Happy New Month. As we enter August, I extend my warmest wishes for a month filled with renewed energy, meaningful progress, and continued success in all your endeavours. May the days ahead bring clarity of purpose, productive opportunities, and a sense of fulfilment in both professional and personal pursuits. I trust this new month will open doors to growth and positive experiences.

You don’t choose who you are meant to be. It’s revealed to you by life. Something it takes young people a long time to learn.

The most influential mathematician of his generation stands in a German lecture hall and explains a foundation he is rebuilding from scratch. Almost nobody watches it. This is Peter Scholze at Bielefeld University, November 2025, opening lecture of a new public series called Ars Mathematica. Scholze became a full professor at 24 and won the Fields Medal at 30. His work on perfectoid spaces reorganized entire areas of arithmetic geometry inside a decade. Condensed mathematics is his attempt to fix something deeper: the way analysis and algebra refuse to sit together properly. He is proposing new foundations for how mathematical objects carry topology. Watch how he pitches it to a general audience. No prerequisites assumed, no dilution, a working mathematician showing why abstraction opens rooms you could not otherwise enter. A researcher I know rewatched the middle section twice and said it was the first time condensed mathematics felt like an idea rather than a rumour. Free on YouTube from a university channel, subtitles on. Some people prove theorems. He is replacing the floor.

And that's fine because there is always going to be something to wonder about. Imagine it this way, if we figured out all of reality, it would be like completing a game, what would be left to do then? Create another reality that we don't yet understand?

But I doubt all problems can be modeled using a quantum algorithm either. So there are things that are just too big & out of reach given the practical limits on energy, information & materials availability. There is never going to be a genie to grant answers to all questions.

There are solution spaces no amount of intuition can help navigate. Such spaces are solved normally by chance after many years or may never be solved. The only way intelligence would really navigate such extremely large solution spaces would be to use quantum processes.

Intelligence can be seen as the strategic pruning of large solution spaces using various inexact heuristics or simplified rules to quickly home in on the areas containing potential solutions. Not all solution spaces are amenable to such an approach hence intelligence as limits.

@ChombaBupe Intelligence is basically a search, selection from available options. There are hard, long-known limits on the efficiency of search. No recursive improvement can find a "better" max of N numbers.

A lot of Nigerian Pidgin English is just Anglicized Portuguese.

the intellectual life varies in approach and methods but the aims are the same to make your own meaning

If confirmed, this will be the last piece of technology where China still depended on the West. The stock market has already lost about a trillion in capitalization.

It’s continually hilarious to me that William Blake already told everyone this centuries ago. “Conclusion. If it were not for the Poetic or Prophetic character the Philosophic & Experimental would soon be at the ratio of all things, & stand still unable to do other than repeat the same dull round over again. Therefore God becomes as we are, that we may be as he is.”

Yale University was established by Elihu Yale, who was a slave trader. Barclay's Bank financed the slave trade. Belgium's current Royal Family is related to King Leopold. For some reason, Africa is the only place where "the sins of your ancestors" is an impediment to progress.

This guy gets it. Capable Gov'ts can aggregate and redistribute surpluses. Businesses can't This redistribution of surpluses is what you see as roads, and other public works infra that make cities and states livable and viable. Private Cos can't #CivilizationalThinking

Ndi Igbo, Resilience and exceptionalism are valuable qualities in business. They help entrepreneurs adapt, innovate, and persevere despite difficult conditions like Nigeria. But, relying on those them alone can not give you the prosperity you are looking for. If the business environment is filled with poor infrastructure, inconsistent policies, poor access to credit, insecurity, or high operating costs, even highly resilient individuals will still struggle to grow. If Mr Okeke a very resilient businessman is doing 20%, with better governance he would be doing 80%. Your failure to acknowledge that government has to create an environment where businesses can thrive by reducing structural barriers, investing in infrastructure, and implementing sound policies remains a trauma response.

If your child learns math like this: 9 × 7 = 63 “just remember it” they will forget it. If they learn why numbers behave the way they do, they never forget. That was the philosophy of Kiselev’s Arithmetic. For 70+ years it defined arithmetic education in Russia.
