You know what? I've decided that "beauty" is the enemy of mathematics. Mathematicians go on and on about beauty and make glacially slow progress. These are connected.
Try to get a nerd to even part with pi in favour of tao and they can't give you a good reason, but I recon they're just stuck on admiring the booooooty of math and probably have Euler's identity in the back of their misfiring brain.
I happen to find mathematics beautiful. But you don't change things that you're mainly looking at as boooootie . If you're looking at a painting and being swept up in the boooooty you're most likely not approaching the painting as a puzzle. Mathematics, if anything, should be something you want to rip apart. It should be something that gets you pumped up and makes the blood vessels in your upper forehead bulge. You shouldn't give two fucks about "boootiful" already existing mathematics. You should be finding out where it came from in order to conquer new math, or you should be out past the border of math wrestling with new problems.
I don't want to hear people rambling about bbbbbboooooootttty
