Origami, science, love

Something to come back to when I get a little free time (2022 by my best estimates right now)

Origami, science, love. The coolest article, in the Times, about origami and science and (subtly) the love of a son and a dad..

and visit this, Erik Demaine's origami site at MIT..

and here for an introduction to paper folding and cutting as a deep tradition..

Valuing specialist knowledge

While this has been true and will likely continue to be so, it's also cause for concern. To be a specialist in anything implies we are at best generalists in most everything else. If we don't learn to value and appreciate specialist knowledge that we don't have, we will continue to be at the mercy of those who can best pretend to expertise.

"The only people who value your specialist knowledge are the ones who already have it."
