Leo, what has been your favorite “to-the-death” activity thus far? I feel there has to be a workshop-to-the-death somewhere in that hotel.

LEO: I think maybe Magnus was right about talking about the past… I’m not sure I’m ready to do that yet, but thinking about it and doing things that remind me of my old life, it feels like progress. prev ask (also about activities!)

I can't really bring myself to draw at the moment, so here are some of the MLC W.I.P.s and sketches that I've had sitting around, abandoned and otherwise, because I miss these guys.

In an ethics seminar class, professor keeps interrupting people in the middle of their sentences to interject her own opinion (usually disagreeing about semantics or word choice) before they finish expressing their thought.

Same professor: Why are you all so silent? Why are you not talking?

It's also a class whose stated purpose is to help students get more used to speaking English in an academic setting, so randomly jumping down students' throats about their word choice (precarity vs precariousness got a six minute lecture and the guy never got to finish his thought about climate change) seems kind of cruel.

Not to out myself as a liberal arts college student, but I miss my contemporary queer storytelling class. We just got to sit in a circle and discuss queer theory and text analysis with nuance and everyone having read peer-reviewed sources. It was beautiful.

I need that kind of enrichment for my enclosure without veering into “discourse”

[itstimeforstarwars]

My local community college is like "you don't necessarily need a degree for everything! We offer certificates for working adults that get you just the necessary classes so you can level up in the workplace!" And im like so can i get a spanish certificate? And they're like "no! Only spanish degree!" And im like ok. what is necessary for the spanish degree. And they are like "you need 51 credits in assorted random classes. And then 9 credits of spanish."

Like. Come on man.

So Many Roads

At the height of COVID, I drove a gentleman from a nearby university to the Indianapolis airport. Many of my most interesting rides have happened this way. The trip takes roughly an hour, so when they are willing to talk, I get to hear from some of the most fascinating people I’ve ever knowingly crossed paths with. It’s like a free course or a private lecture given by the brightest minds on a myriad of topics.

This particular man had been visiting a relative, and was on his way back home, which happen to be on the East Coast. As we began conversing, it came out that he had recently returned from or was about to leave for an overseas speaking engagement. Intrigued, I began asking questions regarding the kind of work he did. The man explained to me that he was an economist, as well as an author. At some point he had relayed to me the title of his most recent book, so when he got out of my car, I was able to google him thoroughly. His resume was far more impressive than he let on. Not only had he penned many books, but he was also a world-leading expert in his field, frequently traveling the globe to give lectures. He had served as a speechwriter to multiple US presidents and was affiliated as a fellow with an Ivy League school. His accomplishments and activities went on and on, but I considered those the highlights. Except for one other…

Not long after he got in my car, the man asked about good places to go for a run in the area. As we discussed my preferred locations, and running as an activity in general, he threw out what I considered to be an impressive amount of mileage that he regularly logged. That might not sound like anything out of the ordinary or some major accomplishment, but did I mention he was in his 80’s?

As I spend a ton of time in my car each day, one of the most common things I see is people running, jogging or walking. They are my heroes. Few other things make me smile like that does, especially when I’m fighting what feels like the worst of humanity on the road. We all know how hard it is to run. It sucks. In the end it may benefit us mentally and physically, but in the meantime it hurts. It’s also time-consuming. Especially if you travel to different locations because you don’t want to stare at the same scenery every time. Psychologically that matters. Just to set aside the time, get yourself prepared and then take that first step towards hundreds more is a major accomplishment. It really is. I’m proud of every one of those people I see doing it every day, and I wish I could tell each of them. I do in my head as I drive by.

I try to run every other day, but just like everyone else, it’s a struggle. When I do, I refuse to listen to music or podcasts because I consider that time alone with myself imperative. There are always going to be distractions and noise, so why not take the time to acknowledge your thoughts when you have an opportunity to do so? Often, for me, those thoughts revolve around how much running hurts. Whether it’s the limitations my aging body is imposing on me or the elements I’m fighting at that moment, it’s hard not to dwell on them when they are staring you in the face. Generally, however, those thoughts prove to be beneficial.

Aside from time, one of my greatest adversaries when I run is the wind. This happens about a quarter of the time, and inevitably will play out the same. About a mile into my run, once the initial adrenaline has worn off, I’ll realize how much harder I’m working when I go in a certain direction. I’ll acknowledge that it’s the wind and then fight myself on seeking a route that spares me the struggle. After convincing myself that the extra difficulty will benefit me in the long run, I embrace it and hunker down. Then, either because I have too much time to think or because I’m looking for something to distract me from the wind’s brutal attack, I find myself revisiting the situation as a metaphor. I say revisiting because it’s the same thought every time.

Running itself is perhaps the most apt metaphor I’ve found for life in general. It sounds cliché, I know, but it’s true. As you take your first steps, you start off slow until you can build speed and momentum. Once you’ve found a comfortable pace, you settle in and maintain it with a specific goal or goals in mind. You’re going to face challenges along the way. Plenty of times I’ve finished what were supposed to be otherwise uneventful and routine runs bloody, bruised, overheated, frozen or before my intended destination. I never foresaw or expected any of those outcomes. As you get near the end of the run, you are infinitely more tired than you were when you started. You then finish either by attaining your objective, or by being forced out prematurely. Pretty emblematic of life if you ask me.

I get almost angry at first when I realize I’m running into the wind. It feels like I’m wasting energy and that my progress is stalling, but when I allow myself to stop and think about it, I become almost grateful. I will come out of it stronger. I’m still getting my mileage in, but my muscles are being given an extra challenge that will result in greater strength going forward. My mind is also being trained. Trained to face adversity with the knowledge that it’s ultimately beneficial and that I can accomplish more than I intend or hope by braving the storm. The same can be said for running uphill or in the rain. Some of the best races of my youth came in such conditions. Were it not for the wind, rain or elevation and the prior experience I had with them, I would not have performed as well as I did, advancing to the next course in the process. And the next course is important to me. The next course is where we get new scenery. The next course is where we learn new things about ourselves and our abilities.

So if you run. Or jog. Or walk. I’m proud of you. I know it isn’t easy. But it’s more than just whatever your initial goal was, and I hope that not only do you achieve that goal, but that you make it to the next course as well.

[july-19th-club]

some desperate glory is so America In Space (derogatory; intentional) that it does sometimes feel, during reading, like it's leaning a little heavy-handedly into the 'this is what american imperialism or american fundamentalism could look like in the rest of the universe. its Bad!'. like it almost seems way too obvious. but then i think about the average sixty-year-old military scifi reader - the kind of guy who would be likely to pick this book up at work and check it out - and i know for a fact that reading the word "enby" in the book would just be another scifi word to him like he's not reading it thinking 'ah, these are common gender terms', he's reading it thinking 'ah, the author has invented a neutral term for genders? maybe? maybe it's a type of alien?' like he doesn't know. and so whenever i as a spec fic reader who's thirty and online a lot and runs in very leftist circles see a review of a book that accuses it of spoonfeeding its readers very basic and obvious concepts i think about xkcd average familiarity. and quartz of course

Science education should be mandatory in university education

In my view, the prosperity of IT in India and China is superficial. It all boils down to the absence of any Fields Medal winners in the mathematics that underlies computers in these two countries.

When I told a Japanese blog friend about this, he replied, "No, Indians have produced presidents of MS and Google, and SEs who graduated from Indian Institutes of Technology are highly paid." However, I had written to him in advance as a premise that "India is inferior mathematically, not in terms of economic success," but he ignored it.

So I compared Ramanujan, a leading mathematician from India, and Galois from France, and wrote that there was a huge gap between the two in their achievements, and that Ramanujan was far inferior. He didn't listen to the logic, moved on to other problems, and fled.

He is a graduate of the private Keio University, which is said to be an excellent university in Japan, and is a liberal arts major. As a common practice of this kind of student, they only trust what they hear and their ears, and do not try to think for themselves. Such graduates will only cause harm to the world.

Science courses should definitely be included in university education. A liberal arts-only education is 'harmful and useless'.

Rei Morishita

大学教育は、理科系教育を必須とすべし

私は、インド、中国のITの隆盛は、表面的なものだと見ている。コンピュータの基礎になる数学において、この両国にはフィールズ賞受賞者が皆無であることがすべてを語っている。

さて私は日本のブログ友に、この話をしたが、「いや、インド人はMSやグーグルの社長を輩出し、インドの工科大学卒業のSEは高給取りだ」と返した。もっとも、私は前提として「経済的な成功ではなく、数学的に見て、インドが劣っている」と彼には予め書いたのだが、彼は無視した。

そこで私はインドの代表的な数学者：ラマヌジャンと、フランスのガロアを比較し、両者はその業績において雲泥の差があり、ラマヌジャンがはるかに劣る、と書いた。彼はその論理に耳を貸さず、別の問題にすり替えて、逃げまわった。

彼は、日本では優秀な大学と言われる私立の慶応大学の卒業生で、文科系である。この種の学生の通弊として、聞いたこと、耳のみ信用し、自分の頭で考えようとはしない。こんな卒業生は、世の中に害悪を流すだけである。

大学教育には、理科系の教程を、必ず組み込むべきであろう。文科系だけの教養は、「有害無益」だ。

My College Courses

In this post, I’ve typed up my full list of college courses organized by Smith’s seven major fields of knowledge (used for Latin Honors). You can also check out my courses page to see them organized by semester. 

As an engineering and computer science double major, it was unsurprising that my top categories were Mathematics and Analytical Philosophy {M} and Natual Science {N}. In fact, two-thirds of my credits (120/179) carried either the {M} or the {N} designation. Note that my three UMass computer science courses (marked with asterixis) weren’t technically assigned Latin Honors designations, but I’ve categorized them with an {M} as nearly all Smith computer science majors hold that designation. 

While the vast majority of my courses were for one of both of my majors, I am proud to say that I took a total of 50 credits that were completely outside of both majors. Over the course of my time at Smith, I took courses from 13-16 different departments. The exact number depends on if you count psychology or not as I took a course cross-listed between both philosophy and psychology. Furthermore, FYS (first-year seminars) and IDP (inter/extradepartmental) courses fall outside of the set departments so are tricky to count. 

Next to each category, I’ve included a percentage that measures the percentage of my credits earned for the given category. Note that the percentages don’t actually sum to 100% as six of my courses held two distinct designations. I’ve marked these courses using the caret and inverted caret symbols.

[rinielelrandir]

So I went to a liberal arts college. More specifically a liberal arts college that didn't just have gen ed requirements for STEM majors but required us to take an interdisciplinary studies course as part of them and to attend cultural events hosted outside of class time as well. And our gen eds were fairly extensive - 4 humanities classes from at least 3 different disciplines, 2 social sciences classes in different disciplines, 3 semesters of a foreign language, a freshman seminar class (intended to teach you how to write & study at a college level), a fine arts class or participation in band, orchestra, or choir for multiple semesters, and the aforementioned interdisciplinary course. And folks outside STEM had to take at least one science and one math course. It was a *very* comprehensive education and incredibly well rounded and I choose this school in part for that program, for that opportunity and requirment that I take classes outside my biology degree. It was worth the extensive student debt to me.

And lemme tell you so damn many of my peers who willingly went to this very same school absolutely phoned it in on their classes outside their major. Picked the easiest ones. Picked only classes that could boost their resume or chances of getting into med school. Could not for the life of them understand why I was taking upper level history, literature, and psychology classes to fulfill my general studies classes and as electives. Because despite attending a school with the same philosophy of thought I did, despite in some cases even taking the same freshman seminar on "History of Science" that I did, they *still* viewed the humanities and social sciences as "soft" and a waste of their time. Because up until college they had spent their whole lives being told it was and that mentality is hard to break and not all of them had the benefit of being a hard-headed autistic with a wide variety of interests who was determined to pursue them come hell or high water.

[conspiracyofcrazy]

I teach a weird class at my local college. It's required and the requirements for the course keep shifting. I accidentally renamed it in a meeting last summer. It's kind of a bonkers situation. It doesn't help that I was hired to teach literature and now it's mostly writing - if I have a weakness in my specialty, it's being objective about someone else's comma placements.

So, the reading list is bizarre and I make them go to two extracurricular events on campus - which changes every semester and there is no hint about what they will be until the week before classes start - and make them write THREE papers with "I" statements. One is an opinion piece, one is an insight piece, and one is a self-reflective research paper. I'm a monster.

It's complicated and multimedia and I ask them a lot of questions hoping that some of them will actually think about what they really think and why. At the end of the semester, I always doubt myself and what I'm doing. It's never the same each semester and I always feel like it's getting worse.

And then I got this:

It's five pages of tying together our readings, our discussions, an event I didn't even assign - they went of their own volition! I'm done. I can quit.

I am legit keeping this forever and reading it every time I feel inadequate.
