    What makes you think I smoked anything?
    Why couldn’t it be… edibles? :-P
    And don’t get me started on the topologies and symmetries of fields in quantum mechanics!

    But seriously, I enjoy letting the mind take me for a nice long ride, using an artifact to trace connections to other things throughout history, and in this case it’s the math of maps, their topologies.
    Random topics on Lemmy sometimes lighting up my mind like a Christmas tree.

    Also trying a little to get into the mindset of the era when some of these things were being cooked up and explored, shift perspective as best I can, from where and when I am. It’s incomplete, but it’s still fun. I probably got this type of “pinball narrative” from James Burke and his old history shows Connections and The Day The Earth Changed.
