There is no royal road to geometry, as euclid is reported to have said. If you find an entire field to be mostly chore than should you switch to another field where it seems like a lot more fun? You know, that's a more difficult, subtle question. So a hundred per centa we have to sometimes grind. We have to sometimes do chores. That's probably the answer i would give am,. but we have to be open to the fact that even that wouldn't give us the answer to this question that we're asking.
Welcome to the November 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
