    Exactly, just walk up to him and punch him in the face. I’m quite certain that’s acceptable “mentoring”.

    Because white guy smugness is super charming and earned when it’s some tenured hack whose good idea was inspired by Steely Dan.

    I remember when I was a postdoc. I was much smarter than all the PI’s.

    Then I got older and became a professor. All of a sudden I became dumber. What happened?

    Yeah, srsly, WHERE’S THE PASSION?

    But without white guy postdocs, who would nod in agreement during seminars by famous old white guys to indicate the high level of mind-to-mind communication happening between them?

    And whose ass-smoochery would make the famous old white guy feel un-threatened after the seminar when all he can see around him are lady scientists and Asian scientists?
