Evidence must be part of all our decisions.
Remote work is not a distraction. It's a chance to concentrate. Government workers were 28% more productive on days when supervisors assigned them tasks to do at home, because they were more focused. The office is good for interaction, but it's not always ideal for deep work.

A peaceful journey to the asymptote of mathematical heaven, William Smith. Your legacy endures, much like the infinite nature of mathematics itself. Thank you for making its complexities understandable to so many of us. 🕊️✨💫

I call them imaginary lines that have come to define not only who we are but also how we relate to one another. The combination or separation or any discipline should be to benefit of knowledge advancement.

The hallmark of an open mind is refusing to let your ideas become your identity. If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity. If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.
