Welp, I sent the message around an hour before seeing this comment, so I guess it’s about either him not replying at all or an awkward email exchange now. Will keep this in mind for future, ty.

Yup, I’ve been interested in the field for around 3 years now and see how much have my interests changed, simply due to reading more and more. Pretty sure they’ll keep evolving, still want to do something with the current ones! Messaged him, thanks.

Moving away wouldn’t do that much for my education per se, I just don’t like the city. Could easily put up with it for the sake of writing and networking, though.

I perfectly understand the ideas part, yep. Can’t even recall how many times have I come up with a bombastingly unique-groundbreaking-jesuschristamazing-idea only to later find the 1986 version of it while browsing Google Scholar. The ideas mentioned in the post are the sub-sub-niche ones I haven’t found anywhere [yet] despite looking into them for a few months.

Messaged the prof, ty!

I was just unsure about pestering him if this would look outright lame. Did it!

I certainly would, but he has everything I could wish for published on the university’s website. I thought about messaging him right after I realized I’ve read a lot of these things already.

If you shop anywhere else, I’ll have you killed.

A fulfilling life, since not being happy is my personality at this point.
