Episode notes
Tayler Nowak has A Beautiful Mind that is full of words, not math equations.
In this episode, Lizzi and Tayler cover career cobwebs*, writing to think, and building worlds that don't exist yet — all before diving into the debate Lizzi's been sitting on since the first part of their conversation. What follows is a volleying exploration of hard science versus soft science, where the humanities actually belong, and why even astrophysics is, at its core, an art and a science.
Also: how a trip to the arcade seeing Ataris and pinball machines in action led to the invention of Apple’s Lisa Mouse.
*Also also: career lattice is the term we meant but could not remember in the moment!
That's a wrap on Season 1 of Technical Rigor! Don’t worry, we’ll see you this fall for Season 2!!
