> ask anyone that actually works in the industry - fancy math is no longer a thing

Huh? What happened? This is a very interesting claim I would love to hear elaborated

Man of the people:

> Ujiharu’s blind charges may actually have had a noble purpose. Japanese battles involving castles almost always turned into sieges, and those always ended the same way: with the nearby fields and peasant settlements being either destroyed to try and draw the lord out of the castle or looted to feed the occupying army. Some researchers believe that Ujiharu was trying to avoid a siege to save his subjects.

Possible harmonization of the two ideas: the intuition that we go into math at high school level can help serve us at that level of math. We have some idea of geometry-like objects and 2d-calculus like curves from our everyday life

At university level the objects become more abstract, so the intuition we use in normal daily life may no longer apply. New kinds of intuition may develop but it takes work, including lots of time spent with the formal processes and calculations along with reflection on that time, and the active creation of new metaphors to drive the intuition. For example, I still remember a professor using "Ice-9" (from _Cat's Cradle_) as a metaphor for how proving some local property of a holomorphic function on the complex plane made that property true for its global behavior

I agree both that the concept probably applies to all people and that the title probably is what it is because of the publication. But I left it because of HN conventions on not editing titles

> Boulder is a remote place?

I agree Boulder wasn't the strongest starting example, but it is a lot smaller than Miami

The article discusses other, more remote locations as well

The article largely discusses the band from Charleston to Jax. That's coastal. There is a lot of wealth flooding to Charleston and areas like Beaufort. I have seen it first-hand, although I live on the west coast.

There are other factors at play besides just affordability.

> Drugs, hypnosis/mesmerism, meditation, trance, new religious movements, weird fasting regimens, transcendental experiences in nature, mysticism. That stuff has disappeared from public discourse today, along with many other radical ideas that could apparently just be talked about over coffee back then, without anyone batting an eyelash.

It's all over the place on social media. What gives you the sense that is has disappeared?
