A great take from Feynman: “Somebody says, ‘You know, you people always say that space is continuous. How do you know when you get to a small enough dimension that there really are enough points in between, that it isn’t just a lot of dots separated by little distances?’ Or they say,

Going to give this website a try - with a new profile picture! Definitely feels like an econ bubble, but I guess that’s the point.
Expect a thread on my newest work, Malthusian Migrations (with @romainwacziarg.bsky.social), soon! 🚨
