The artistic and the mathematical mind are not so far apart.
Five men, immersed in conversation, sit indoors on a blanket, eating from metal bowls. Despite the cloud of ignorance surrounding them about modern science, they share stories and laughter as a red bowl rests prominently at their center.
If we wish to tackle the very real problems society faces, we require expert-level knowledge. Valuing it starts earlier than we realize.

We need to fully acknowledge problems, while vigorously pursuing solutions. Call it “solutionism.”
An athlete skillfully executes the Fosbury Flop, soaring gracefully in mid-air over the high jump bar, while colorful flags flutter and spectators watch in awe.
The story of how the world high jump record was smashed in 1968 contains golden lessons for business and innovation.
A grayscale image captures the moon's surface, featuring numerous craters of varying sizes. The scene is reminiscent of a lunar Grand Canyon, with a highlighted spot drawing the viewer's attention.
Our Moon is full of craters, basins, and ancient lava flows. But two large lunar Grand Canyons have the same origin: a single, giant impact.
