He made me consider many other viewpoints that I refused to consider before. Instead of being a bog standard Hilary Liberal I enjoy looking at issues from many perspectives. From reading Carl Schmitt to Deluze.

You may actually be a literal psychopath.

>>9935515
its usually your first encounter with proofs as a mathematician
you learn every argument you make is built upon assumptions
for someone thats looking for a good reason for everything this was groundbreaking
now there is not a "good reason" for believing anything and we spiral down the rabbit hole of nihilism

>>9936329
I see. If this is what led you into nihilism, perhaps you should look into the phenomenological school, which 'weaponizes' and affirms non-judgement (the epoche) to develop a science of acts of thought and their conjunctive objects per se.

It sounds interesting so I may check the book out, though I am unsure of how approachable it is to someone limited to his undergrad mathematics education.
