girl who is independent of ZFC :3

if you ask a hypotheticalgirl if she exists she'll say "ummmm well maybe..."

"Quantized angular momentum means a spin is a spin, you can't say it's only a half!" Well, T.J. "Henry" Yoshi,

one of these days im gonna sit down in the middle of a field and do algebra

I'm going to get a group of people together to sit in a ring in the middle of a field and do algebra.

geometry is when topology gets hard. the harder it is, the more geometry it gets

if it's a whole lot of hard, it's analysis

All wrong – is attractive to people of the same gender

welp poll over everyone we found the answer

Something is emerging

Profs love naming quantities "eta" or smth - at the bottom left margin of lecture 2's 17th slide and never clarifying it afterwards.

Sometimes I wish there were a real element of physical skill in mathematics. Like I could be stuck at a proof, and having consulted unsuccessfully with my friends, determine that there is no path forward through mind. In such a state, I would journey out into the wilderness and punch a cave wall until my hand is shaking and broken so that it cracks open and I can peer through that crack for a just a moment, right before the protective cave secretions seal the crack shut, and glimpse the answer to my mathematical problem. It wouldn't be something to do every time I am stuck, as it would be very physically demanding. But it would be nice to have the option. The certain path to fall back upon, reassuring me, in my mathematical journey.

Yesterday I was minding my own business at the park when a goose landed next to me, resting its head in my lap. I thought it just wanted to understand Hartshorne's book a little better, so I started to read to it. But whenever I said the word "scheme" it just honked at me, and when I said "derived functor" it pecked me and created a dent in my face. So, you know, that was that.

tonight i dreamt that famous mathematician Emmy Noether had actually been in cryogenic stasis since her alleged death in 1935 and i was interviewing her about her childhood to learn about everyday life in the 19th century but she kept talking about math mostly. she was so cool

Actually taking this out of the tags: $3 to anyone who can figure out what this is a statement of, $0.50 for being kinda close. I do think this is maybe doable.
