    I’m gonna get a PhD and be $100k in debt and change the thing so obscure that nobody else has bothered studying it yet so that in 50 years someone cites the paper in an essay.

      I wrote a paper to call someone out on their incorrect work from their early career while they are now in their retirement.

      I hope they didn’t see my paper or that they just didn’t care. Sorry mate.

        I hurt me when I didn’t study anthropology instead. At least then I’d be poor and could comprehend what I’m reading without googling half the words.
