STEM =/= science. The STEM explosion I'm referring to is the big push there's been since I was a teenager to rush high schoolers and young adults into, "hard science" programs in the hope that expanding scientific l

I'm going to go around these things all day screaming, "help, rape!" It's like that old prank where you order pizzas to someone's house that didn't order them. That's how we used to fight against the man.

I'm with you pal. As a humanities guy I feel like 80-90% of what you need to know to live as an effective modern human being you can learn from Socrates, Aristotle, and Thucydides. Socrates for being a good man himself being a secular

These visualizations are beautiful. I'm a musician at heart so I really geek out about bifurcation maps. You get to see the exquisite relationship between chaos and form. It's like nature and math producing visual jazz. Thanks for
