The Language Of Logic

[unspeakablehorror]

There's something I find very soothing about math, even when it frustrates me. I think it's just that it's a discipline where logic isn't only valued, it's required. It's not like a debate, where people regularly succeed through sophistry and lies. If you speak a mistruth to the universe in its own language, no matter how eloquent or how confident or how much you believe that lie, it will still tell you 'no'. You cannot move it to believe an untruth, no matter how passionately spoken.
