people don't even like thinking about problems that aren't abstract

They get told in school they don't have the maths gene and develop a deep aversion to it later on

I have gotten as far as algebraic geometry and differential topology and I can tell you that math is not good. The sense of wonder of discovering new things always has the same formula:
>by constructing a meta-structure that includes concept A and concept B as special cases, we can show how A and B are essentially the same
>polynomial equations are actually sets of points in C
>varieties are actually shapes
>rings, groups, fields, etc are actually fixed points inside monoids
>geometries are just rigid sheaves
>spaces are actually models of nested tautologies
>category theory is just q-analogs of types

Can you please spoonfeed me a specific example that follows your template.

You don't know what you are talking about.

Shut the fuck up.

This, unfortunately.
>>16449432
Agreed. I think you and I would vibe very well together on a spiritual level.

absolute retardation. everyone knows category theory is the ultrafilter of intensional types

Because human beings are not hard-wired for it on either a conscious or a cognitive level, that's why. The brain being able to pick out vague "ooh-aah" simple sensory patterns doesn't count, beyond the most rudimentary, and the most rudimentary doesn't count. The fact that our greatest mathematical achievement through most of history was just solving quadratics over and over again is the proof.

Because it doesn’t immediately lead to money, food or sex. Same reason most people scoff at art.
>The brain may be likened to a parasite which is nourished as a part of the human frame without contributing directly to its inner economy; it is securely housed in the topmost story, and there leads a self-sufficient and independent life. In the same way it may be said that a man endowed with great mental gifts leads, apart from the individual life common to all, a second life, purely of the intellect. He devotes himself to the constant increase, rectification and extension, not of mere learning, but of real systematic knowledge and insight; and remains untouched by the fate that overtakes him personally, so long as it does not disturb him in his work. It is thus a life which raises a man and sets him above fate and its changes. Always thinking, learning, experimenting, practicing his knowledge, the man soon comes to look upon this second life as the chief mode of existence, and his merely personal life as something subordinate, serving only to advance ends higher than itself.

thanks but all the categories i work with are (∞,1)-categories so i don't use the prefix

Yesterday I had an interesting thought that everything in the world can be described/interpreted with math, then the life of every human being, everything that happens with us, is also pre-built/pre-defined/mathematically structured in strict order and can be put into math ''language'', formulas, digits etc. Every movement, action is pre-determined and has its equation and diagram, no matter how spontaneous everything might seem, just like the chaotic activity of the sun, for instance, is analyzed and predicted mathematically. The Materia of surrounding reality can be compared to a "transparent jelly mass" in which every particle and every event is acting/happening according to a already existing mathematical universal equation, solved at the same moment it appeared

hold up. is there such a thing as an ultra product of type theories?

Gee I wonder
