/sci/ - Science & Math

personally i think you have to walk a long ways down the "selfish" path to be able to give back. to actually have something to contribute. but that begs the question... is it really selfish if it is a necessary step in the process of philanthropy/altruism/anti-cancer?

as a side note, science is only a map of the current consensus of our understanding of the universe. it can only take you so far, then you have to go alone, some places can only be understood through personal experience (currently). ex: god, truth, death, etc.
going where no man has gone before will surely allow one to bring back a wealth to share. ya dig?
