I doubt I even know what really matters to me anymore, so I can just hope to venture back into the world again with wide eyes.

And maintaining this equilibrium isn’t just for my own sake. I want myself to be the most important thing so it can also, simultaneously and paradoxically, become the least important thing.

Over the past eight years, one thing that’s different is that I take longer breaks. I’ll sometimes go months without writing, which is not something I used to do. I used to write every day. I still take a lot of notes, but I think I allow myself more time to be receptive to the world, as opposed to always worrying about saying something. I think it’s very much a poet’s novel, which means it’s basically—a woman stands out in a field thinking about other times she stood out in a field. And I think a lot of my energy when living in the city was going towards the performance of being human. That idea of “Hello! Look, I got dressed today. Ta-da!”

Speaking to another respectable flesh and blood person forces you to think more clearly.

I sent a couple tweets into the aether yesterday after not putting anything out on Twitter for about a month. Maybe it was because I’d just worked out and endorphins were careening through my...

I've had a lot of conversations with students lately that start with disclaimers like "I'm sorry, I'm not really good at math, so..." and since it's not so easy to give a pep talk in-person with the whole pandemic and everything, I thought I'd give the pep talk here. (Just keep in mind that I'm not a very good mathematician, so... KIDDING! I'm a perfectly capable mathematician!) ^-- If you felt like you wanted more about being stuck, click some of these --v - Ben Orlin has a conversation with Andrew Wiles, one of the GOATs of mathematics, about being stuck: https://mathwithbaddrawings.com/2017/09/20/the-state-of-being-stuck/ - Kate Poirier asks students to reflect on belonging in mathematics: https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/poiriermat1575fall2020/2020/10/23/assignment-are-you-bad-at-math-really/

Understanding requires effortful engagement; you are not likely to draw much understanding from a folder of barely-skimmed PDFs.

25th of March, 2021. Part of the Topos Institute Colloquium. ----- Abstract: The climate crisis is part of a bigger transformation in which humanity realizes that the Earth is a finite system and that no physical quantity can grow exponentially forever. This transformation may affect mathematics — and be affected by it — just as dramatically as the agricultural and industrial revolutions did. After a review of the problems, we discuss how mathematicians can help make this transformation a bit easier, and some ways in which mathematics may change.

silence’s grammar Embodied presence also liberates us from the need to prematurely reach for explanations and solutions — for an answer. If I can only speak, then the use of words will require me to search for sense. Silence can contemplate the mysterious, the absurd, and the act of grace, but words must search for reasons and solutions.

I’ve never dreamed big enough. You know what happens when you’re too scared to dream big? Or when the circumstances of your life limit your imagination? By the time someone finally asks you what you want, you have no idea how to answer that question. You have to practice knowing what you want, just like you have to practice anything else. Can you describe your wildest dreams to someone else? Can you even describe them to yourself? Practice now. Why not?

We’re so busy tracking completion — how many miles run, books read, calories burned, cities visited — that we forget to remember a project’s value in the first place.

Look for me In the people I’ve known Or loved, And if you cannot give me away, At least let me live on in your eyes And not your mind.

Neurobiology sometimes seem so reductive. Do you worry about that?

Are there any famous/notable mathematicians who have their own YouTube channel? I found this amazing video regarding the book. The YouTube channel name is The Math Sorcerer, but I don't know what ...

But I think we need to make a conscious effort to realize: every time is different. Even if you put the same effort in and make the same decisions, the world, the people in it, and you, have all changed. What worked before, might not work now. The idea that failed before, well — maybe its day has come.

Reaching the moderate summit, they dug a hole in the snow for Yotto to play a dj set in. Frozen fingers, technical difficulties and lost drones did not slow down the brave expedition.

This is how I used to do most of my writing: out in public, in the midst of things. I’d forgotten how much I missed it. ​ We imagine offices and classrooms and weddings, the casual tenderness with which we’ll interact. I think Peterson is right. It will take some time to move past what we’ve just gone through. Move past we will. I already am, giddy to be with others. And yet: I’d argue that some elements of our grief should stick with us.

I'll go over all the layers that I've been able to debug in myself. …I think that perfectionism is mostly a thin veil hiding a multitude of insecurities, fears, and logical fallacies. And it’s something we need to face.

There is forever an unknown world within the known, forever more to uncover, and here is a creature dedicated to finding the cracks in reality. We would do well to learn from him, to cultivate seeing. Each script is barely consequential on its own, but in aggregate, the familiar grooves made by them pile up, and we forget how to see. and one must always be conscious when handling maps. It is easy to mistake them for all there is. All summaries are compression, and learning to see means looking for the valuable things that are lost in compression. Prosperity is found in seeking the asymmetries in a world that is forever being painted with artificial symmetry.
