Recognizing that all people are, well, people would be a good first step on the road to ensuring that we dont all not become paperclips, right?

Yeah, I immediately started humming along with Johnny Paycheck. Imagine being a senior researcher at the peak of your career, working for 6 months to a year on a paper, submitting it to a top tier conference, getting accepted, then getting
