[ My New Pet - Regret the Egret ]
I been tinking, world, about inspiration and creativity and coming together to make things better. There are so many brilliant ideas floating around that you (by which I mean me, middle-class white kid) just don't really see unless you're actively looking for them. It makes me wish I'd applied to something like Peace Corps or Teach for America or even med school. Because as important as basic science research is, it's not nearly as juicy and personally meaningful as actively helping people, most of it is just this... this mathturbation. And it is irking me. |
