Willful ignorance is a vibe; did you read any of the GitHub? There are some stunning results in there. I get a similar feeling skimming through the topics that I do watching a successful space launch: it’s pretty cool humans built this. Unlike a space launch we are likely to be able to pass all of this information down to our grandchildren - space launches involve a lot of finicky engineering knowhow, but pure math results tend to be sticky over the last few thousand years. I find that hopeful.
FWIW I also like bread.
