The past few months have, among other things, illustrated to me how many people feel hurt by past experiences with mathematicians, and how this, not always unreasonably, colors their opinions of the field and its future today.
I respect and have had good experiences with mathematicians.
My take on how fields evolve is informed by the history of mathematics, computing, art, and music.
Current times offer both a sense of loss and a call to opportunity. I have heard more about the sense of loss, so I hope to draw interest more towards the opportunity.
