Posts in the works

without comments

I have a number of posts in the works, all of which include varying numbers of \LaTeX-formatted equations. As soon as I figure out how to get them working, they shall be posted. They serve a fairly trivial purpose to the posts, but I still consider them fairly essential to the proceedings.

If anyone’s reading this who can help with inserting limit equations, or can point me to a list of which functions can be used with WordPress’ built-in \LaTeX capability, then I would be grateful for any assistance.

Why societies collapse

without comments

My history is rather bare now, and previously felt rather intellectually monochromatic, so in order to pad my archives by leeching off genuine contributors bring some diversity of thought to the blog, I have decided to start featuring videos that inspire me.

Today, it’s Jared Diamond talking to TED about why societies collapse.

Let’s see if I can’t come up with anything intelligent to say about this in the next few days.
