Hah, was planning on linking to Nicky Case[0], but of course that's exactly who's behind this! :D

Very exciting project. We're absolutely leaving "leaving money on the table" by not leveraging the full power of the brain for education and reasoning about complex systems. See also: Bret Victor's "Ladder of Abstraction" [1], and Kevin Simler's "Going Critical" [2].

Hadn’t heard of Case yet, but Bret Victor is an absolute visionary. His talks “Media for Thinking the Unthinkable” [1] and “The Humane Representation of Thought” [2] are eye-openers!

Nicky Case does incredible work. She should be a poster child for Patreon, through which I believe she makes most of her living. https://www.patreon.com/ncase
