And as long as they're not telling you just a complete idiot and they give you different reasons. And I mean, I'm, you know, if everyone, it's like with assembly theory and people said, oh, it's wrong. And I was like, why? And they're like, and no one could give me a consistent reason. They said, oh, because it's been done before or it's just come a goller off or it's just that and the other.

So I think the thing that I like to do is, and in academia, it's hard, right? Because people are critical, but I mean, you know,

The criticism, I mean, although I got kind of upset about it earlier, which is kind of silly, but not silly, because obviously it's hard work being on your own or with a team spatially separated like during lockdown and trying to keep everyone on board and have some faith that... I've always wanted to have a new idea.

I've always wanted to have a new idea.

And so, you know, I like a new idea and I want to nurture it as long as possible. And if someone can give me actionable criticism, that's why I think I was trying to say earlier when I was kind of like stuck for words, give me actionable criticism. You know, it's wrong. Okay, why is it wrong? You say, oh, it doesn't, your equation's incorrect for this, or your method is wrong, or...

And so what I try and do is get enough criticism from people to then triangulate and go back. And I've been very fortunate in my life that I've got great colleagues, great collaborators, funders, mentors, and people that will take the time to say, you're wrong because... And then what I have to do is integrate the wrongness and go, oh, cool, maybe I can fix that.

And I think criticism is really good. People have a go at me because I'm really critical. But I'm not criticizing you as a person. I'm just criticizing the idea and trying to make it better and say, well, what about this? And sometimes I'm kind of – my filters are –

kind of uh you know truncations in some ways i'm just like that's wrong that's wrong that's wrong i want to do this and people are like oh my god you just told me you destroyed my life's work i'm like relax no i'm just like let's make it better and i think that we don't do that enough because we're we're you know we we're we're we're either personally critical which isn't helpful or we don't give any criticism at all because we're too scared
