Dr. @hishamzerriffi is my best friend and he had THIS EXACT CONVERSATION with me about a decade ago (-ish).

Dr. Elinor Ostrom and Dr. Vincent Ostrom were the two brightest minds I ever met, and they were also the nicest. And while we are all busy, I& #39;m always here if people need to talk, particularly about quitting.
