I have quite a number of years invested in academia. This doesn't mean I know everything - it means I've learned how to learn. So, if there's something y'all want to know about, I'm happy to learn more about it myself and see if I can encourage others to spend some time learning.

I'm running low on time, which means I'll have less time to spend on busy sites like Voat - but I'll have time to deal with slower moving sites and topics.

I absolutely don't know everything. That's not why I went to school. I pursued higher education to learn how to learn.

My specialty is applied mathematics (pure math is just masturbation and applied math gets shit done). But, I'm fairly fluent in the other hard sciences (with a preference for physics). So, I'd be happy to learn along with you should it be a topic I'm not well versed in.

Like I said, they'd end up being mostly slow-moving threads. Maybe we pick a subject each week and hash it out on a Sunday afternoon? I'm pretty old and there's a ton of stuff I don't know. There won't be a tomorrow, so I might as well learn it today.

I'd prefer to leave it to the hard sciences and mathematics. Those are my preferred subjects. I do a weekly guitar thread on Voat - but a weekly science or math thread might be kind of fun.

Thoughts?

So much has changed since my time in academia. I've tried to keep up and am sorta fluent in quantum physics. I love me some particles. So, that's definitely a great idea.

I'm going to leave this stickied for now and see if I am able to actually get some stuff organized. They'll be slow threads (I assume). My garden goes into the ground in about a month and that's going to limit my free time - which is already being spoken for.

But, I want to see your site get off the ground. So, if I am able to help get a few ideas going then maybe they will help fill it with content that people can find educational. There's a whole lot of room for me to learn more.

One of the best ways to ensure you truly understand something is to try explaining it to someone who knows nothing about the subject. We can learn it together! ;-)
