There’s a small girl in the hood who comes down to watch me gear up 🏍️ in the mornings and asks me the all sorts of questions from entry level “why don’t planes fall out of the sky / why do ships not sink” to profound “what size of shoes does God wear / how tall is he”

The scoundrels that tell us SHA is working not only get their treatments and medication abroad, they also have their own, special, different cover. You just think about that the next time you’re being lectured by those mythomaniacs

Watching some 3 chaps next to each other sweeping leaves and cleaning State House Avenue. (Quick, do they sweep and clean roads where you are?) What I am finding laughably tragic is that they gather all the leaves and dirt into a gunny sack and then periodically go to the side of the road and dump whatever they have swept up there, ready to be returned to the road by wind, rain, and gravity. What is the point of this @SakajaJohnson

@gitts Some AI retouching has taken place on the face, but that rack, I can confirm, is the real deal!

Is expecting to be great at everything you do something you ought to be thinking though? 🧐

Jeff Bezos on the exact moment he realized he would never be a great physicist: "I wanted to be a theoretical physicist. I went to Princeton. I was a really good student, I got A-pluses on almost everything. I was in the honors physics track, which starts with 100 students and by quantum mechanics it's down to 30." Then came the homework problem: "I can't solve this partial differential equation. It's really, really hard. I've been studying with my roommate Joe, who was also really good at math. The two of us worked on this one problem for three hours and got nowhere." They decided to visit Yasantha, the smartest guy at Princeton: "He was Sri Lankan. In the Facebook, which was an actual paper book at that time, his name was three lines long. I guess in Sri Lanka when you do something good for the king, they give you an extra syllable on your name. The most humble, wonderful guy." Jeff continues: "We show him the problem. He stares at it for a while and says, 'Cosine.' I'm like, 'What do you mean?' He says, 'That's the answer.' I said, 'That's the answer?' He said, 'Yeah, let me show you.' He sits us down, writes out three pages of detailed algebra, everything crosses out, and the answer is cosine." Jeff asked if he solved it in his head: "He said, 'No, that would be impossible. Three years ago I solved a very similar problem and I was able to map this problem onto that one. Then it was immediately obvious the answer was cosine.'" Jeff reflects: "That was an important moment for me. Because that was the very moment I realized I was never going to be a great theoretical physicist."
