    The world needs more "badassitude" -- the state of knowing you're right because you did the required research to justify it.

        @neiltyson I disagree. Those who teach with a sense of humility (Carl Sagan) reach more people, thus creating more teaching opportunities.

        @Synnovea I agree with your disagreement -- as applied to teachers. But the confidence of knowing as the student is unmatched.

        @neiltyson "badassitude" is remarkably hard to fund, publish or commercialize... Even though it is really exhilarating.
