Inability to understand reality will lead to the species' extinction. I guess that's indeed how it's supposed to work.

Yeah, but right now their location is in Fry's headquarters and their promised permanent location (that Fry was building) is far from finished.

I wonder what that means for the American Institute of Mathematics (

on: The scramble for sand is destroying the Mekong
I read somewhere recently that the melting of ice in Greenland is exposing vast quantities of sand. I am not sure if this will make a difference as transporting the sand would then be a problem.

on: Should I Resign from My Full Professor Job to Work Fulltime on Cocalc?
I'd say this is true. It wouldn't be UW nor at the same salary he currently has but, idk, Texas Tech, North Dakota State or some such place would think he would be a high profile catch at least in the next two or three years.
