I am becoming increasingly convinced that the best part of a PhD is the summer before you start it, when you get to tell everyone you’re doing a PhD and they’re all like “oh that’s so cool” but you don’t have to actually do any of the PhD yet.

if word in macro classes is to be believed -- that innovation, human capital investment, and knowledge drive econ growth -- it's worth asking: how much innovation are we missing out on by limiting access to who gets to do it?
