I'm really looking forward to this project, it looks to be quite an impressive one that breaks the mold of other UT designs. With all that funding from Exxon Mobile, I wonder if they'll offer a Masters in Climate Change Denial. I've been watching a lot of long videos on YT lately about various fossil fuel topics, and I've decided that I want to be reborn in the 1940s as a petroleum geologist. It's a fascinating area of research, highly lucrative, and by now I'd be retired and would have the luxury of being a climate activist who freely admits to having helped oil companies find new resources to exploit. After all, without oil we wouldn't have about 90% of everything we're accustomed to in our modern lives. I find it endlessly fascinating that life always hands us a massive side dish of new problems with every new solution we find. It makes things interesting, keeps us on our toes, and continually pushes us toward further advances.
