>When will mathematicians ever care about those types of propositions?
a physicist or engineer wouldn't worry about such things, but this is the exact kind of shit mathfags sperg out about.
math isn't about flexing the human mind's capacity for symbolic manipulation, one old bloke said something like
>God can turn water into wine, heal the lame, and cure the blind, but God cannot make a triangle whose interior angles do not add up to 180
through understanding mathematics, one is able to pull the curtains back beyond man and beyond god, to touch deeply the most sublime faculties of existence. To know, then, that we are fundamentally unable to attain a mathematical understanding that is entirely whole and cohesive, is the cosmic equivalent of knowing we're doomed to 'chase the dragon' forever

Woah, I think I know precisely what you're talking about, I also started as a kid too (13), I've never heard of anyone else doing it just the way I do, how would you describe it? Do you have any resources or anything you could compare/contrast it to? For me I started doing it, then later found out about OBEs and ""astral projection,"" although i always felt like that explanation only scratched the surface. imo the out-of-body part just feels like the first step. Is this kinda clicking with you? Definitely I've used it to manage my emotions like you've mentioned, it's like a magic bullet
I have to go to class soon but I'm going to come back and try to elucidate what's in my head.
