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.

In this episode, I talk about the phenomenon of dark electrons in exotic materials, how they emerge from hidden states of matter, and why they may play a central role in superconductivity. I also explore the broader idea that much of nature operates in ways that remain hidden from our usual scientific tools.
