Whatever your opinion of tech, it does one invaluable thing I’ve never learned any version of from liberal arts education: a visceral sense of exponential regimes. The closer you’ve worked to semiconductors, the deeper this exponential literacy gets.

Words fail on exponential regimes. Numbers and log scales are your only friends. Exponential regimes lack words the way outer space lacks an atmosphere to breathe in. Innumeracy is death.

I have never seen so many math-avoiders do so much math in such a short period. That’s a small silver lining here. People are doing at least basic arithmetic. Some are even learning about log scales 😱

Westworld: - We are in the middle of a war. And I need your help to win it. - Seems fairly idyllic for wartime. - No one knows it's happened yet. Or that it's already been lost. It is disheartening when people don't get an exponential process :(
