Engineering, learned with curiosity.
Mathematics
Euclid proved in 300 BC that prime numbers never run out. He had no idea that 2,300 years later, that proof would be the engineering foundation of every secure transaction on the planet. Neither did anyone else. For over two millennia.
Aerospace Engineering
Nobody set out to build a deadly airplane. Every individual decision in the 737 MAX story had a rationale. That's precisely what makes it so important to understand.
Nuclear Engineering
Nuclear waste will remain lethal long after every language spoken today has gone extinct. The most unsettling engineering problem of our era isn't technical. It's semiotic.
Cognitive Engineering
A billion pesos sounds enormous. So does ten billion. The tragedy is they feel roughly the same — and that gap in human cognition has real consequences far beyond what you'd expect.
