    I’m so glad that people finally start to grasp, how bad excessive specialisation really is.

      Once I was doubting the need for higher levels of mathematics. Now as an engineer I realize the utility of this knowledge.

      What made my change my mind? Well it’s definitely not my intelligence nor my age, it’s the practical application of that theory which got me here. Reading in between the lines can only happen if you like what you’re doing.

        I have a similar relationship with math. Only that I learnt to admire it through 3D and shaders.

        Check out Shadertoy.com

        People there create works of art from something, that’s usually perceived as “cold”. I’m still in awe of how people, using “cold” analythical methods achieve something so full of soul. I think it deserves to be appreciated far more than it is now. This is literal magic.
