We are building the noosphere here. We don't all have to wear that mantle, but some of us should have hopes and ambitions in our jobs. They don't even have to be consuming, but simply seeing this as an ongoing continual project seems due. We're coming close to RFC10000. No one goes home. We strive to open possibilities for humanity so we can all each keep exploring & going further.

Edit: oh good to see you again pjmlp, after last week. We fell to different sides then too, but I have continually enjoyed your writing, & again, while I talk & disagree, I would also not say you are wrong. You are more than correct, in the vast amount of cases. But I would suggest that this field in particular must also be heads up looking up & about, that just a job doesn't fully describe us all.
