Why does this thread always turn into "This or That?" (that is my question for the next poster)

1. internet people are too lazy to type a full on answer
2. simplifies things, who wants to read essays that aren't about themselves?

that being said...

what is your take on the geopolitical climate of 2009 vs. 1999?

It seems like it's just a big fad now. Way too overrated.

What is your position on the role of government in supporting innovation in the field of biotechnology?
(Free thanks for the "right" answer;))

In any field, including biotechnology, its been shown that what works best is a joint approach--public and private. There are some neoconservatives and (fake) libertarians around that argue that research should be private only--but frankly, that's utter nonsense. Much of our technology is drawn from what is learned from military research--and we'd simply be idiots not to take advantage of the commercial/peaceful applications.

The general model that has proven to work best is a "network" that includes basic research (largely in universities or related research facilities), much of which is government-funded. That is linked to private interests (corporations, for-profit research centers, start-ups,etc) who take basic technology and develop it into useable products--and inn turn put money back into more basic research.

The way this works is a good bit more complicated--but that's hw "Silicon Valley" works--and the same kind of organizational model/network has deliberately been developed in the biotechnology field.

As to whether we "should" do it this way--that's a value judgement. But this public/private system is what works best in producing a high level of innovation--and if we want the US to remain a world leader in technology and economic progress, that's how we have to do it.

If you were the opposite sex, would you date yourself?

Hahahaha close! But the answer I was looking for is:

Recent research has shown the empirical evidence for globalization of corporate innovation is very limited. And as a corollary, the market for technologies is shrinking.

As a world leader, it is important for America to provide systematic research grants for our scientists. I believe there will always be a need for us to have a well-articulated innovation policy with emphasis on human resource development. Thank you.

As for dating myself, hell yeah!

Do you remember your first crush?

lol old school! you forgot "what happend?? i blacked out!"

to your question : yep, she's funny looking now.

what is your favourite movie and why?

One of my favourite movies is Stand By Me because it takes me back to when I was younger and just the whole bros vibe about it. Good life lessons in it.

Why are manhole covers round?

Probably because they're heavy fuckers, and you wouldnt want to move them around just to fit them into a square hole:p

Is there something in life that you deeply regret?

My answer was ok no? I thought it was a pretty good answer imo.

As for: Is there something in life that you deeply regret?

yea, for selling a condo to early

^ and do you have a question for the next person?


why are there so many inconsiderate/dumb people out there these days?

Shitty parenting and social acceptance and tolerance to idiocy.


If you could live anywhere, where would it be?


BTW I thought manhole covers were round so they couldn't fall in. :confused:

The manhole question I asked, was asked of me in a job interview. I think that its purpose was to see how creative you are and what kind of imagination you have.

As for your question, I would want to live in Australia or Swedan. Reason being? They get ranked high on various different polls for living standards and best places to live.

What motivates you?

Hahaha I guess you haven't seen the movie Old School.

Do I get the job?:p

I'd say mostly materialistic goods. Go through school to get a better job, better job for better money, better money for better cars:D

What's the stupidest thing you've done?

I was buying some new jeans at underground the other day. I tried on a pair in the change room, but felt that the pockets might be kinda tight so I put my wallet in the pocket just to test it out. The jeans seemed to tight overall so i took em off, changed back in to my old clothes, and put the jeans back on the shop shelf with my wallet still in the pocket. And left the shop. Happened 4 days ago, went back to the store today and got my wallet back, phew (had like $525 in cash in it, there was $5 missin, wtf)

What you gonna be for Halloween?

Probably wear a Domo-kun hat/box (its a box over my head, that is colored/cut/pasted into looking like domo-kun)


Any plans for 2010? aka Olympics
