They pretend, for example, that reality is static in ways it isn’t. Or that our own identities are ‘pre-set’. They aren’t, and can’t be. By narrowing both our own identity, and the realities of the world and intelligence into a ‘quip’, memes actively deprive us of agency, insight, potential and intelligence… every time they do not directly accomplish something else in a nontrivial fashion. This meme presupposes a variety of ridiculous ideas and positions. 1. That ‘my life’ is a good indicator of what is useful or not. 2. That the things I do in the extremely limited domains I do them don’t require advanced mathematics. 3. That I should resent the intrusion of complexity and technicality. 4.

It has nothing to do with intelligence, mathematics or reality. The reason we learn mathematics is not necessarily to apply it. Mathematics is »a way of seeing and knowing. If you think that’s only useful if you can always apply the entire thing… you are an idiot. And you are in a deadly trap you are actively composing. This meme is contagious poison. And the poison is in the projection upon mathematics and intelligence, and the abject deprivation of agency in the ‘speaker’. It’s effectively a hypnotic induction engineered to make you more stupid, and prone to transport this meme, every time you encounter it. Do Not Comply
