Least unhinged Math Sorcerer Thumbnail

[arthurmaghanoy]

That thumbnail was enough for me to reconsider every decisions that I'd made in my life

[bababoi]

bro fell down from heaven and reminds us to stop wasting time 😇🙏. I've transcended.

It’s so nice that my sleep paralysis demon teaches math when he’s off the clock

[hypoblood]

"Lay hold of today's task, and you'll not need to depend so much upon tomorrow's"

Woah, will think of that phrase everytime I want to procrastinate haha

[bigbao]

The thumbnails are getting more and more wild!!

[angelajohnson]

Don’t have anytime to waste. My time is taken up with tasks coming from everywhere.

[rwharrington]

I find Seneca and other stoic philosophy often just poeticizes truths we all know deep down. But those explicit reminders every now and again are always revitalizing to hear.

This Angel of Mathematics with the golden mane and eyes of flame has captured my attention and loyalty, I will learn the maths from this great master. Adding philosophical musings to this already powerful persona is incredible. The ineffable math sorcerer.

This came to me in my notifications when i am wasting time lol

[chechito]

Thank you for your video. I am trying to write a scientific article on reducing the acidity of waste cooking oil to use it as a raw material in oleochemical industry, and I really agree with the fact that anxiety is produced by trying to distract yourself with other things but not stop thinking about the postponed task. I will try to do my best with my present, it is the only thing I got for sure. Thank you again, the video was interesting and motivating.

[bombayboys]

Was on bed hearing this.
Got up and started my python programming study right away.
All the best to me in this journey.
Thank you Math Sorcerer.

"On the Shortness of Life" is my favourite of Seneca; quote:

In guarding their fortune men are often close-fisted, yet, when it comes to the matter of wasting time, in the case of the one thing in which it is right to be miserly, they show themselves most prodigal.

I'm gonna pick Real Analysis back up right now, thanks!

[zuriel]

the angel of knowledge is talking, listen

[KB_WAS_HERE]

This video helped me so much it was the little push I just needed, and I started reading that book you're suggesting and till now in chapter _III_ I loved it, God bless you and thank you for the beautiful content you're sharing ❤

[sudnoss]

Right after you quoted Seneca on fleeting time, an ad appeared. The irony is real.

[thedominion]

Marcus Aurelius' Meditations are a great collection of ideas. I even have an app on my phone that gives me a stoicism quote daily as a notification.

[surrealistidealist]

I love it when you get philosophical!!!

I guarantee you'll love Georg Christoph Lichtenberg's "The Waste Books"! He was an 18th century German physicist and astronomer who was the first to study "Lichtenberg figures" (electrical discharges that create fractal patterns). He privately jotted down his personal reflections every night, and after he died, his friends discovered these writings and loved them enough to publish them. Neitzsche, Freud and Einstein, among many others, loved reading Lichtenberg. It's been said that "Lichtenberg is not a household name, but something even more rare: a name savored by household names."

You can read his aphorisms at random, just one or a few at a time, as if eating from a box of chocolates!

I am old and I am trying to learn math to get into a good university because i did not study in the past. Thank you for this amazing concise video, it sends chills of realization down the spine. I feel awful for wasting so much time in the past but all we have is Now, tomorrow is not guaranteed.
