today's (well-known) trick in category theory: the pasting law for pullbacks works in two directions, i.e. if the right square below is a pb then the left square is a pb *if and only if* the pasting is
in other words: drawing the pb corner on the right isn't ambiguous notation

it's a common misconception that math has no real world applications, in fact it has application in worlds over every field of field of characteristic zero

Debunking can be a fun way to find an audience in science communication, but I think it can be over-relied on.
We should be celebrating more than we are defending, not just because it’s less miserable, but also because it’s good marketing!

in hindsight, it was pretty obvious that a polynomial is solvable when its Galois group is solvable, it's right there in the name

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies...

big supporter of this theory of why billionaires are descending in madness
megawealth is a curse! you become acutely aware of the needs you have that cannot be satisfied through material means AND you are socially ill-positioned to be in a place where you can experience authentic human connection because everyone around you has every incentive to lie to you!
it is *wild* how a primary effect of unspendable wealth can be making someone incomprehensibly thin-skinned
