Its okay! The community here is devine. Be patient. They will come.

Seeking advice: At present, I'm a (recently) tenured science professor in the USA who makes 2.8 BTC per year. I used to be tremendously motivated to do scientific research. However, after covid hit, and then my sabbatical, I have become less autonomously motivated to write papers that no one reads, or to interact with students who are there for a degree rather than to genuinely learn. Additionally, I', fond of learning about attention, memory, etc. but my field requires DEI statements to publish and all colloquia talks are now diversity based. I'm all about lifting impoverished, less-privileged people, but the woke shit is really becoming problematic to me. Over my sabbatical, I started a gourmet mushroom farm in my garage. Based on my current production output, I should reasonably be able to net a profit of 5.12 BTC per year selling delicious mushrooms to restaurants. I've also been coding since 1993 and am a devout BTC maxi. Help me, void! Should I stick to my tenured professor position and attempt to conjure motivation, or should I strike out and do something I find fun that makes more money, or attempt to balance both? nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m

forgive them father, they know not what they do.

Absolutely. Its the exhaust from the machine of genuine freedom.

This speech was so incredibly moving. It leaves me feeling that in modern America citizens are not genuinely free to make democratic choices about our leaders without pushing hard against the stream. There is no freedom in a binary option to pick the mere less of two evils when so many exemplary people are living in the country today. Thank you for fighting for our free speech, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m It is the only way we can recognize we have choices in front of us to fight for.
