I woke up to this video playing I have no idea how I came here or what this is, I’m truely confused

[@dividendtribe2172]

Fell asleep watching real civil engineer play poly bridge 3 and woke to a physics lesson.

[@Fantasticleman]

I love falling asleep to whatever RUclips video I'm watching so I can wake up to smell the Category Theory.

[@DumblyDorr]

Oh dear - this is about the best example of "smart people aren't necessarily great explainers"... IDK, maybe they didn't have time to prepare, that would explain it. But... come on, there are such great ways for intuition building towards category theory, none of them is explored for at least the first hour - though Tali Baynon does a pretty good job later on.

this is the deepest rabbit hole youtube's taken me to and i am genuinely afraid

[@MarkDStrachan]

By the way, being able to be a fly on the wall during conversations like this--its supremely awesome. I've struggled to understand sheaf cohomology since first reading Frankel. Hearing you guys discuss this and walk thru the concepts really opens up this stuff in my head while I'm listening to you.

woke up to this and i just can't sleep through it. where did you bring me youtube

[@brimstoner982]

I fell asleep on this tab and woke up to this stream. Apparently I've been watching Sam O'Nella reactions for the past 5 hours.

[@tarkajedi3331]

I loved this because I really struggle with Category Theory. I am always behind by months as I study to understand this breakthrough Wofram Theory! Exciting and I predict noble prizes in the future !!!!

Thank you Prof. Wolfram to clarify the cat. theory - decompose the abtractions into concret explanation. Save lots of time to decode them.

[@constantavogadro7823]

out of category theory comes the principle of irreducible confusability

[@eugenbarbula9661]

I like the linguistic side the most from category theory, all those specific and absolutely exact terms for every possible abstract thing, like learning a new language with the maximum possible expressivness.

[@Extinct_1]

I fell asleep watching Vsauce and now I am here

[@calebhundley-te2yv]

I fell asleep watching Joe Bartilozi and I wake up to this

[@Versagenn]

so glad i found this through autoplay

[@ChattyCheugy]

I fell asleep learning about ice ages and methane. Woke up learning about proofs to infinity and morphisms 😭

[@cheezman111]

starts at

[@bookofbrah]

Woke up again to this 😍

[@MarkDStrachan]

You end this on exactly what I've been wondering - which is how to express the symmetries of q.f.t. as a group, using category theory, and possibly Grothendieck equivalence to encode the group into the rule... i.e. what does a particle look like in rulial space? I think what it looks like is is an exceptional group as per Lisi, that emerges as you drive up the scale from hyperedge to electron size, where the exceptional group is showing you the stable vibrational modes in the spacelike graph.
