Math is framed. Neither invented or discovered. Basically, it just gets more and more clear the more we learn about it. Every equation gets more focused the more advanced the mathematics become, or the more we need to do with it, so it's like framing a picture, and cropping parts of it. Like, all principles in math are just built from other smaller principles, starting with the basic operations, all the way to a shape that could describe Reiman's Hypothesis. You don't discover the shape, or invent it, but describe it.

Everything has number involved with it, from chemistry, to geometry, to physics. It's just the numbers work in proportion and relation to each other by equalities. Even the imaginary numbers are real, as they represent something, just in a higher dimension.

I can easily show you negative 9. It will plot on a graph, and work inverse in relation to the geometric figure. So, take a leaf, and do calculus with the curve for the leaf's edge, you'll find you need negatives for some of the curve and rate of change, to fully document the leaf, as some of the leaf's structure overlaps with the others in new dimensions of space. Like, you have a square represented on that x/y graph, the numbers are going to relate to actual geometry, and negatives are going to plot different points onto the graph, and create different lines and different dimensions, only equal to the equation.

Money's [also], not imaginary. Without it, you'd have no marker for received debts, or work. Like you need money to mark how much capital you have, and how much you've worked, and keep track of that, because without it, you'd have no way of keeping track of labor or production costs, which is real. Like your entire dollar bill is backed by capital, labor and how much work is invested into the economy, which is why a Banana Republic can happen, when there's nothing real--no labor or capital--backing the currencies, it causes inflation. Which is also why currencies spring up in every society, be it smoked meats, or sea shells, or sand dollars, or beads, or even dollar bills.

There are thousands of things we're forgetting because of it. Literally, core concepts in math, such as Geometry's relation to Algebra, or contextual based reading skills... we're losing it.

I don't understand how we've become so dull, but I think the answer lies in the fact that everything we do on the internet, revolves around social constructs, and a priori reasoning. This was common knowledge in the 90's and 00's, that we understood this fact that everything in language, related back to something we described in the real world.  It was taught in our High Schools. Until it wasn't, and I think the education degraded under the Patriot Act and Common Core, and Universities were focused too much on squaring the circle, and making absurd conjectures about Postmodern nonsense, rather than sticking to the foundations of evidence and reason.

And you can still believe in Christ, through evidence and reason. There's no point in casting aside Christ for this, as there's a foundational bedrock of evidence in support of the Bible. Both witness, and archeological.

But, this comes to the fact, that the internet has given people infinite information, but infinite bad information, and has made the world dull, in that everything is related to language rather than the context or substance of that language. Rather, Math we used to understand has a Hermeneutics too, and it was the foundation of Western Society, and without it, we've lost ground, and it's entirely the Internet's fault.

 The same thing in math, you do in language. You don't go by the literal equation alone, but what it applies to in the real world. That's why context always matters. I learned that in High School, I don't know how we forgot it. It's the same thing for interpretation, you can have the exact same sentence mean a thousand things. You don't take things in isolation, but draw them through their contexts, what something actually means. It's the same in math, I'd suppose, if you needed 0^0 to be indeterminate, 1 or undefined, that's what you'd do in that specific instance, based on the geometry of what you were using. As it'd relate to that specific shape.

They exist, just if you're using two dimensions, it exists in the third dimension. You can see the imaginary numbers are plotted on the Z axis. What's really weird, is that no similar construction works in some higher roots. But they work again for other roots. Everything we use in math, corresponds to geometric equivalents.

[P]eople with that High IQ tend to be looked down upon. They did the same to Plato, Socrates, Confucius, Christ... really the whole list of the greatest Geniuses. I believe him. When you have a 200 IQ you tend to be a little "Lazy" and are insatiably curious. Most of the 200IQ club find low stress jobs, and just live life. It's actually interesting how we want them to achieve great things, when really, they probably understand just how ridiculous it is to try and change the world. You don't really need to do that, so superior geniuses typically don't even try. Goethe, also, didn't do much beside write books. Claiming Langan is an average intellect, is kind of {} dull{}. He probably is a 200IQ genius, he just understands the complete vanity of life. As is something to look at, how we don't really need to accomplish anything in this world, just go about our business and live life humbly and eat from our work. That's really all there is. And then dullards steal it from us, defame us, and do everything they can to take it from us, because they can't do the same. 

I think jealousy is a huge factor here. I understand his theory--and there's some credibility to it, but in a slightly different way, as it's not our mind shaping reality, but reality shaping our mind--and then of course there's things we can't get into here. But, generally, yes... he is onto something.

In a Christian context, that's what faith is, is seeing the subtle hints and nuances in reality, and then believing on them. As Christ is preeminent, and ultimately God over all. He shapes and creates, and makes sound. We don't do that, as there's septillions of other human wills all working in accord at once, and to say they all shape reality, I think they observe their world, and their minds get predicated on it. That they can't go beyond it, but some people can.

Plans succeed and fail. Another guy left a multi million dollar business, and voluntarily became homeless and filmed himself trying to do this same thing, and failed utterly. Truth is, be thankful for your fortune, because billions of other people have far less, and you shouldn’t presume to confuse what was merely chance with skill. And someone who has the skills might be held down by forces much larger than them, too. It’s all a crapshoot, skill or no skill. You realize that, you learn contentment, which is the greatest gift of all.
