So drugs? I think it's a lot simpler than that. US has an abusive relationship with junk/processed food. It's so deeply ingrained due to profit margins, wealth inequities, nonsensical subsidies, etc. that the only feasible so

Giving the benefit of the doubt, art can be enjoyed in many forms, not just visual... It's definitely a choice of words though. That said, I do agree with the sentiment that people should "experience" art. But yeah, they did

Most people would likely not engage with that commentary simply because they don't enjoy the same celebrity status as Tao. Yet, I think those voices are equally important to be heard. Terence isn't the only PhD/professional u

There is any number of people discussing o1 from the context of their field. So again, why are we valuing one set of discussions above another? Terence Tao may be great, but he's not the end all, be all of commentary. There's plen

I don't understand why this is news? This could have been said by any one particular contributor from HackerNews but just because it's from Terence Tao it hits the front page? I understand that the guy is a great mathematician, bu

And yet being able to practice that failure while in the classroom is all but outright disincentivized. I completely agree with the interview... but educational currents do not have the space for the type of failure that helps one become a
