It gets, you know, things get richer.

What I want to say is that

Again, from experience, I have 45 years of experience of working in this field, which have been fascinating.

I mentioned to you in the email, there's extra benefits to this field.

I think the community is amazing, not just that it has so many brilliant minds.

Young, brilliant minds are entering the field all the time, but it's also...

very lively and interactive and collaborative.

Many of my best friends are also colleagues, so it's fantastic.

But the theoretical understanding of many things that we

maybe ask ourselves for aesthetical reasons that are mathematical, that we generalize something for generalization's sake, which may not have a counterpart in industry.

In fact, Shaw's work on quantum algorithms, you can say,

Why do that?

There are no quantum computers.

Maybe let's wait till somebody builds one and we understand why.

So no, the answer is no.

You should try to understand whatever is natural for you to understand.

has already, maybe it was not clear 40 years ago, but certainly clear now, that lots of theoretical understanding is not just productions of mathematical results, but because it is about computation,

it is meaningful and often enough or whatever in the real world.

And there are many, many other examples besides crypto and quantum and coding theory and the field of evolution and coding theory mainly because of the PCP theorem, tools needed for.

So there are lots of examples and this eventually went into systems.
