I intend on having a fruitful, storied academic career before suddenly going mad. I then would abandon everything and live on a mountain, making jam by day and writing insane ramblings on a variety of topics that nobody cares about. Eventually I'd like to graduate to becoming one of those yogis that wanders around the Himalayas butt-naked in the snow, but that might be thinking too far into the future.
- mnw21cam 4y agoI'm going to second this one. A physics professor friend who taught me electronics when I was a kid is now "retired", as in still coming in to the university several days a week, but only to do the interesting things they want to, rather than needing to because their boss says so. One of the perks of academia. You can retire, but prevent boredom.

- ourmandave 4y agoInsane tenured professor, I like it. Before going completely off the rails your last couple of years will be co-publishing papers with ChatGPT and getting listed as 2nd author.
