We don't have to wait very long. A grownup (me) will quote me immediately!

Now that the wait is over what happens next? Does my H-index even matter?

Isn't the whole game of optimizing one's own H-index subject to Goodhart's law; or Campbell's law?

Play stupid games - win stupid (Nobel) prizes, I say.

Biology/human consciousness is the measure and the meaning of all things, so morality as a meaning is subjective; these subjective beliefs and sentiments in human consciousness create or concretize in the outside world, so that objects and systems might reflect upon their creator/s. These objects/structures and systems relate in the same way that the word is not the thing; they are symbolic references to the properties of the mind, or think of them as biological extensions that come out of the very nature of humanity.
