feels like i’m getting away with something by talking about math on here. like it’s... not fair to everyone else somehow? 🤔 something i don’t like about the idea of having a conversation “in public” with a potentially really high barrier to entry
Conversation
one of the nice things about talking about feelings and childhoods and shit is literally everyone has feelings and literally everyone had a childhood, they’re universal
meanwhile when it comes to math some of you are / were grad students and some of you have math anxiety 😔

there’s something i like about the idea of bringing to twitter this more technical side of myself i’ve been leaving out and/but also i don’t wanna make people feel excluded or inadequate if i don’t have to. hmm. thoughts?

when i talk about math i also have to be careful not to talk like a huge asshole

Sort of similarly, my worry talking about physics is that I leave this nice sociable bubble and attract argumentative people from Academia Twitter or Pedantic Technicality Twitter or somewhere

hmm yes that does not sound fun although i think it’s probably worse for physics?
This is one of the reasons I never talk about physics.
