In this episode I discuss how math’s usefulness often comes from our gamified world rather than nature’s complexity, and why real learning depends on memory and abstraction. True progress, I argue, comes from raising levels of abstraction and operating at higher layers of thought rather than focusing on low-level tricks.

Complexity Answers Complexity: Merging Brains and Machines
In this episode I discuss recent research in merging the human brain with machines. This opens the door to reestablishing motor control in paralyzed individuals, and also raises the question as to how far this might go. Augmented memory? Increased processing power? Time will tell.
