Hi, I'm

Math enjoyers do not DNI. If you like math you are required to interact with me.

one time i was in an olive garden bathroom and my packer fell out of my shorts and this ten year old boy just looked at me with absolute terror and without thinking i said "that's what happens when you don't eat your vegetables" later i saw him eating salad at a speed no human should be capable of

They are, of course, not contradictory. I misunderstood your point, and totally agree that beautiful details come out in the rigor.

Also, that’s a wonderful illustrative example. Thanks.

Potentially a hot take but the whole point of mathematics, especially pure mathematics is to be pedantic. We want to be sure what we're doing makes logical sense.

Sure you have experiments to back up your flimsy mathematical arguements but we care about details because that's what maths is.

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.
