Academic Chatter™

Writing is 20% typing, 80% trying to think of a better way to articulate something that has already been articulated perfectly well by someone else.

You’re on a game show with 3 doors. Behind one is a car, and behind the other two, goats.

You pick a door (Door 1). The host, who knows what’s behind each door, opens another door (Door 3) to reveal a goat.

Now you have a choice: Stick with Door 1, or switch to Door 2?

If you were forced to go back in time and pick a different subject to study, what would it be and why?
