Juan (they/ and occasionally he)

Feynman once walked into the math department at Caltech & challenged the mathematicians to a duel. He asked them to name any theorem, no matter how complex, & promised he could explain it using common sense & basic physics. They gave him the Banach-Tarski Paradox (which says you can cut a ball into pieces & reassemble them into 2 identical balls). Feynman looked at it & dismissed it because no such material exists in nature. To him, if the math did not describe an asset in the real world, it was just accounting fluff :))

The anti-billionaire socialist movement is endorsing the billionaire who is trying to buy the election

We spend 66% of our money on social welfare and education. 8% goes to the military. 9% goes to paying interest on the debt incurred by funding the 66%.

🚨 All high schoolers in Boston are now guaranteed a summer internship if they want one.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
