When doing mathematics, you don't just look at a wall, while sitting alone in a room. There are times when you also bang your head against it. But then you go for a walk on your own without music, observe nature, then come back and sit down again. Alone looking at the wall. And you finally find your way through the problem. That's how one mathematically grows

My favorite quote from Pascal (well I think he said this) is "The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know." He was a man who loved to think, whether it was doing math or philosophizing. But he realized not only that emotions and feelings gave meaning to what we discover through reason, but that some things lie completely beyond our powers of thinking--and lie only in the heart. Which are those things? Maybe it takes sitting quietly in a room to find out.

Hi math sorcerer, one of marcus aurelius's ideas is that the mind can serve as a refuge where you can access an internal calm while other things may be happening externally (less expensive than a beach vacation). I think a great analogy is crate training with dogs. I don't want to describe the crate training process here but I have seen a dog be able to change how it sees its kennel as a place where it is confined to a place where goes willingly and often

In Psalms it is written "be still and know that I am God". I've always thought that what that verse was trying to convey was that we can only reach our highest potential, our highest consciousness when we "sit quietly alone in a room" and focus on pure things with complete focus. What's more pure in our reality than mathematics!? It truly is the language of "God". The language that underlies everything. It is a path to our highest self.

@tombeatty4792 5 дней назад

I'm not sure if all of humanity's problems come from that, but it's a good skill to have. I think most people who love math are able to do that, almost by definition, since that's kind of what learning math requires. A related question is, what percentage of mathematicians (or people who love math generally) are introverts?

My favorite Pascal is Pedro. Also, all jokes aside, you'll see that idea discussed a lot in stoic philosophy and even modern day works. Deep Work by Cal Newport discusses the idea and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius also covers some ideas regarding solitude--or rather, the ability to do things by focusing on what is important and ignoring what is not.

I'm understanding algorithms and a lot of math come from India. India has solved some of the deepest problems, socially and science wise. But my depression of humanity intolerance for combination and collective Commons to accelerate, obedience in an expression on planned obsolescence with respect to religion and humor, concerning evolution and beauty or humor out living a social or civic integrity, but the anger and Melrose people want to remain is also frustrating. Hello to no idea of why we are here, and goodbye to a coveting for illusion and religion to meet a sexual expectation or repression. Arithmetic, science, Athletics and romance are more tolerable without humor, which would be useful for apology and only in the more preconceived violations or attacks on comprehension that would leave room for useless affiliation, where understanding privacy and severity of psychological assumption that reduces behavioral obedience or commitment to comfort for all people with a need for humor out aggression. Policy of life, not politics and control. Mutually exclusive. But as much as I love probability, physics based on algebra and geometry is more serious

Poor proto-statistician Pascal. If only he had been familiar with modern personality theories, he would've known that, although not the most common orientation in the world, a significant percentage of the population Natura thrives on quiet thoughtful introspection. Perhaps such knowledge would've induced him to search elsewhere for humanity's biggest source of woe

@kenneth_romero 5 дней назад

actually indians have known this since 1500+ bce. They have a book called "The Upanishads" which talks about how to obtain a better knowledge of oneself that revolves around meditation. It's really more about controlling your mind and being able to slow it down enough to individually see each thought and process through it. allowing one to increase their ability to concentrate and focus on an individual thought, idea or action for longer. greeks also were approaching this till socratic thinking was the major philosophy, though, i believe the stoics stoics were the closest western civilization that had the same ideas or close to it.

@gen3360 4 дня назад

True, in Hinduism and other indic religions(most popular among the westerners being Buddhism), the utmost priority of saints, rishis is to meditate, as long as they possibly can, breaking the limits of the human body which craves stimuli at all times. Many a times through this, they are able to achieve higher levels of thinking. People normally like to pass it off as superstition or myth, but I have seen priests break what is humanly possible by meditating alone for days without food, which requires a level of concentration which I can't even imagine. Math is the closest thing there is to this sort of a tradition, for rather than just using your mind, you have paper to visualize even more creatively, your thoughts.

Yes, this is pretty much the case, and the “mobile device” has made it much worse. It rewires our brains and shortens our already limited attention spans. On the other hand, the mobile device has opened up an unprecedented portal to knowledge for anyone who wants to learn about ANYTHING. You just have to have the discipline to eschew the distractions. One of the most despised habits is that of “discipline,” or rational control of one’s behavior. If we took more time to think, we would make fewer bad choices in our lives. Discipline is the mortal enemy of the “consumer” economy built on 3-seconds sound bites and continuous video assaults that moulds people into mindless puppets.
