Living The Red Life
How a Math PhD Is Fixing Education

I know what you mean.

Living The Red Life
How a Math PhD Is Fixing Education

Yeah, man.

Living The Red Life

But I do tend to look at the world from a more philosophical view.

Living The Red Life
How a Math PhD Is Fixing Education

So I try to look at what are the definitions of the words?

Living The Red Life

What are the implications of all of it?

Living The Red Life
How a Math PhD Is Fixing Education

Are we matching the definitions?

Living The Red Life

And that actually does create a lot of peace and calm in my life because the vagueness of the words is where I found that things become more emotionally charged is if you don't

You know, like again, children are learning the words through inference.

Yeah, I mean...

Living The Red Life
How a Math PhD Is Fixing Education

I think a lot of the things that we're engineering... Oh, yeah.

Living The Red Life

And the math is not really happening so much in the numbers as it's happening in the ideas, per se.

Living The Red Life
How a Math PhD Is Fixing Education

But that's where the challenge is, is that before you can get to that level...

Living The Red Life

of the mathematics that you have to have that basic understanding to build on top of to get there, to be able to pull out some of the magic, like the AI that's happening for the, or like building a bridge, right?

Like we know this is not going to fall down because the physics of it's
