Dad, how do I find something I love, so I can do it for a living?

The goal in life isn't to find something you love, it's to find something you can get realllll

Weird about

That's a terrible idea.

You wanna know why daddy is an astronomer? Not love, kid! That's something you say to students. No, it's because some quirk in my brain makes me want to keep revisiting data from telescopes. Like it's the default setting for my mental computer.

You try managing a4 million entry database with "love." it's like trying to get to mars on rainbows and snuggles. No! What you need is a mental defect that'd be considered pathological if it weren't useful to other people.

Why don't they talk about this in kids' science shows?

Why doesn't the spider tell the fly about its web?
