I had this crazy novel idea over thanksgiving, which I told to two biologists who work at the university here. We should be using biology to make businesses that people can copy and move out of cities. That's when I got a little lecture about "we all have to do things we don't like" which was because biologists only study what the government gives grants for.
Uhhh. I'm so frustrated over that conversation... Literally the smartest people in the room, possibly the two highest IQ people in the Texas, and they could not understand anything I was saying.
