You don’t like biology? Well now you just asked to be dropped off by the side of the road and forced to walk all those freakin’ miles home to Jersey. What’s not there to appreciate? It’s LIFE. I mean, the smartest geniuses have trouble making a robot but the dumbest person is still able to produce another complex living being. It’s just remarkable how these things, these structures are actually able to do something on their own. I mean… there are… bi… well.. it’s not just a certain type of people, you’d be surprised but a lot of people… who… have a hard time finding something recognizable in abstract ideas and concepts like those in theoretical physics or astrophysics. You can’t see it; it is just so out there. I mean, what do you really see? It’s just BLIMP, it’s gone in a second, and you see a data point on a computer and all that excitement for that. It’s kind of a cold way, a cold thinking. Truth is, I have no freakin’ clue how I came to like biology, but it is life and you have to remind yourself to appreciate it.
