That was a cool magazine. Martin Gardner’s maths column was how most

The important word is 'was'. 'National Geographic' is another 'was'.
What changed? The magazines, or you?
The magazines. 'Scientific American' never endorsed a political candidate
until Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024. That's not science. 'National
Geographic' was dumbed down over the years and now doesn't even exist as a
print magazine afaik. The editors and staff writers were fired and it's
now a freelance effort ultimately owned by Disney.
