For example, I've been reading in depth about reverse engineering lately and improving my web h4ck1ng skills by playing CTFs. And every night before bed, I read philosophy to stay sane. I'm currently reading "Negative Dialectics" by Theodor W. Adorno.

What about you? ancom-heart

        Nah, just want to remember the topic for when I get back to dealing with more interesting stuff like Lie groups and algebras.

        The end goal is to get into algebraic topology (and topological algebra).

        I don't tolerate how impure physicists are.
        Imagine the atrocity of actually applying math. /jk

            Homology theories are very beatiful, and I do want to recall the topic of de Rham cohomology.

            EDIT: autocorrect can't distinguish between words 'homology' and 'cohomology'.

              it starts out so beautiful but it can get so .... twisted https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/twisted+cohomology
