@johncarlosbaez But I think the requirement could be beefed up a little bit. I think if one is never having moments of overwhelming awe and profound frustration it's probably a bad sign. But what do I know.

@johncarlosbaez I didn't say it was a high bar! Just a necessary condition.

This is like Popper's falsifiability criterion but for whether or not one is "doing good mathematics."

It seems to me that a necessary part of doing "good" mathematics is being frequently reminded of how frighteningly little one knows about how any of this stuff works. If one is just constantly feeling like things are working out very nicely and this is all going swimmingly and makes perfect sense then a change of direction may be indicated.

@pwr2dppl Yeah this seems a little bit tricky in the sense that now someone can follow you because they like some specific thing you do (e.g. math) and entirely block out the other parts of your existence (e.g. activism).

@ColinTheMathmo what, if anything, is the process for dealing with people repeatedly ignoring this sort of thing, or not being open to feedback about it?

@ColinTheMathmo @rcorless Yeah definitely one thing that's difficult for me is that despite being pretty supportive of such things, I'm not sure I can possibly remember to CW everything that might need a CW. But maybe it will become habit after a time.

It feels very unlikely to me that the influx from Twitter is going to do things like regularly use CW's. 😬

Recently learned: the Barr-Beck Theorem should really only be called Beck's Monadicity Theorem. Tell your friends!!

On Twitter, someone named Varkor linked me to this. So maybe I should thank @varkor on Mathstodon?

@seano I think this strongly depends on the student. If you have fixed interests then I think it can be really hard to have an advisor who's not super into those things, unless you're open to maybe changing directions a little bit. However, if you're really good at working independently, it doesn't matter as much, and yeah it might be nice to have some variety around.
