  • Going beyond the crosswalk

    I ain’t no scholar but I think I recall one of my more schooled friends talking about Tolstoy’s knack for making the everyday strange. Boyer’s exploration of intersections of all dimensions is deeply engaging.

    This latest season on Burning Man is a great trip.

    I am curious as to what intersection will be explored next season.

    My two cents: Newtonian world view VS Quantum Field Theory
