Like I've been saying in every one of those threads, my strongest complaint is about the mane and tail of the fillies. Those clashing colors are terrible.

Glimmer's role would have worked better with spike.

You disgust me. Just what makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

It was good and bad at the same time. All is well until the point when Twilight points out that rhe friendship journal is a textbook and not a work of fiction. That kills the episode. I mean, imagine if people harassed a mathematician because the trains moving problems in his textbook were insufficiently dramatic or something.

It wasn't worth feeling strongly about.

>>30756478
your opinion is shit

>>30756491
LOL TRIGGERED HAHAHA

You do know, historically people have literally been killed over math problems?

I only remember the story vaguely but it goes that the cult of Pythagoras killed a man because he proved the existence of irrational numbers, that is numbers that can't be expressed with a fraction (pi, e, Squareroot of 2, etc.)

It's a bit apocryphal, but

>Around 500 BC, he founded a religion that came to be called Pythagoreanism. Pythagoras and his followers were sure that numbers explained everything in life, from nature to music. What's more, they were sure that everything in the universe was expressible as the result of rational numbers.

Greek mathematics was fundamentally based on commensurable lengths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commensurability_(mathematics), since their mathematics was Euclidean geometry, and they constructed and visualized real numbers as ratios of commensurable sides. Everything had to be constructible, and everything had to be commensurable, or logic and numbers were incoherent (not really, but that's what Pythagoreanism believed).

So the existence of irrational numbers, proved by Hippasus, devastated Pythagoreanism and led to his apocryphal murder.

A rough modern-day analogue would be if Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory were proven inconsistent.
