Has anybody ever nerdsniped you/gotten inside your ooda loop in a way that made you go off on a long, random yakshave/down some unnecessary bunnytrail?
Who did it, and on what topic? Someone who knew you well, or a stranger?
I got in an argument over philosophy of math, ultimately motivated by some very silly reasons, that dragged me down many bunny trails until I was compelled to become a finitist.
Even countable ones? I think I read Chaitin’s meta-math book and convinced myself induction was meaningful, but everything beyond was sketchy, especially non-constructive proofs. Meant to look into Brouwer intuitionism but ran into my own limits so I never did.
