I have loved math since I was a child, but it was not until I started teaching that I realized how challenging—and rewarding—it can be. I'm glad that some students have found it helpful along the way.

Why do dictators target the socially isolated?
📢 New theory by @ksonin.bsky.social:
Propaganda works best when people are either totally atomized or tightly unified rather than in between.
🎯 Optimal strategy? Don’t focus on influencers. Target the fringes of the network.

Hundreds of books have been written about India's resilient caste system.
But if you read on Mauritius, Malaysia or the UK, caste weakens very rapidly among the diaspora, perhaps within two generations.
Migration's transformative power is hugely under-appreciated.

In India, people tend to depend on their jati, which can collectively gain status through female seclusion. This enables strict policing & arranged marriages.
But caste breaks down with migration, enabling female employment & love marriages.
