I think we're just supposed to infer something generally heartwarming and nod vaguely and approvingly.
I read the letter by squinting , totally worth the read and the post
I copied it via Google Lens and pasted into a file to read.
YMMV.
DearThank you for you
I am so glat you are interested in stick insects Tattoo and when I was your age talve kept son. They are indred fascinating
There are at least two thousand five hundred different species world-wide Most come from the tropics and only a love spectes ever reach this coustry. Sowstifically speaking they belong to groep called the Pharmaton which coesaink bei enguthe left and the stick insects
Suck insects exally do Soksactly like this gyvonvo impossible to spot to the wars they move. They don't, in fact, dering the day but quite a lot during the night. The kind that is usually brought er here are nearly freies and lay eggs that are fertile without having being fortlined by the The egy look actly like their dropping and sometimes people who keep them don't one that and throw them away when they are duning out their sages
The one of which you sent me a photograph, however is tot, howeverak sext. ft's a leaf insect. There are many many ferent species of these as well They vary in the food they prefer and many eat other kinds of leaves than the hawthorn and be and which you say yours perfer. Many of them are even more Chelves than yours, with owtht on their legs that look
Awwww
I do wish we could afford a few more pixels though. This is a paltry sum.
His signature is wild.
Posts like this make me think about who will be the David Attenborough, Bill Nye, Martyn Poliakoff etc of tomorrow, and how do we lift them up without politicization?
The next generation of learning celebrities are already here. I don't think they will be the same as those in the past though. Video sites allow far more niche versions of these great educators who don't need to work on getting TV contracts to spread their enthusiasm for their subjects. I doubt future generations will have singular celebrity educators, but a wide array of them that all get to add their own creative touch to learning.
I'm very excited about it.
Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown) for example will change future generations' relationship with learning math. We haven't have a celebrity math educator before!
Grant Sanderson is my personal hero! I've always had a deep love for maths, thanks to an absolutely stellar math teacher in school, and it's always saddened me how negatively most people look at the subject! I fully believe Grant's amazing style of teaching is capable of changing that for people and bringing the beauty of math to the wider world.
wait didn't poliakoff get popular online? To me he's the guy who talks about elements
Mr beast, Mark Rober, veritasium guy, bruspup
First that come to mind are Kyle hill, nilered and vsauce Michael Stevens. Love those guys.
Michael Stevens is definitely up there. He takes a gentle "love your fellow person" approach to things but also teaches so very much.
Why rename?
Because it’s a leaf insect not a stick insect. So the stick name is inappropriate.
I read that whole letter in his voice.
What do pixels sound like?
