why i think math is dehumanized

The reason people dehumanize math so much is because they think that math is the sum of all that they have learned until high school. That’s not true. What you learned in high school is arithmetic, a glimpse of geometry, and maybe an intro to calculus. The reason people don’t see the beauty in math is because you’re not taught to ask questions when it comes to the poetry or the philosophy of math. What is Math? How is the difference between an ellipse and a circle even important? You barely do any proofs and even then you treat those like arithmetic problems. I think the education system effectively squeezes out the beauty of mathematics and leaves you with this chaos of numbers. I understand why math is taught the way it is. If you delved into the philosophy of each concept, you wouldn’t have time left to learn the basic arithmetic. After all, it’s better to have people who know their arithmetic and are disinterested in math than people who don’t know any arithmetic at all. But the point is, when it comes to math, you need to be polished (so to speak) to even begin to fathom the depth of math. You have to train your mind to accept the wonders of each concept. I think if you look at the world from a mathematical perspective, your mind will get overwhelmed easily. You have to train your mind to absorb all the beauty.  You have to be almost narcissistic to fathom math.
