When something is going through exponential growth, even in the early stages, most people completely underestimate how quickly things are going to change, even when the exponential growth has been going on for quite a while. Some humans are really bad at understanding math.
Shea and I have been showing the kids a lot of our favourite movies from when we were growing up – “Dirty Dancing” to “Adventures in Babysitting” to “Airplane!” – movies that both of us remember being allowed to watch by our parents at relatively young ages with no censorship or restrictions (*maybe* I’d […]
I posted this song in June 2019 with only a brief reference to the controversy around the song’s contents which evoke incest and rape.
