Understanding how a bunch of baroque proteins interact is the definition of stamp collecting. As a meat bag made up of such machines

I appreciate it for what it is. As a intelligence capable of abstraction I don't measure our progress in science by the number of stamps in our collection.

There are no big ideas, biology included, because peer review is only there for small ideas.

So you think biology is just proteomics and use meme expressions like 'meat bag', got it. Not updating my prior on you being unserious
I'm a coauthor on a peer reviewed biology paper with 5,000 citation.
"Co-author" lol we both know what that means. Still, if that's true that makes it even sadder. Hope you mature and broaden your horizons at some point instead of engaging in undergrad-style petty field rivalries
