disagree. you should crack jokes in seminars if you feel like it. a good laugh breaks through a string of dull talks. even if it has a small professional cost, don't let the killjoys who would exact it grind you down. have fun in your life

it’s crazy that some classic books have dozens of english translations. you’d think that after the second or third try they’d figure it out
