Exactly.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah. So there's no such thing as experimental Platonism. But if you think math is an object that emerged in our biosphere, you can start experimenting with that idea. And that to me is really interesting.

Like to think about, well, people, I mean, mathematicians do think about math sometimes as an experimental science, but to think about math itself as an object for study by physicists rather than a tool physicists use to describe reality, it becomes the part of reality they're trying to describe to me as a deeply interesting inversion.

I love the way it makes me feel.
I love the way it makes me feel.
I love the way it makes me feel.
Yeah. So I think I love, yeah, I love the way it makes me feel to have ideas that I think are novel. And I think that the dual side of that is the painful process of trying to communicate that with other human beings to test if they have any kind of reality to them.

uh and i also love that process i love trying to figure out how to explain really deep abstract things that i don't think that we understand and trying to understand them with other people and i also love the shock value of uh you like this kind of idea we were talking about before of like being on the boundary of like what we understand and so people can kind of see what you're seeing but they

I love the shock value that, like, people have, like, that immediate moment of recognizing that there's something beyond the way that they thought about things before.
