I have not thought of this guy for a decade. What a smart and wise person he was.

so wisdom is just being a theater kid?
im joking, but also not.
the longer i go in life the more i realize how limiting my engineering education and knowledge is, and how important it is that everyone in life understand literature, and as an extension ... theater.
because life is theater. engineering is theater. no good thing comes about without good theater about it.
akin's law of spacecraft design:
20. A bad design with a good presentation is doomed eventually. A good design with a bad presentation is doomed immediately.
its always just been theater.
