alright just for fun: AMA but only about math, will attempt to speed-explain stuff with as few symbols and equations as possible and see what happens
(esp happy to field questions about stuff that seems basic to you and that you feel like you should've gotten a long time ago!)

i have a longstanding goal of trying to understand statistical mechanics which i've made a little progress on recently. it feels good to get an actual sense of how macroscopic stuff emerges out of microscopic physics

Oooh nice! Since I like to come at things from an information-theoretic perspective, this is something I find pretty profound too. Stat mech makes statistics interesting
