Discussion on Algebra and Practical Math

Why does algebra put letters into numbers?

I think just to fuck with you.

So you deal with math in your job every day.

Well, you've already, I think, demonstrated your grasp of math is,

is high.

Very-

Nah. I mean, functional math.

Yeah, yeah.

For sure. Yeah.

Well, if you can build a wood-fired kiln-

Yeah

... um, you understand math. So but

what's...

You, you didn't add letters to numbers in the

process of doing that?

That's the weirdest thing. Nowhere did I find any letters in my

math to calculate the size and structural integrity of a catenary

arch.

Isn't that weird? Oh, that was weird.

'Cause everybody, every math teacher was always like, "You need to know some

algebra." I've yet to encounter a single person in my life that

uses algebra.

Actually.

Have you?

So like you... But you would know. Yeah, but I mean, I live in a fake world.

Um-

That's why you use fake math with letters.

Congratulations to everybody out there in the Matrix. Good job.

You're good little goy slaves.

Oh, that's amazing
