Beavis and Butt-Head was created by the American animator Mike Judge. He graduated with a degree in physics but struggled to connect with his work in computer science.
Comedy writers are incredibly smart people. It takes real brains to make something of sufficient absurdity that still manages to make enough sense to be a valid cultural commentary. The smartest man in the king’s court is the jester.
my degree was in microbiology and chemistry but I needed to eat.
Why don’t you make a GMO bacteria that poops out blue meth?
well one its not so easy and even if you had a genetic sequence from something you could snip out and put in another thing you need equipment for that. if you ever saw youtube things where someone did something they generally were able to get access to a lab. I mean the things are not that hard to necessarily setup. you mainly just need glassware, incubators, fridge, centrifuge, burners, magnetic mixers, and autoclave. you really should have a hood though and that gets complex.
Sounds like promising venture.
I dunno about that, I think any of the hard sciences have a lot of crossover with computing. It generally rewards the curious, patient and methodical.
Maybe it was just the cultural fit? Silicon Valley is certainly keenly observed 😉
He didn’t struggle to connect his degrees to computer science. He did not enjoy his work (struggled to connect to it) and is why he started messing with animation.
Yes, Silicon Valley is partly inspired by his life experience. Office Space far more so.
I think I’ve read before that it was in fact the Silicon Valley environment that he disliked. Can’t blame him; it’s a toxic, incestuous little world.
He literally made the show Silicon Valley
The man can see the future, he is precious and must be protected at all costs.
Physics wasn’t gonna pay those student loans
College is a scam
I agree, college is a scam and nobody should go to college.
(I’m still sending my kids to college, what you think I want them to be poors? Lol)
