i had the privilege of taking perlin's computer graphics course at nyu- amazing person. fun fact, his conference submissions are easily spottable because he's the only person in the world who doesn't refer to it as "Perlin Noise"
i do apologize for that- the lines are randomly generated on every page load, inspired by kintsugi. it's a sacrifice i make because i just kinda like it :p
My 9th grade history teacher showed us S3E6 "The Body in Question" and it really stuck with me all the way through being an important part of my college thesis basically. I never actually watched any other episodes but I still think about Pierre and the distinction between truth and fact a lot.
