I've had people say that I'm a fence sitter and that I need to have some sort of call to action. I guess like if there's anything that I would respond to that with, um, given the opportunity we have now, it's like I think we need to take a step back and re-envision what we want the next 20 or 30 years to look like.

There's an important verse that painted the mind: a Pharisee asked Jesus, "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" And Jesus replied, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"

Like, as simple as that is, if we could just find a way to make those two commandments, even outside of religious boundaries, if we could learn to make that our priority, and then base our differences below that, you know? Like, God is here, our love for each other here, and then below that is trying to find a way to integrate our differences in a way that everyone can live a better life.

The Lightest Solid on Earth (You won’t believe this exists)

We’re told here is a graph of a segment of f of x is equal to x. That’s this here, and then they say h of x is equal to 1⁄3 * f of x minus 5. Graph h. So think about how you would approach this before we do this together. All right, now I’m going to do t…

The Absurdity of Detecting Gravitational Waves

1.3 billion years ago in a galaxy far, far away, two black holes merged. As they violently spiraled into each other, they created traveling distortions in the fabric of space-time: gravitational waves. In the last tenth of a second, the energy released in…
