. . Fate and Freedom as illustrated by Dickens in his story of Ebeneezer Scrooge. “Are these current events the shadows of things that Will be, or are they only shadows of the things that May be?” ennyman3.substack.com/p/fate…

study math. seriously.
not just to pass exams or solve equations, but to understand how the world actually works.
• algebra → learn to think in relationships, not just numbers
• geometry → understand space, shapes, and structure
• calculus → understand change, motion, and accumulation
• linear algebra → the foundation of robotics, graphics, and machine learning
• probability → learn to reason when nothing is certain
• differential equations → model how real systems behave over time
the beautiful thing about math is that everything connects.
the same equations that describe a pendulum can help you understand a robot. the same optimization principles show up in physics, economics, and machine learning.
and stop memorizing formulas without understanding where they come from.
derive them. visualize them. break them. rebuild them.
math isn’t about finding x.
it’s about developing a mind that can recognize patterns, understand systems, and solve problems you’ve never seen before.

Many good points here.
What I find remarkable about J.K. Rowling is that she has absolutely nothing to gain from speaking out.
She's financially secure, internationally successful and could quite comfortably spend the rest of her life avoiding controversy.
Yet she's chosen to endure years of extraordinary hostility because she believes women's rights are worth defending.
You don't have to agree with everything she says to recognise the courage that takes.
And surely we've reached a rather troubling point when defending the right to discuss biological sex, safeguarding and women's spaces requires courage at all.
Disagreement should be the beginning of a conversation, not grounds for destroying someone's reputation.

"We now count twice as many conflicts as 15 years ago. We are at 130 international and noninternational armed conflicts that we classify in our system. That’s the highest number since the Second World War." This should alarm us.
