    Specifically, the thing that exists is a regular homotopy of immersions from the standard embedding to its opposite. The “rules” aren’t supposed to be self evident, they’re part of a broader context in topology

        Yeah, basic graduate level math is a lot more useful than whatever you do with your life to warrant such an attitude.

          Oh really? Let’s try a thought experiment, shall we?

          In Universe A, let’s round up everyone with at least a master’s degree in math and shoot them.

          In Universe B, let’s round up all the mechanics and shoot them.

          Which one goes to shit faster?
