This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Aimless frolicking sounds like a great deal to me.
Imagine how fit everyone would be if we could spend all day frolicking about instead of being at a desk 8+ hours a day.
Imagine all the science we could do if scientists didn't have to worry about funding to stay alive.
We would have a much better world to live in, and scientists wouldn't be pressured to only study things that can be immediately monetized.
Have you ever heard of orphan diseases? They're conditions that are so rare that it's not profitable to research them and find cures/treatment because the population of people who need it is so small.
Some countries counter this by using government funding to research rare diseases but the progress is much slower since the funding is limited.
An intellectual exercises his mind primarily, his body is well served by half an hour.
Why not do both? Listen to educational podcasts while frolicking freely?
