"We humans long to be connected with our origins, so we create rituals. Science is another way to express this longing. It also connects us with our origins, and it too has its rituals and its commandments. Its only sacred truth is that there are no sacred truths. All assumptions must be critically examined. Arguments from authority are worthless. Whatever is inconsistent with the facts, no matter how fond of it we are, must be discarded or revised. Science is not perfect, it’s often misused, it’s only a tool, but it’s the best tool we have. Self-correcting, ever-changing, applicable to everything. With this tool we vanquish the impossible. With the methods of science we have begun to explore the cosmos." - Carl Sagan

So, as a lot of you may know from following me, I’m the founder of a flying club at my university.

The main goal of this flying club is to give aviation opportunities to people who would otherwise not be able to afford it/be involved. (We are also an engineering club and all of our engineering projects are working towards this same goal of accessibility of aviation).

We are doing fundraisers. This is a picture of some demo envelopes that me and my club members made out of expired sectional charts. We want to sell them in order to make money for our club (to be spent on our engineering projects and outreach projects).

What do you guys think? I have no idea how to price them, so if anyone has input on what THEY would pay for them I’d be happy to hear it.

Thanks!

as seen here in katherines and paper towns, you are very opinionated on subdivisions. what are your feelings about them and why?

I really hated subdivisions as a teenager because to me they represented sameness and the bloated, intellectually disengaged, wretchedly average 21st century America.

I felt like all these identical houses were architectural crimes committed against the land, and like we would pay for our crimes with these stretched out, sprawling cities that human beings of the future would see as proof of the insanity that accompanied our national prosperity.

Now I live in that very suburbia. So….yeah.

You know, many people think that mathematics is so complicated. This is wrong. Mathematics is an extremely simple approximation of the world. The world itself is more complicated than anything we can think of.
