Is the Universe a Simulation?
Photo Gray Matter By EDWARD FRENKEL IN Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita,” the protagonist, a writer, burns a manuscript in a moment of despair, only to find out later from the Devil that “manuscripts don’t burn.” While you might appreciate this romantic sentiment, there is of course no reason to think that it is true. Nikolai Gogol apparently burned the second volume of “Dead Souls,” and it has been lost forever. But there is one area of human endeavor that comes close to exemplifying the maxim “manuscripts don’t burn.” What kinds of things are mathematical entities and theorems, that they are knowable in this way? This question has divided thinkers for centuries. Many mathematicians, when pressed, admit to being Platonists. We don’t know. This may strike you as very unlikely. Very clever. Indeed, there may be. But these computer simulations, Professor Beane and his colleagues observe, generate slight but distinctive anomalies — certain kinds of asymmetries.

You have a few minutes to go before the bell goes, and you’ve managed to get everything done. What next? Teacher and #PedagooCurator Rachel Jones gives her top 20 tips on what to do with this time.

Dark Arts
17inShare Jump To Close We’re in a weird time for the way the future looks; somehow House of Cards can slyly introduce a floating text-message interface to their present-day political drama without so much as blinking, but most of our iconic near- and far-future worlds run on tracks laid down well before the ’90s. And it’s not just the recycling of every franchise from Star Trek to RoboCop: Avatar’s and Prometheus’ huge budgets couldn’t hide their indebtedness to the grandiose sci-fi storyboards of the ’70s. Which isn’t even to mention Oblivion. It’s an odd misalignment, considering that cyberpunk outran these operatic, alien worlds more than three decades ago. Save for a few exceptions — Neill Blomkamp’s biotech-heavy District 9, the straight-up horrifying Black Mirror — technophilic dystopias kind of fell off around the time of the last Matrix. Cyberpunk was assimilated, yes, but these days potent ideas go through a different process. He also happens to mention Otaku Gangsta.
20% Project Grading Rubric and Presentation | Writing the "American" Self
Grading Rubric I will grade your 20% projects in terms of three broad categories. (1) Framing: It will be important to frame your project within concepts and genres of autobiography (RA will be a handy tool for your once again here). If you are making a cookbook, embodiment seems like an important concept. Each project will reflect either on one’s own autobiographical self, or the autobiographical self of some other person, place or thing. (2) Presentation, ~6 minutes (more details below): It will be important to present your topic successfully for your various audiences. (3) Effort: This category includes both creative/intellectual effort and good old fashioned labor. Online Presentation: You should all by now have “tagged” your 20% projects using precisely that tag (“20% Project.” As many of your projects have changed since their initial conception, you should over-write / re-write your original 20% post. Also, please be sure to include a record of your work at the very end.
Learning Opportunity: Private Schools with Public Purpose | The Puzzle
It is a truth universally acknowledged among our client schools that strong relationships and thoughtful collaboration enhance learning. Schools from all corners of the country that serve various student types in various settings embrace this idea, and they strive to cultivate learners who work well together, who are open to and accepting of the perspectives and ideas of others, and who are committed to giving back to their respective communities. The importance of relationships transcends school models and student types, transcends location, and even transcends school type: private, public, or charter. When constituents from these various school types (that can sometimes feel, in the national dialogue, that they are at odds with one another) work together and learn from one another, all students can benefit. At CS&A, we have the privilege of working with over 1,500 private, independent, charter, and international schools across the country and worldwide.
The Sugar Daddy Scholarship
Elliot is 45, gainfully employed, lonesome, and looking for a pretty young college girl to spend money on. Ideally he would serve as her benefactor and mentor; she would express gratitude through sexual favors. At the very least she’d accompany him to dinner on a Saturday night and, if she understood the arrangement, give him a peek of those lace knickers he bought her. If all went well between the sheets, he’d even offer to pay her college tuition. Elliot is fictional, but there are more than two million men like him registered as “sugar daddies” on the dating website SeekingArrangement, many of whom are seeking out cash-strapped college students. "Women hold 60 percent of bachelor degrees and drop out at a lower rate because they are less discouraged by financial burden compared to men," according to promotional material from SeekingArrangement. But Wade is trying to upend what he sees as the myths of sugar daddydom.
