mastodon.social should get defederated honestly. They allow rampant transphobia and racism and refuse to ever address it.

There is nothing less logical than human beings who blind themselves to their own illogical behavior with the worship of logic itself. Math is just a linguistic system for trying to describe the world around us in greater detail than other systems might allow. The more logical thing to do would be to recognize ones vulnerability to illogical thought and embrace the parts of that, that are not damaging while trying to find in one's self the illogical beliefs that might be harmful (including the idea that one is capable of existing only in the logical) so one can allow themselves to improve. Denying that vulnerability in ones self only stunts people in a place where they cannot adapt to new/novel changes in information. It's how we end up with people that say facts don't care about your feelings, while ignoring the facts they don't like or don't support their argument, because the only facts that matter to somebody in that state are the ones they have assimilated into their world view. Math Culture exists and it's in my opinion what makes math a worthwhile pursuit. All math is, is an often inaccurate way of modelling the world, solar system, galaxy and universe around us. It is often capable of much more precision than other linguistical models, but in some areas I would say it's worse. But it reveals to us patterns we might not otherwise have recognized using other systems (This is why early math is so tied to art and philosophy and it would probably be a great thing if we stopped trying to create a dichotomy between math and art, it doesn't exist and both fields would be severely diminished without the existence of the other). Those patterns are often a thing of beauty and understanding them to a greater extent can open up a greater appreciation for the nature of life itself if we allow ourselves to appreciate the inherent art in math. Without that, math is just a toy for people who hate the world to escape into the cold logic that they can shape in their own image to reinforce their previously held beliefs... Like any linguistic system, but potentially worse. Stripping art and philosophy from math sucks. People who do that suck. It's actually one of the first things I can spot talking to tech bros that makes it obvious that eventually they are going to say something bigoted and small minded. Math is not a way to escape the world, but to get to know it better, people trying to shrink the world to make it less scary to them should be doing something else with their time instead of poisoning STEM with their small mindedness.

Seems like the more people pride themselves on spotting nonsense, the more they seem to be advocating this shit these days. People have entered into this weird phase of mass AI hysteria and only those that don't use it at all are sitting here like... Am I crazy or are the hoards of AI enthusiasts crazy? It's gotta be one or the other.
