I agree.

We should appoint all people to all jobs, iff and only iff they absolutely hate them.

People should live where they would rather not, and marriage partners should be assigned randomly.

Children should be adopted out as soon as born.

Best friends should be selected by lot.

Then there would be peace in the world!

Or maybe war right quick..

Also as an important addendum to the above trivial litany of impractical advice, mathematicians should have to justify their trade to a committee of hairdressers, extolling the virtues of pure math research vis a vis its usefulness to the average man in the practical world.

I double dog dare them to get license to practice math by that means.

I think the National Enquirer is right. The use of public funds to finance some inane biologists desire to investigate the sex hormones of teenage bats is a disgrace. They actually paid some psychologist to look at the social acceptability and pro forma institutionalization of prostitution in Peruvian village culture. Some paid vacation that must have been. They could at least have made the study in Cleveland and saved the plane fare.
