    Wouldn’t that have been “a drachma for your thoughts”?

    For a penny, you get vertex A and nothing else. (Not even the label, just the dot!)

    Made me think of an interview Joe Rogan did with Elon Musk.

    Rogan said, “It must be cool, to be you.”

    Musk said, “You would not want to be me.” He went on to explain how his mind never rests.

    They approached him from the wrong angle.

    Remember, without geometry, life would be pointless.

    He’s such a bore. All he can talk about is how he wrote the single most important geometry book of all time and never got a single royalty check. He used to have some drinking buddies, but he quit going out with them. They wouldn’t quit saying, “Here’s looking at Euclid.”

    Shouldn’t that be “A khalkos for your thoughts”?

    No wonder. They couldn’t find him in those mazes he made. Must have been happy. Never heard that he stopped.

    One summer when I was still in high school, I carpooled to work with a young woman who’d graduated from the same school just the year before. I already had a bad crush on her from back when she was still in school. But when she started talking once about Euclidean geometry on the drive home, I was over the moon, head-over-heels smitten.

    “Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare.”

    By Edna St. Vincent MillayEuclid alone has looked on Beauty bare.Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace,And lay them prone upon the earth and ceaseTo ponder on themselves, the while they stareAt nothing, intricately drawn nowhereIn shapes of shifting lineage; let geeseGabble and hiss, but heroes seek releaseFrom dusty bondage into luminous air.O blinding hour, O holy, terrible day,When first the shaft into his vision shoneOf light anatomized! Euclid aloneHas looked on Beauty bare. Fortunate theyWho, though once only and then but far away,Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.
