I'm not sure what your point is. Are you implying that you are not contributing to the mystification and idealization of mathematics?

In other words, I do not see how you are dealing with the "baggage" of learning mathematics beyond name-dropping it. In my opinion, the mysticism is the baggage. And then the rest of the blogpost reads like a conventional curriculum within the conventional academic regime with which we associate that baggage.

I don't follow. The author dismissively ctrl-V'd a paragraph with no further explanation, and my response asking for elaboration gets shadow-buried by a mod. What?

Your post wasn't simply asking for elaboration—it was written in the cross-examining style that we particularly want to avoid here because it kills curious conversation.

If you didn't intend to come across like an interrogator trying to back an opponent into the corner, then your comment needed to be written quite differently.
