What is the deepest/most impactful statement that you have ever seen?

For me:

e^(pi*i)+1=0 - I have no idea what it means, and I’m pretty sure no one else does, either, but it is the most profound thing that I have ever seen in my life.

The Randian tautology, A=A.

This is the wisdom I missed out on by studying STEM and getting a real job btw:

e=mc^2 + AI

>A is A
whenever I see a "philosopher" use this phrase I immediately stop reading

I had never read anything by Rand because I always heard she was retarded. That's beyond my wildest imaginings. "A thing is a thing, that means it is what it is, all political ideologies I don't like boil down to denying that things are what they are, only we, the objectivists, know that a thing is what it is. The others, the Bad Ones, deny that A is A - they deny that Man is Man! For if A=A, it follows that man IS something, or else, be it said howsoever, he would not BE a man, and then A!=A" It's like self-parody.

Euler's identity is so beautiful bros, I don't know how anyone can look at it and deny that a supreme Mind created the univserse

It just comes from plugging in values of the taylor series. It's really not that big of a deal.

This retard ruined my life when I was 17. After having read Fear and Trembling, I thought that confessing to a girl with which I had zero chance (practising muslim) was a noble leap of faith. Probably I was a worse retard than him, but was he was a retard anyway, you just have to read his story with Regine Olsen.

Not a statement I saw but I did the math and ~7% of all people who have ever existed are currently alive right now. That shifted my perspective on things. Deep time and all.

that sets so many limitations on what can be achieved with imagination - the seed of the tree - especially for childhood

>>24493656
I'd be very intrigued if I found somebody going to great pains to stress that A is *probably* A.
