"The only people who should ride their bikes during the workday are bike messengers, who I also dislike. They weave, they bob—it’s inappropriate. Bike messengers need to do what drivers do: go straight, get pissed off, and hate everyone."

Physics can still make it into art exhibitions. I am glad that some people understand that science is a cultural (= human) endeavour which carries an intrinsic beauty in its expressions and insights.

It's Harrison Ford's birthday today, thus we are contractually obligated to point you to this ridiculous classic from our archives.

Lmao

I assume you're all as shocked as I am

Around equations 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 in Gibbons: "Game theory for applied economists" (taking Princeton's Econ 418 - Strategy and Information, with Dilip Abreu)

Seeing *societal* failure modes emerge mathematically out of rational *individual* behavior felt eye opening 🤯

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Niche gripe:

I think there are a lot of people who get good at something via a combination of natural talent and grind, who then grow up to write books about how anyone can do it using a few simple tricks.

Science and math people are especially guilty of this.

It is a common believe that neutrinos have no electric charge. But that is a question which has to be answered in experiment. There are indeed very strong constraints which are nevertheless often model dependent.
