*want*

20.020, while a very interesting class, turns out to not include any bench work. All the biological design we do is theoretical, and everything we actually work with will be non-biological. E.g. the first day we did a paper airplane design exercise for team-building, and tomorrow we're going to take apart tape recorders. For the record, as trivial

Some *wants* must be satisfied.

I guess he means if you "want" to do something badly, you should go for it.

Oh, the "labs" in your typical science classes are not much like the bench work I'm talking about. Let's learn a bunch of procedures that we probably won't ever use again in our lives, and struggle with stupid old apparatus, all in a pathetic attempt to illustrate the concepts we've been learning and apply the scientific method to stuff that's been known for decades at least!

No, I'm talking about science science. But *grin* I know what you mean.

Theoretical mathematics?! Computer science?
