It is 2023. #Expectation: 10yo posts homework question, "Help me derive the Reimann manifold for a human being" #reality: Despair at the fact that large swathes of population cannot perform basic mathematical operations or agree upon standard notations like BODMAS.

Ah! The throwback to childhood spent reading and re-reading Sagan's Cosmos. Immediately reminded me of the Drosophila experiment mentioned in the chapter "One Voice in the Cosmic Fugue". Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence, which still fits Occam's Razor.
