Let me say as a side note, I think that this pandemic challenged millions of educators to

rethink how they teach, to rethink the nature of education. As people know, Grant is a master

lucidator of mathematical concepts that may otherwise seem difficult or out of reach for students

and curious minds. But he's also an inspiration to teachers, researchers, and people who just

enjoy sharing knowledge, like me for what is worth. It's one thing to give a semester's worth

of multi-hour lectures. It's another to extract from those lectures the most important,

interesting, beautiful, and difficult concepts and present them in a way that makes everything

fall into place. That is the challenge that is worth taking on. My dream is to see more and more

of my colleagues at MIT and world experts across the world, someone their inner 3 Blue 1 Brown,

and create the canonical explainer videos on a topic that they know more than almost anyone

else in the world. I miss the political division, the economic pain, the psychological medical

toll of the virus, masterfully crafted educational content, feels like one of the beacons of hope

that we can hold on to. If you enjoy this thing, subscribe by YouTube, review it with 5,000
