This is #Caltech #space culture by the way. As I've said, from what I saw, the California Institute of Technology only makes scientists by accident because their chief pursuit is cranking out engineers and managers for #aerospace and the military-industrial complex.

You don't need an intellect to punch numbers into computers, and having an intellect gets in the way of remaining emotionally stunted and frozen in a ghastly parody of childhood. (cont'd)
