What a bunch of faggots you all are. If you could have become something but didn't, you are truly useless. If you had that potential but won't put forth the effort, you're useless. I don't care if you want to 'live a humble life,' the world still needs scientists and if you have the potential you should really just fucking use it. The world is still young, humans even younger. Just help the human race if you aren't a bobble-head moron.

One of the most legendary scientists of our era was someone bound to a wheelchair, eternally suffering in his mind before he became the man he was when he died. He helped create a better world, and then there are these assholes towards the top saying shit like

Don't try to make me feel guilty for being what I am. No man should be made to feel ashamed of his shortcomings, as he would obviously elect to exist without them had he the choice. You are too cruel even for 4chan. I believe in all of these faggots even now, always wondering who among them will be the one to save us all.

OP's pic has a degree in international relations and interned for Ted Kennedy. Then had a wage slave service job until someone thought she would make a good figurehead.

Instead of pressing her connections from the internship and going into the state department. Worming around for a diplomatic position, and then a SES executive job.
