, which is surprisingly how doing nothing would protect "the economy".

So OP, I would just LARP as a busimessman or a boat salesman and then your opinion on anything will be more valid than actual researchers.
