Sav, you did a good job....I am really happy to see young talented people being real PIONEERS.

Apparently Canada has lots of talented youth, like you or Curt Jaimungal

Thank you for this!

In reading about the Mandelbrot fractal I discovered a presumed error, can anyone confirm?

From the transcript: "It's basically a series that is being tested for complex numbers in the complex number plane for every point. And for those [points] where the series is diverging you paint it black and where it's converging you don't."

This should be the other way around: for every point where the series is converging you paint it black.

Who cares right, and maybe the color is pretty arbitrary anyway! :P

Thank you!

And yup, you're right. Good catch! I updated to make it more consistent with the picture I have up there 😅

Very good article Sav, covers the whole range of topics and gives some directions if the reader wishes to pursue things further. From your blog I can see that you are interested in conciusness and sensemaking. May I recommend a book (if you have not seen it already ) from Julian Jaynes:

'The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind', it will shed more light on 'What is conciusness?' subject. Good work, keep it up!

Thank you, means a lot! And thanks for the book recommendation - I haven't heard of it, but it looks right up my alley. I hope to get around to it sometime soon!
