👸🏻 “A resort should be relaxing”

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 “From favorite numbers to numbers that we’re suspicious of”

“In this short, writer Alex Bellos tells Robert how, from the very first time humans ever used numbers, we couldn’t help but give them human-like qualities. Our feelings for these digits may all come down to some serious, subconscious inner-math….a deeply human arithmetic buried in our heart.”

⏭ “All physicians are taught, “First do no harm.”

“But what happens when a doctor does harm his patients? Dr. Robert Henderson was a veteran spinal surgeon in Dallas when he got an unusual phone call from a local hospital: a new surgeon had operated so poorly that a patient who’d walked in on her own two feet now couldn’t even wiggle her toes. The surgery was so bad, in fact, he asked himself whether this person possibly be an impostor impersonating a physician?”
