No and this is a bit of sore spot. I’ve tried to write such a thing many times, and every time my own nature beat me with a stick saying “this is not where your talents lie”. I can come up with a new math idea and explain it well immediately after, but when it comes to writing good exposition for ideas I already understand, no. Now that you mention it, maybe I should give it one more try, idk.
Hard disagree. A scene comes from an accumulation of mundane actions. The apparent divine-ness comes from the sudden collapse of the “I want this to exist, but surely not enough other people want this to exist, otherwise it would already exist...” equilibrium thanks to the emergence of a Schelling point.
I have no evidence for this at all, I would probably not be part of this scene, I just want to see people make things they love happen!

Need recreational mathematics magazine to reappear from ether. Need a scene.
So do I. Was just talking with jessicata yesterday and it brought back some feelings I hadn’t felt in awhile.
Happy to talk about AF stuff if you want. But a scene can’t be made to happen by willpower, I think. Some divine inspiration is required.
