It feels like learning a dead language, like Latin. Good for an appreciative view of things, not really instrumentally relevant. Maybe I just feel left out of the cool kids’ club. dunno

I guess nobody’s ever explained to me what I can do with math that I can’t do with computers without trying to Charisma me about some kind of ultimate beauty or something. Open to pitches.

“There is no royal road to mathematics.” It’s nobody’s job to explain or pitch math to you, and you’ve chosen an uninteresting instrumental attitude to math that stifles any diy curiosity. Your loss.

What are you, a Ben Shapiro?
There’s nothing to debate. You’re not interested in math, I’m not interested in converting anyone to math appreciation.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -
