"I just finished reading your 'Science'. Both the papers in it and the publication itself are full of interesting ideas..."
Their conversation swiftly drifted from teaching philosophy to academia.

In an instant, his voice became distant and full of meaning.
"I've always believed that arrogance and conspiracy are not enemies."
