I was never a “math kid” in school, so I appreciate this deeply philosophical look at the invention of mathematics as explained to us by the always-amazing PBS Idea Channel.

Hopefully Mike Rugnetta and crew will use this video as a jumping off point for other commonly asked stoner questions such as “What if the color blue that  I see and the color blue that you see are different colors?” and “Do you guys see my hand right now? My hand is weird, right?”
