"Progress, like evolution, must be neither too slow nor too fast. Too slow means extinction from lack of adaptation. Too fast prevents retaining the benefits of past improvements, hence, again, extinction." - Nassim Taleb

Remote work is not a distraction. It's a chance to concentrate.

Government workers were 28% more productive on days when supervisors assigned them tasks to do at home, because they were more focused.

The office is good for interaction, but it's not always ideal for deep work.

A peaceful journey to the asymptote of mathematical heaven, William Smith. Your legacy endures, much like the infinite nature of mathematics itself. Thank you for making its complexities understandable to so many of us. 🕊️✨💫

I used to program our VCR to tape his Lessons while I was in school. He got me through some difficult concepts. May his life and dedication to #Education serve as an example of how to go about in bringing +ve change to Ed System and our country. #WilliamSmith

@elonmusk You are conditionally correct. Part of what you are not considering is the influence of the “strong” to what can be considered “right”.

I call them imaginary lines that have come to define not only who we are but also how we relate to one another. The combination or separation or any discipline should be to benefit of knowledge advancement.
