Growing up I was the only person in class with a different sounding name and cultural background. Sometimes it felt discouraging and I didn't feel seen. I still feel that way sometimes.

In a world gobbled up by AI, where more people have access to a mobile phone than safely managed sanitation, fallacies are everpresent. Knowing how to identify logical fallacies can sharpen your critical thinking and protect you from bad reasoning. #philsky #fallacies logicola.org/blog/informa...

When we decide to climb a hill without considering the neighbours, we risk spending time and energy building and iterating on low altitude. That’s the problem of the local maxima: When the peak of the hill we choose is considerably lower than the global maximum.
