Adhering to one belief means being skeptical of some other beliefs. Those with the strongest beliefs must be the greatest skeptics.

I can never predict what subject my father will set blandly before me. “I think the Peace Corps is a fine thing, don’t you?” he said. “Well,” I replied, “it’s certainly better than the War Corps.” —Oliver Barrett III tries to get his son to think about the future.

@scievision369 "build a perfect equilateral triangle on each of its three sides pointing outward…" The green and purple triangles in the drawing are not equilateral, although the algebra treats them as equilateral and is correct.

Napoleon's Theorem ✍️ Napoleon's Theorem states something which is almost unbelievable... take any triangle, no matter how odd or uneven, build a perfect equilateral triangle on each of its three sides pointing outward, find the center of each of those equilateral triangles, connect those three centers, and you will always get a perfect equilateral triangle. This is true every time, without exception, regardless of the shape of the original triangle. The original can be nearly flat like a sliver, tall and thin like a spike, or wildly uneven with no redeeming features. It does not matter. Perfect order emerges from complete disorder every single time. The theorem is named after Napoleon Bonaparte, though historians have debated for two centuries whether he actually discovered it or if it just became linked to him through legend. Either way, it has carried his name since the early nineteenth century and remains one of the most celebrated results in elementary geometry. The diagram shows the original triangle in blue with corners A, B, and C. The three equilateral triangles built on its sides are shown in red, green, and purple, and the centers of those triangles are labeled D, E, and F. When connected, they always form a perfect equilateral triangle. The reason it works involves the sixty degree (60°) angle that all equilateral triangles share. When you build equilateral triangles on all three sides of any original triangle, those sixty degree angles interact with the original triangle's angles in a self correcting way. Too much unevenness on one side gets compensated by the construction on another side, so the three centers always end up arranged in perfect equality. You can also build the equilateral triangles pointing inward instead of outward, creating a second smaller Napoleon triangle sitting inside the original, which is also always perfectly equilateral. The difference in area between the outer and inner Napoleon triangles always equals exactly the area of the original triangle. This is yet another hidden gem of perfect order found even in the most chaotic starting shape.

I'm a lawyer and the range of intellectual ability among lawyers is massive. Even among judges it's pretty huge. I think academics just don't evaluate each other's work as often or as critically.
Megan Stevenson@MeganTStevenson

This is what makes me doubt the idea of “IQ” as a meaningful construct. I work in elite academia and honestly don’t see a lot of variation in raw intellectual horsepower, either among academics or in comparing academics to non-academics. 1/
