Continue to love your writing... but this post really had a lot for me:
- I also think that Louis CK bit is one of the best things ever. My wife and I reference it all the time.
- I quit majoring in Astrophysics back in 1992 for philosophical reasons similar to what you get at with your dark matter comment.
- I also use the Rumsfeld 2x2 epistemology quote all the time.
- I am also a lifetime Pirates fan. I was six years old in 1979, and picked my favorite team that year by just jumping on the fan bandwagon. That was ill-fated in some ways, given their history since... but I've stuck with them. I live in Rochester, NY -- so the closest team for me is actually the Blue Jays at 3.5 hours, but at least PIT is northeast. Anyway... I liked your comments about Skenes... dude is obviously a stud prospect, and I look forward to hopefully seeing him in the majors sometime this year. Go Bucs!
