And a technology that is giving people with disabilities more freedom than ever before!

Disabled learners don’t lack intuition. We just build it differently.
And that different perspective? It’s not a limitation—it’s a strength.
Let’s rethink what “intuitive learning” really means.
Because there are many ways to reach understanding—and every one of them counts

So despite being good at maths, I never felt why base ten was “natural.” Because for me, it wasn’t.
It’s such a perfect example of how “common sense” in learning often rests on physical experience—and how that experience isn’t universal.

Today, while reading a computer science book, I found the answer:
👉 We use base ten because humans have ten fingers.
It seems obvious now. But here’s the twist: I’ve never counted on my fingers. Ever.
As someone with a physical disability, finger-counting just wasn’t how I learned numbers.

I’ve always wondered: why do we use base ten in maths? Wouldn’t a base like eight be more efficient? It has more factors, after all! Today, while reading a computer science book, I found the answer:

What happens when we let frontier models rewrite the “truth” based on the values of a few labs? As Elon Musk recently suggested: “We will use Grok 3.5... to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge.”
This is more than a technical question. It’s a societal one.

Felicity Hammond’s “V3: Model Collapse” draws striking parallels between geological mining and data mining—asking what happens when AI-generated images are reinserted into it. How does the machine interpret this feedback loop? And can it be corrupted by its own outputs?

Imagine my surprise when Perplexity AI cited my very own talk at the Royal Institution on the anatomy of a particle detector I gave last year. When you've been cited by an AI, you know you've made it, right?

Thank you, Paul. There is a lot more I wish to say in that vain, so I hope that this will be the start of the conversation. How are you? I am looking forward to getting back to the documentary soon.
