It's so exciting to see overlap between theories we have learned and ones we are currently exploring. The one-minute explanation was hilariously accurate. This obsession with math and linguistics is rather interesting, too, as is it seems to connect to formalism, which I keep calling "formulism," as in the creation of formulas.

The Real sounds rather Platonic as well, doesn't it? It sounds like the Allegory of the Cave, where one has to get out of the cave, venture into the Land Outside, see the Truth, and somehow make sense of it. In a sense, "our brains would probably explode" from the complexity of the Truth.
