Impressive dedication to science.
- gumby 4y agoThanks! I prefer to think of it as pettiness or peevishness. I knew there would be no risk.
- injb 4y ago>> I knew there would be no risk. ...as long as the plumming tape was made from Teflon, and nothing else.
- unsupp0rted 4y agoI assume the majority of the most important science humans have done was to win an argument or impress a woman (or, more rarely but more notably, a man).
- gumby 4y agoMostly men, for tenure or boasting purposes. Until quite recently women were excluded from science, as they were excluded from so many other interesting things.
- SturgeonsLaw 4y agoDepending on how reductionist you want to get (and if you're anything like me, that's quite reductionist), most everything we do is at least tangentially associated with impressing a mate.
- scns 4y agoBoth criminals and scientists put in the biggest amount of energy into their "career" before they hit 30. Trying to impress a mate makes sense as an explanation. The peaking physical condition and declining Testosterone production after 30 might be another reason.
