sciencenote asked: hi , you have an intresting blog , i was impressed by your last post keep up the good work :)
Thanks for liking the blog!
Yesterday I gave a 30 minute talk to students and faculty on the topic: “What Matters to Me and Why”.
My talk was about leaving Lawrenceville, Societal Labels, Growing Up Gay, Accepting who you are, Understanding Privilege and working to better the lives of others.
If you’re interested in reading it, I’ve linked to the text.

We all feel it, the unpleasant feeling that comes from sitting too long. Add some rough terrains and welcome to hemorrhoid hell. If you’re looking for ultimate comfort on your bike, or a*s, you need to add suspension to the wheels themselves. Loopwheels ($775) replaces the spokes with a spring system, cushioning you from bumps and potholes. Save your derrière now.
clever.

The purpose of education should be to teach children how to think and discover things for themselves, not what to think or directly tell them outcomes.

The purpose of education is to bring a child beyond the strains of socio-economic issues to a level where he/she can obtain anything.

Troubling Statistics Show Lack Of Diversity At Supreme Court -
WASHINGTON — In roughly 75 hours of arguments at the Supreme Court since October, only one African-American lawyer appeared before the justices, and for just over 11 minutes. The numbers were marginally better for Hispanic lawyers.
Cloud Atlas got me thinking about something that’s happened to me a few times before.
I wrote this to a friend of mine last year in an attempt to explain what I felt when I first met her:
Do you ever meet someone new for the first time and think; “I feel like I know this person” or “wow this person looks familiar but I’ve never met them before.”
Did you know that the principles of quantum physics do not prohibit time to move only in one direction? In fact it is a deep scientific/philosophical question that those on the edge of science are working hard to figure out: if the laws of physics don’t prohibit it, why do we only experience time as forward movement. Why is time never experienced in reverse.
This is why it makes sense to me that we might have those moments where we meet people and they make super-sense to us. Our memory, I think, is only partially bound by that forward motion of time. Without realizing it we often pick up on “potential memories” or neural connections that are destined to be made (or have already been made the other way around). A strong memory that’s developed over many years is subtly accessible in hints and interests even before we navigate the experiences which cement that memory in space and time.
So then I saw Cloud Atlas and was like: hot damn!
In conclusion: we have no idea. About anything.
Seriously.
Can we just admit it?
did you?
good (perhaps rhetorical) question.
