        Paul Graham Retweeted Laurens Gunnarsen

        This small essay began as a thread of three tweets by @MathPrinceps. But it seemed such an important point, and so well expressed, that I combined them for easier reading.https://twitter.com/MathPrinceps/status/1371002054475272192 …

        Most people never learn any real mathematics. The most important fact of which this leaves them ignorant is that even in a domain in which all terms are precisely defined one can (and indeed frequently does) err spectacularly without realizing it. Truth is exceedingly elusive.

        Eloquent... And for most people, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division AND Probability theory is sufficient for most things imho.

        When I started my Mathematics studies, I asked a graduate: "Did you learn anything useful here?" "I learned how to think." I thought that meant he didn't learn any usable skill. Then I learned how to think.

        "One expects to be wrong at first, for reasons one cannot imagine". Reminds me of designing interactions between more than 3 microservices. Even after hours of discussion, there is this uneasy feeling of "must have missed something".

        I'm still baffled by difficult it is to write a computer program without bugs. The passage "One expects to be wrong at first, for reasons one cannot imagine" in mathematics suggests that this is actually a feature of reality. A reassuring thought, I guess. It's not just me!
