Maturing intuitions

As a guest lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, 2017.

I reopened this blog to reflect on the four-legged table that is researching/teaching:

• To guess (based on informed or naïve intuition).
• To be excited (to not knowing what could happen throughout the long path towards discovery/sharing).
• To be frustrated (because that intuition led to nowhere or to redundancy), and
• To keep on wondering (resign yourself to perpetual learning).

Some of the upcoming ideas would contain all of the above, while others would be purely at the to guess stage.

As a minor note, I’m not an English-native. Still, as it was inconceivable for a wonderer not to speak Latin while traveling across the Roman Empire, now it is the same for English while slowly passing through the Republic of Knowledge.
