Another banger! I think this is among the greatest meme templates ever envisioned

No no, I think there’s a misunderstanding here. If you can accurately describe to me what an n-brane is or have ever used terms like “deformation in the local topology”, I assume you’ve done SIGNIFICANTLY more psychedelics than most people. I’ve never had easier access to psychedelics in my life than when I spent most of my time near the math buildings at uni.

I could’ve (probably) told you last summer but I have indeed forgotten much of it. I imagine drugs would make it more confusing though, right?

“Drugs” is a pretty wide net, and yeah most of them would make it more difficult. Someone who isn’t me once told me that psychedelics make it a lot easier to follow really abstract thought, and that comes in handy when trying to imagine theoretical geometries our brains and other sensory equipment didn’t evolve to comprehend

We all talk about how high dimensional space is cursed, yet we still try and use it for personal gain.

It is folly I say.

Ah maybe I need to talk to an advanced geometry expert for help with a worldbuilding complicated ecplipse idea
