my relationship to math is very weird b/c like i spent thousands of hours putting autism points into it and became clearly world-class along some unusual dimensions then totally abandoned the whole thing and completely reinvented myself as the guy who cries a lot

@QiaochuYuan Reading your tweet got me wondering…what in life benefits from being top 1% math and top 1% crying a lot? Relevant essay https://t.co/vt2lWaBHee (he calls it top 25% but he means top 25% of ppl who try at all which is really like top 1%)

@eshear been thinking about this. i think the real unusual skill i trained in math is not math per se but something more transferrable around ontological modeling and remodeling. which has therapeutic applications!

@QiaochuYuan I'd be down for math and crying at jesscamp, although I can't claim big contributions to either field

@QiaochuYuan I cry a lot, I think I should reinvent myself as the math guy
