  1. Today I got to have the full #intuitionist #constructivist #maths experience.

    First, somebody half-jokes that if one is a constructivist, then one's friends won't talk to them anymore.

    Then, somebody else says that #constructivism is a deviant counterculture.

    At this point, like a fool, I link Bauer's "five stages" paper: ams.org/journals/bull/2017-54-

    But alas, somebody actually reads the paper, and they think that the whole paper is a joke. They have two concrete questions, which I answer using relevant examples.

    This was all in the context of #homotopy #TypeTheory, for what it's worth.
