being good at math stage 1: i like to count!

being good at math stage 2: add more often than i count.

being good at math stage 3: i'm starting to forget how to add because i do algebra so often.

being good at math stage 4: i can do trig subs but i can't quite remember what arithmetic is.

being good at math stage 5: it's just philosophy now.

being good at math stage 6: i like to count!

i think that i'm in some sort of stage 6 analog where i mostly do arithmetic but i have gone through all the other stages at some point. also stage 5 never really ends. what about you?

Today, I realized with dread, that it is infinitely more terrifying to stop using a scientific calculator than it is starting to use one.

What if I just became infinite? What if my mere existence was mathematically indefinable? What are you gonna do then? Huh? Can't wrestle me anymore

for the past hour or so i’ve been trying to find a video i remember seeing YEARS ago but i’m having no luck— so i’m trying to see if anyone else’s remembers it/has it :-) it was someone drawing a stick figure (with whiteboard marker) on a piece of clear plastic which was used to explain/visualize/simulate the concept of the first, second, third, and fourth dimension; more detailed desscription under the cut! please send me anything that you think may fit this description! i really appreciate it!!

as i remember it, which is to say this may not be wholly/100% accurate, in the video the person making it drew a stick figure on a line on a piece of clear plastic to simulate the first dimension (there were some trees too i think?), then made the plastic into a loop by connecting the two ends with tape to simulate the second dimension, then cut it (where they had taped it) and made a mobius strip to simulate the third dimension, and lastly put the strip in a tub of water so the stick figure (drawn with whiteboard marker) would float on its surface and simulate the third dimension. they then concluded by talking about how to this stick figure we are four dimensional, and maybe somewhere out there we are the stick figure in a fourth dimension beings youtube video about the fifth dimension

Stated thinking about the difference between the smallest possible infinity and the largest and then i realized that to make the largest infinity you need the largest infinity inside of it, making the formula so recursive that it would be infinitely long, therefore being larger than the infinity that it was describing, which doesnt make sense. So i gave up once my gears started grinding and said fuckit, im not getting paid for this anyways
