Can /lit/fags into mathematics? Have you ever read God among men aka Von Neumann?

Why are mathfags so insufferable, bros? Why must they bring their retarded autism all the way from /sci/ and post it here? Nobody cares about your equations, faggots.

Math is just another form of language
You could apply the concept of prose to math if you really tried

math can be use to describe autist, and prose can be use to describe neurotypical.

I've grown to like it over the past two years, but I still understand too little of it.
It's a satisfying field, that's for sure, but if I want to be honest with you, I lack the aptitude for it.

I would gladly get into mathematics / physics etc but there simply isn't enough time. At this point in my life I'm only interested in landing a passable job and working on my stylistic expression, perhaps acquiring additional philosophical insight regarding tradition, sincretism-s and half a dozen writers I need to read.

Spending decades doing math/physics homework for mid-tier gains would simply not be feasible for me.

Focus on applied stuff like statistics, game theory, and CS.

>> No.12552741

>>12552722
Nope, I would focus on physics if I wanted to go for hard sciences but as I've said, time is a cruel mistress and my inclinations have always been aimed towards language aesthetics - not that I'm any kind of passable writer.
