☃️merry chrimist☃️ (npub1pt6…6mf6) I met a Geometry crank at the coffee shop today.
"Yeah I'm thinking about playing Roblox for those sweet youtube views."
"Yeah that's good, Geometry Dash is also good."
"Woah you like Geometry too?"
"Ah, no, Geometry Dash. But I do have an M.S. in Mathematics..."
"I gotta go back to work bro, have fun."
"I study Euclidean Geometry."
"Oh fair, nobody really studies that nowadays though."
"I like Euclid's postulates, I think they're great."
"Oh, are you just starting out? The geometry defined by no points and no lines satisfies them, it's kinda bad."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Because lots of theorems are satisfied vacuously by that geometry, it kinda sucks."
"Sure, but you have to keep in mind that it's not really axiomatic, it's a different system..."
And it went downhill from there.
