In general, I'm trying to reduce how much I spend rather than increase it.

But it is addictive, as you know.

And it is something that has to be constantly monitored.

As for Grindr.

Yeah.

So there's a lot there.

I would say the most kind of archetypal or stereotypical in a good way reactions of a scientist is surprise.

It's not eureka.

You know, I found what I wanted to find.

It's like, wow, that's weird.

Like that wasn't supposed to be there.

Scientists are very good at detecting flaws.

I have a saying that flaws lead to new laws.

Like the fact that

the orbit of Uranus did not match what was predicted by the laws of Newtonian gravity, led to the discovery of a whole new planet.

So it was a flaw in our understanding or in the data that led to a new law.

Similarly, the flaws in Mercury's orbit led to the revolution of general relativity.

So I like to look for a few things.

I like to look for what's called epistemic humility.

Like, am I saying I know the answers?
