“The poverty of the current discourse”—so wonderfully put and so true. Today I read about 15 opinion pieces and a dozen book reviews. This is my first meaningful read of the day. Yes, fuck the rules made and adjudicated by Instagram commenters.
I’ve feared and despised math since I was in elementary school because I have no facility for it, at all, and I’ve always assumed that one must, to appreciate the beauty in it...but this post gives me hope that maybe I’m wrong about that! Of course I’ve never once looked at either books or roses --two of my favourite things--from a mathematical angle, but it was fascinating to read along as you did just that. Thank you :)
I love Elif, though I've only read her nonfiction, not her fiction. Sounds like I have a treat in store!
