> Embrace your baldness, stop trying to “fix” it and focus on solving the real problems in the world.

I'm reminded of a spot-on comment by Gene Roddenberry:

> At a press conference about Star Trek: The Next Generation, a reporter asked Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry about casting Patrick Stewart, commenting that "Surely by the 24th century, they would have found a cure for male pattern baldness." Gene Roddenberry had the perfect response.

> "No, by the 24th century, no one will care."
