I'll have to chew on that for a while and watch the extended video. I will say I think the insights after fundamentally not mathematical, which is part of why it fails so spectacularly when described as math.
one guess is "there are no straight lines" might be a form of map/territory distinction

The lines vs waves bit seems more like a form vs substancelessness distinction, which are both aspects of the map but we usually think of it more as form. The "in between space" is pretty telling. But also I think this guy is legit having a psychotic break and in worried abt him

I say this with warmth, respect, appreciation & compassion for TH. My experience suggests to me that this is the crux graph. And here's the crux sentence. Right here: "If one times one equals one that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect."pic.twitter.com/WdUejO239U

Yes, seems to me "there are no straight lines" is more of an empirical approximation we've made based on what we've learned from physics. "no straight lines" is not a mathematical insight
@dailectic, is this related to the insight you're detecting?https://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1177332181049307136?s=20 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
