  @iyaz akhtar it’s completely irrelevant to hear how he loves ferrofluid and this and that about his personal hobbies, it’s the same when we hear about sigmund freud’s personal life when learning psychology, it’s COMPLETELY irrelevant, not only is freud outdated, but it shows lack of focus on teaching
