The further to the left or the right you move, the more your lens on life distorts.
Robert Krulwich of the NPR Science Blog points his viewers at an intriguing video presented by Vi Hart. Here’s how Krulwich describes her:
Vi Hart calls herself "a recreational mathemusician currently living on Long Island." She talks faster than a machine gun, loves math, and draws like a dream. Her newest video: "Doodling in Math Class: Snakes + Graphs" is eye-popping.

Over the years, I’ve been an engineer, a manager, a professor, a consultant, an author and an entrapreneur. I was founder of Evannex, an automotive aftermarket products manufacturer and e-commece company that specializes in electric vehicles. I've written a number of best-selling college textbooks and have tried the occasional novel. My latest book, Normalizing Insanity, discusses how fantasy ideas become viral narratives that lead to insane policies. I’ve lived long enough to see the irrationality in extreme positions taken by both ends of the political spectrum and worry that decisions driven by these positions may get us all into very real trouble. I harbor no illusions about influencing decision-making, only making a comment or two that might provoke you to think beyond the prevailing narrative. On a personal level, I’ve been married for over 50 years (to the same person!) and have two terrific sons who live and work in South Florida and Los Angeles. I'm originally from Connecticut, but have lived in SoFla for more than 20 years.
