We need to pivot math towards intuition and accessibility.

Math has built a gated, inaccessible institution which - by design or not - served as a moat.

I believe math has little to do with mathematical notation - intuition is much more important. One can have intuition but not be able to “read math” - much as many musicians don’t “read music”.

Reading math however does not guarantee ideas or intuition. And those are what math needs.
