in the past weeks, i've loosened my brain enough to ask, "wait, why is there an equals sign in reality?" i understand in math because it fits the axioms we made up. the ideal gas law is good at illustrating this, where PV = nRT. Importantly, pressure and volume are on one side, temperature on the other. is the equals sign kinda like symmetry? even if it's an imperfect fit, is that a helpful way to think? i cannot ever hope to be "right" about anything with regards to human discovery, but i can hope that i'm wrong in the right way. that is, leading others to discover the next thing. perhaps that is the greatest honor a human mind may achieve. but also remember to play frisbee and laugh until you cry, and cry until you're done and can resume laughing

saw John Malkovich with the Oregon Symphony last night. it occurs to me that he's straight-up using his notoriety to bolster the arts. the premise is he talks smack about classical music as they play, adding historical tidbits and real talk about the state of art and music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO59zM-Pv2Y
