In accordance with my commitment below, here are the ten ideas I came up with.

  1. An introduction to real analysis using Python.

  2. Gurren Lagann fanfiction where characters die left and right for being idiots. (Thanks chelz!)

  3. Semi-realistic Solar System space opera. Moral horizon-hopping protagonist reclaims humanity's drive toward space.

  4. An argument against mathematical platonism.

  5. An explanation of the taxonomy of birds.

  6. A follow-up to the quantum physics sequence.

  7. A type theory-based explanation of tensor analysis and differential geometry.

  8. An argument against the usefulness of Rawls' "veil of ignorance".

  9. An essay on romantic aesthetics, using Rand as a starting point but blowing away her chaff.

  10. A review/update of Buckminster Fuller's Critical Path.
