some notes from a Twitch lecture I did going over the philosophy of motion from #Aristotle to #JohnPhiloponus to #IbnSina to #JeanBuridan
@Blaergh I love the math posts I love that this is a thing, it can be done. But I see the higher math beyond Algebra and go, "Blaergh!" Nothing personal, just the sound that comes out the back of my throat. Keep on, though... I need to expand my horizons, and I'm happier knowing it's being shared!
@Blaergh I didn't know then how much a loss it was. After high-school, I was trying to get an Amateur Radio license and I saw the link between a sine wave and a circle. I felt then it was, "Huh! I wish I had seen that earlier, but math..." Now I'm 50+ wishing someone had seen my interests and challenged me to solve a problem involving my computer hobby that required grasping Trig and so on.
Lost opportunity. And at this point, it would have no use in my current profession and I couldn't open enough free time to delve into it. But I do have regrets.
Please, do keep fighting for the "me" that might have been.
