I have two professors that I have strong memory of.

The first thought classes that she was not qualified to teach. Using methods outside her narrow window of understanding hurt your score. She set a rule that if you ask for her to recheck a question on the final you will lose 20 points. On my final I had a minus 20 because she doesn't understand powers of 2.

The second is brilliant but very absent minded. Gave us a badly worded question. It was meant to be a very hard question and I didn't know the subject well enough to solve it. Used mathematical logic to prove he didn't ask what he thought he was asking. And solved the very easy question he actually asked.

He gave me a perfect score and a job.

Following the flow chart I came to the conclusion that plastic dinosaurs are real dinosaurs.

Bioinformatics isn't used only for medical research or within big companies. Sub-topics like metagenomics, that are helpful in many areas of research, require high level of technical knowledge, that the life science people don't have.

You can work in bioinformatics, the pay is lower than FAANG, but your code will benefit society.

They are not limiting their foot print to 1/4 acre. They are using bikes, using glass and forge the forest.

It's like offloading your aluminum production to another country and claiming you are living 100% on renewable.

Current western left wing values is too broad of a term.

From great ideas such as equal rights, that goes into the small details. Phrasing questions in classrooms to males only for examples. With great science behind it to show that it in fact removes success bias for males in maths.

To destructive ideas such as diversity hires.

From great ideas such as financial help to disabled people.

To destructive ideas such as forcing small businesses to be accessable with heavy fines that may break them.

From great ideas such as opposing the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.

To destructive ideas such as supporting Hamas. Which is a big WTF for me.

Communism is also a stinking pile of shit.

This shit is so misleading. Fascism isn't the only authoritarianism. They too are anti-fascists. But you don't get free speech.

Nor is it a white only problem, or deadly only to Jewish people.
