Polya teaching us a lesson

Mathematics, when "finished", consists of proofs, but mathematics in making is made of guesses. Polya demonstrates in a class how to make rational guesses.
In late February 2022, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company or TSMC announced that it would halt shipments to Russia per a new round of sanctions.
The TSMC halt ended shipments from fabless companies like Baikal, MCST, Yadro and STC Module. Intel and AMD have stopped their shipments to Russia as well.
In recent years, Russia has been looking to create their own supply of semiconductors. While there are some interesting domestic design successes, domestic capacity to manufacture those designs have been falling farther and farther behind.
We find ourselves living in strange times. In this video, we are going to do an overview of Russia's ever-worsening domestic semiconductor manufacturing industry.
Nothing lives that doesn't also die, an outcome guaranteed by the fundamental laws of nature that govern both energy and complexity. Civilizations, including our own, are no exception. As our strategy for energy capture fails and the sink costs of our furious growth catch up to us, we can reckon from first principles that we are already sliding down the backside of the entropy loop. Very soon, the present economic and social order will permanently fail.
But this is good news. We know from climate science that continuing our present course ensures the planet will be uninhabitable, maybe as soon as mid-century, certainly by century's end. And we know from recent history and the already unfolding crisis that this civilization is not capable of turning from that omnicidal course. Consequently, the time has come to embrace the collapse of industrial capitalism, indeed to celebrate it, and to turn with anticipation of a better life to the building of a post-industrial world. Our return to a level of energy consumption comparable to that of the 18th century will be a shock with grievous side effects, but it can also—if we choose—mean a return to community, to culture, to popular sovereignty, and to a livable pace of life with hope for the future of mankind.
It's time to enjoy the end of the world.

This was interesting although I am not sure if that simplistic view of social evolution would be supported by modern anthropology.

Polgár László has a book about educating your children into geniuses, it's available in Esperanto under the title Eduku geniulon!
Too bad it is always about kids, looks like I was condemned to remain an imbecile for the rest of my life.

"Choose what you want them to be geniuses at and start them at 3" is what I remember of it.

I wonder if something like this could help us "late bloomers"?

"late bloomers"
A quote from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations (http://classics.mit.edu/Antoninus/meditations.html):
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

"Nature Connection through Deliberate Attention and Curiosity" by John Muir Laws [00:15:45]

This is some naturalist guy who shares a pretty fun method to pay more attention to your environment.

The answer is no, it's an aspiration.
Time to go wild: George Monbiot

National Parks in the UK would be better called designated ecological disaster zones.
lets introduce all those random wild species into former forests as we plant a monoculture of trees, call it restoration of ecosystem, but don't change any of economic incentives that led to this situation and hope they magically don't do it again
so yuh jus gone waste your dubs quoting some quote another person quoted?
>>22
Who are you quoting? None of that is mentioned in the video. He points out that subsidies going to sheep herders have to stop. But the audience is people working at national parks, not politicians. Not sure where you got the thing about monocultures either. Did you even watch it?
speech is the only form of communication even though i'm using symbols on black mirror
