The reason that math is hard for most is the same reason that math is easy for some.

When people say "just lose weight" or "just be in a calorie deficit" they don't understand the psychology of food.

Understanding emotional hunger:

We're going to need a lot more mathematicians!

When we stop force-feeding our minds, we have the opportunity to digest and detoxify. We should also be careful about the quality of information we consume. A bad diet is bad for you in more ways than one.

Knowledge is always progressing. Don’t let your ego fool you. You are always knowledge’s inferior.

Jensen Huang: "No matter what your dreams are, you're going to get punched in the face at some point."

[Michael Dell 🇺🇸 @MichaelDell]

Focus on what you can control.

Build something. Anything.

A product. Yourself. A family. Your community. A team. Relationships.

Or help someone else build theirs.

Don’t complain. Don’t play the victim.

Ever.

What are you building?

Sir Roger Penrose just delivered a masterclass in physical skepticism.

In this sharp exchange with Brian Cox, he dismantles the dangerous allure of mathematical aestheticism. We often fall into the trap of assuming that if an equation is beautiful, it must be true.

But Sir Roger warns that "beauty is a misleading guide." String Theory, for all its intricate Calabi-Yau manifolds and vibrant 11-dimensional symmetries, remains an elegant mathematical construct yet to be anchored by empirical data.

It’s a sobering reminder: the universe is under no obligation to conform to our human standards of "pretty" math. Reality is gritty, and sometimes the truth lies in the most "unattractive" corners of entropy.

AI can give researchers the freedom to pursue “crazier” ideas.

For Terence Tao, AI creates more room to experiment, test unexpected paths, and discover what might otherwise stay out of reach.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Freedom isn't free.

So true

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Here's my conversation with Norman Ohler, a historian and author of "Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich," a book that investigates the role of psychoactive drugs, particularly stimulants such as methamphetamine, in the military history of World War II. It is a book that two legendary historians Ian Kershaw and Antony Beevor give very high praise to for its depth of research. This was a fascinating conversation.

It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).
