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.

Constructing linear and exponential functions from graph | Algebra II | Khan Academy

The graphs of the linear function ( f(x) = mx + b ) and the exponential function ( g(x) = a \cdot r^x ) where ( r > 0 ) pass through the points ((-1, 9)) and ((1, 1)). So this very clearly is the linear function; it is a line right over here, and this …

Debris | Vocabulary | Khan Academy

Oh hello, word Smith! You’ve caught me at a bit of an awkward time. You see, I’ve just survived a storm at sea; there was a shipwreck, and I clung to a piece of debris like a barnacle. I floated ashore like a bug on a twig. I’ve got to do a word, don’t I…

What Everyone Gets Wrong About Planes

(brooding music) Most plane doors aren’t locked. There are no keys, no sensors, or passcodes to secure them. If someone wants to pull the lever, they can. A man opened the emergency exit door and forced his way off the plane. And yet with 40 million flig…

Regrouping whole number place values | Math | 4th grade | Khan Academy

Five thousands equals how many hundreds? There’s probably a few ways we could take this on, but maybe let’s start by thinking about these five thousands. Five thousands is one thousand five times, so let’s think about each of those thousands. Each of thos…

Simulations and repetition | Intro to CS - Python | Khan Academy

I’m running a coin flip experiment and I want to find out how likely each outcome is: heads or tails. So I flip a coin once, twice, 100 times. Once I’ve repeated that experiment enough times, I see that about 50% of my flips are heads and 50% are tails. …
