I believe I have a moral obligation, and maybe you'll agree too, maybe not. I have a moral obligation. I'm taking your money. I'm taking taxpayer money. Imagine if you're the person who installed the countertops in your home. And they said to you, you said, you know, excuse me, you know, sir, you know, how's it going? I'm sorry, Jordan, what I do.

And a lot of it is p-hacked and, you know, implicitly, you know, hacked to get the results that were desired, whether it's for some drug company's benefit. But even beyond that, the workaday scientist, I'm talking to the person in the lab next door to me, not some, you know, shill for Pfizer or something like that. I'm talking about just a workaday scientist.

And, you know, she or he will say to me, I'm not good at that. I'm sorry. You, Brian, you have to give to it. By the way, I don't think I'm that good. But I do think that I have an innate desire for the 1% gains that can be made by iteration. That every iteration, I try to get 1% better. My conversation, the questions I ask, the types of conversations that I have and the depth that I go into.

I forgot, you know, to my friend. I'll say, yeah, you were born knowing quantum electrodynamics. No, no, no. I work really hard at it. Oh, oh. So you work hard at that which you think is valuable.

So that means you're telling, you're admitting, you're copying to the fact that you don't think communicating to your boss is important. And I find it shameful.
