Ice cream

On a rainy afternoon in the university cafeteria four academics sit down for a conversation..

Robert Nozick: You know, the state of liberty is derived from the state of nature.

John Nash: Hmm, yes and economics is not a zero sum game.

Richard Dawkins: Altruism an Cooperation flow from selfish genes.

Stephen Hawking: The earth is not a closed system.

I overhear and think; our rights are derived from sunlight.

I need some icecream.
