Hello! Welcome to my website.
I'm a grad student in mathematics but I have lots of interests, from botany to philosophy to music theory. Sometimes I write about them. So grab a cup of coffee or tea and relax:
Check out my blog for some fun discussion and writings.
The archive is where I store my research, music, videos and assorted media.
Feel free to contact me if you ever want to talk!

Thoughts:
- It's quite funny how all italian last names tend to mean things like "fat" or "stupid" or "zit-faced" downstream of Roman nicknames. It's one of the more charming systems of naming.
- Any field that constantly produces "revolutionary insights" or "turns" every 5 years is probably not a progressive research program, in the sense of lakatos. Revolutionary insights in a progressive field of research happen, at the very most, once every 30 years.
- In a similar vain, the minimum cycle for social revolutions is probably on the order of 5,000 years, if not longer. We only have two, maybe three examples: the industrial revolution, the neolithic revolution, and arguably behavioral modernity. If someone is speaking of a new social revolution, chances are they're just downstream of the industrial. Just as the neolithic revolution has lots of sputters and is a long process that culimnates in what we think of the ancient world - we should also think of the industrial revolution as a long process whose social changes are far from complete.
