A Mind-Blowing Way of Looking at Math (with David Bessis)

Bessis emphasizes the need to think visually and suggests that math books should be consulted nonlinearly. He introduces 'System 3,' a reflective mode to refine intuition, and shares insights on the humility of great mathematicians. Bessis also addresses the limitations of language in conveying complex thoughts and the impact of AI on human understanding.
