Episode notes
I think one of the reasons for that is especially when humanity said I can't really speak to the mathematics side of this just not my field. There's an inferiority complex with the humanities which is we're not a science to make up for that so we kind of have to make ourselves sound as scientific as possible. The masters have always been kind of that way they distill they don't add generally they subtract even in writing it's called killing your darlings. If your objective is clarity and trying to get people to understand what you're talking about then simple words are better than complex ones.
