Science in Perspective
🌌 Science in Perspective
Science doesn’t end with the parts — it begins again at the patterns. Science in Perspective looks beyond reductionism to reveal how structures create meaning, how information flows through systems, and how universal principles connect physics, biology, mind, and society.
Each episode explores real scientific research but shifts the level of description to uncover the meta-level patterns that shape reality itself. This is science seen from above — integrative, rigorous, and alive with pattern.

Science in Perspective
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.
