i sorta "give away free research agendas" as a way to survive in academia and the one i wish most someone would pick up on is NEUROSCIENTISTS COLLABORATE WITH CRYPTOGRAPHERS so they would hire me.

"no. NO. fuck off. Go into the deepest hole, curl up, and breathe the cold air. Smell wet moss. Reflect on lichen, your distant cousin, fungiing there on the ground nect to you. What would the lichen say? Words of deep harm, letters from millenia. Stay. Stay. stay the cline'd burrow."
