Luxon's "I was out there building a kick-arse business" just galls me so much. Bro you were employed by a couple of gigantic inefficient enterprises. You did not build a pie shop or a landscaping business. You did not build a tech startup.

You did not seek out and hire dozens of kiwi graduates and teach them how to build and run amazing software engineering teams. You did not lay off a bunch of friends in 2015 after learning hard lessons about tech VC funding. You got a pay packet. Get over yourself.

The argument that curiosity-driven research should be supported because it reflects an essential part of human nature does not work if you try it on people who lost their essential humanity a long time ago.

Thinking that if every comic has their own, personal, version of The Aristocrats gag then every physics teacher should have their own, personal, explanation of the Twin Paradox.
