Then I lived some life and realized that absolutely everything is dependent on science. So I got my degree in science. I just had to learn as much as I could.

We have to find a way to stop destroying the curiosity of youth with shitty science classes in schools though. I tried teaching, and the requirements for the science classes were such that you could not teach how great science was....you had to spend all your time making it boring.
