Therapist: Do you think your dives into math are a type of avoidance for difficult problems in real life?
Me: You know what’s really interesting? I just thought of this, but recipes can be really well represented by a directed, weighted hypergraph. Each hyperedge is an action, the weights are the measurements, and so following the directed hyperedges will result in the meal the recipe is for. It more naturally captures how recipes can be non-linear than regular list based recipes!
men will invent new fields of mathematics before going to therapy
Well, new fields of mathematics are useful.
You imply that therapy is not.
Yes.
That was literally what Sir Isaac “Deadliest Son of a Bitch in Space” Newton did.
Despite his being a stunningly weird little guy, he sure did notice some useful stuff! Crazy fella even wrote about it afterwards
