If you can have the patience to look past that, there might be some brilliant little ways

insights that it can provide.

At least for me in the realm of programming, I should say programming, there's just so much training data.

There's so much there.

And at least I see the light at the end of the tunnel of promising possibilities of it being a good collaborator versus like something that gives you really true genius level insights.

I mean, you're talking to yourself.

Sorry for the ridiculously big question, but what idea in mathematics...

is most beautiful to you?

We've talked about so many.

Yeah, the infinity is not the end.

And what about philosophy?

What is the most beautiful idea in philosophy?

The gap between the two is full of fascinating mysteries, both in the platonic realm,

but also in the physics realm, and I would even say in the human psychology, sociology, politics, geopolitics, all of it.

If you think about proof more generally, which is the process of discovery versus the truth itself.

And that's our journey, whatever field we're in.

Well, I, for one, am grateful for how marvelous of a philosopher, mathematician, and human being you are.

It's truly an honor to speak with you today.

Thanks for listening to this conversation with Joel David Hamkins.
