Imperfect as we are, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, who gives us wisdom and understanding and empowers us to bear fruit in every good work, we can labor to enjoy meaningful hyphen years on this side of heaven—a life well-lived for Jesus, while promoting Him to the lost souls.

When math educators (teachers, tutors, writers, editors, consultants, …) come to terms that the human-machine convergence will create both opportunities and risks—it is not just a case of what machines can do versus what humans can do, but rather what tasks they can synergistically achieve together.
HumanAIzed math isn’t a mere fusion of humans and machines working alongside each other, but a cocreation for a new vision of math education.

A traditionally white male chauvinist with a high IQ but low EQ, who is often stereotyped as someone who is likely to remain single, and if he ever gets married, the odds of his getting separated or divorced are pretty high, because his proofs take priority over people and pets.
