Ditto. I am interested in science but at core, I'm an engineer, an
entrepreneur, and a writer. I'm glad someone else is writing papers, doing
experiments, or theorizing, but it is not relevant to meeting a milestone,
making a go of my company, or getting a manuscript to my publisher.
Previous threads have focussed on the split between art (mostly Natasha and
Nadia) and sci-tech (mostly everyone else). It seems that there's just as
profound a split in perspective between the sci- and the -tech.
