It's interesting you mentioned Anathem. I have often fantasized about living in a Math and working on theorics myself :-)
I retired early from software development last year to spend more time studying math and cognitive science.

It's often cold and wet (an outdoor job) and often menial (someone has to clean the projectile poop) and I'm a newbie where the young people are my mentors. And I don't get paid (the previous 30 years are funding this). But the experience, on a summer evening, in the rolling countryside, of a Peregrine Falcon diving at 100mph and hurtling right past you is unbeatable.
- giantg2 6y agoI got to witness a peregrine once. That was pretty cool.

- giantg2 6y agoI know, some people have it good and "never work a day in their life". I would probably write software when I retire, but it would be personal projects.
