But isn't that really bizarre?

Because University of Austin, Texas was supposed to be a university that fixed all the bullshit that was wrong with other universities.

Oh, it's much more insane than that.

This was the home of Steven Weinberg, who moved from Harvard to Texas because the money, the oil money was used to buy brains.

So basically, Texas raided Harvard for people like John Tate in the math department, Steven Weinberg, who was probably the greatest living theorist.

And that was the continuation of the Bryce DeWitt group from North Carolina Chapel Hill that was set up to do anti-gravity by Agnew Bainson.

So you're right next to an amazing physics department with a crazy history.

that in fact touched anti-gravity.

This is one of the tiny number of places that has a real legacy in that department.

And I was speaking there on gravity, on dark energy.

And look, I've been lying my whole life about my relationship with the physics world because of this pressure.

They can't listen to me if I say I'm a physicist.

So I say I'm an entertainer.

But people say, well, why would you do that?

Why would you say that you're an entertainer when you obviously are conversant in all this stuff?

And the answer is I don't want to die.

I don't want to lose my ability to enter a physics department.

So I take on this completely wrong persona.

And, you know, I have the emails.

You're not giving a talk.
