Once that minor Rosetta Stone has been achieved, the subtle nuances of Nietzsche aren't too far behind. (OK, so "Urggle-koo-ARAN-broack" means "not equal to..." Now we're getting somewhere!)
Dec 23, 2017 at 7:06	comment	added	rek		The concept or trope of math as a universal "language" does not posit that counting or doing math is the goal, but that it is a common reference from which non-mathematical communication can be built.
