I spent four years at CNLS as Guest Scientist and Affiliate.

 

I worked at LANL for more than a decade.   I think it is a unique organization that has a lot of great people.   If you want to find a prototype for your flawed person template, I’m a perfect fit.  Maybe even better than you suggest.

 

It didn’t bother me at all to help sharpen sticks when I believed in the cause of the national experiment.   I liked it, maybe I was even well-suited for it.   But, in 2016 I realized that an alarming demographic in this country simply do not deserve the protection afforded by sticks so sharp.   No significant loss to LANL, but I was comforted to see more than few colleagues that felt the same way.     I wish I could say I just quit, but it took a period of disillusionment mixed with other frustrations and opportunities.

 

Anyway, today I am glad to see Cory Booker drop out.   All this we-are-one is so much BS.
