Yesterday I got an email from Edward Norton, asking if he could host a fundraiser for the scientist in Tuesday’s story. I said: ‘Of course Edward Norton. Also, you were awesome in Birdman. Also, let’s hang out.’
I’ve rarely been shaken by a story more than the scientist’s. His life had been so tragic, but throughout the entire interview, he kept returning to his desire to help mankind. He didn’t want to die before making a contribution to humanity, and he felt that he was running out of time. While listening to him, I kept imagining how difficult it would be for him to focus on any sort of research while starting a new life in America. Despite his lofty accomplishments, he might have to take whatever job (or two) he could get just to keep up with rent. Hopefully this fundraiser will change that, insuring that he can focus his amazing mind on his dream of changing the world.
