It's like -- we're in a world where science and expertise is ignored. Where "intellectual" is a dirty word. And to hear something like that... to hear someone put it like that... a lot of us get disillusioned. People think we're just... these goons in beekeeper suits. These jokers. But that... that made us feel like we matter. Like what we do matters.
