I crossed an interesting threshold yesterday, which I think many other mathematicians have been crossing recently as well. In the middle of trying to prove a result, I identified a statement that looked true and that would, if true, be useful to me. 1/3

The UK is a great country with an extraordinary history. Our stagnation is real, but it's fixable and worth fixing. Enjoyed giving this talk at @lfg_uk last week and so encouraged by the optimistic responses I've had from people who are building a brilliant future for Britain ๐

New Post: What does the makeup of the UK's elite mean for how the state and economy operates? I loved Dan Wang's new book, and tried to understand if the UK is, as he calls the US, a lawyerly society.

The experience has also unlocked the patriot in me. I sense a growing set of talented people are starting to commit their careers to ensuring that whatever they work on is in some way a service to attempting to revive the UK. I know that I will try to do the same.
