The Russian Empire was weeks away from universal education in 1917. Then the revolution happened, and set it back by a decade. You were never told this. Here's what the numbers actually show. 🧵👇 By 1914, literacy was rising quickly. In cities it reached 60–70%, and among army recruits it exceeded 70–80%. Recruits were not an elite group, they came largely from the peasantry. If the army was receiving literate young men, it meant that education had already penetrated rural Russia.









🚨do you understand what just happened to mathematics.. A 23 year old with ZERO math degree opened ChatGPT on a Monday afternoon out of boredom. 80 minutes later - a 60-year-old unsolved problem was dead. The problem? World's top mathematicians had tried for decades. Failed.. The tool? A $20/month subscription.. The effort? One single prompt.. And here's the wild part - the AI used a method everyone already knew existed. Nobody just thought to apply it HERE. Terence Tao (literally the greatest living mathematician) called it "a meaningful contribution that goes well beyond solving this one problem" We are not ready for what's coming next..
