Starting from the beginning of the book, I came across this gem of a sentence, when speaking about math compared to science or engineering: > Because of this, mathematicians are in a weird and, I’d say, unique position of always having to defend what they do with respect to its value for other disciplines. I again stress that this is something that would be considered absurd when it comes to any other discipline. I think this is a concept that anyone who studied anything that does not directly lead to monetizable outcomes can relate to, but it's nice to hear even those whose gifts skew to the numeric also have to contend with "Milton Friedman's Razor".
