Science in Perspective
🌌 Science in Perspective
Science in Perspective examines scientific work by changing the level of description. Instead of isolating parts, it looks at how structure, information, and constraints give rise to behavior across systems.
Each episode starts from real research and asks what patterns remain when the details are stripped away. The focus is not on results alone, but on the organizing principles that recur across physics, biology, cognition, and social systems.

Fast Math Doesn’t Equal Deep Intelligence
In this episode I discuss how math’s usefulness often comes from our gamified world rather than nature’s complexity, and why real learning depends on memory and abstraction. True progress, I argue, comes from raising levels of abstraction and operating at higher layers of thought rather than focusing on low-level tricks.
