The Power of Geometry

The way the Greeks thought has influenced the way everybody thinks so deeply, that it's hard to really step out of that and think about things in a different way. It tells you why geometry was so powerful, right? Like it helps you import into your mind this sort of 3D picture of what's happeningRather than just like looking at lists of numbers, which is really hard to visualize. But I think partially that's just because we're all, you know, thinking the Greek way. And if you know the Chinese cosmology had taken over the planet, we might all think about things more arithmetically and more algebraically, it'sHard to imagine.
