    10 yo asked what age kids are the most difficult for parents. Told him newborns are the most overall load, but teenagers cause the highest spikes, because they have the highest ratio of power to judgment.

        Does their judgment stay flat as their power increases or does their power stay flat as their judgment worsens? I was the latter.

        Agreed. And 7-12 or so are really fun and awesome. But it's all great.

        hey @paulg a friend and I (we’re berkeley students) ran correlations on a govt dataset of college stats & hacked together a list of top colleges but ranked by depression, suicide, income, etc. It’s crazy to see it side by side w US News rankings. we’d love to show you more!

        Definition of ratio is problematic, frequently involves division by zero. Better to speak of residue at pole in the complex plan.
