Listen "The Null Set"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to an in-depth discussion about The Null Set, just ∅, the void, the OG empty group. But don't be fooled—this mathematical bad boy is actually deep as deep can get... In this show, Mookie dives into the mystical, minimalistic beauty of the null set: where it came from (spoiler: ancient Greek mathematicians side-eyed it into existence), how it's used in modern mathematics (spoiler: everywhere), and why the big zero is the backbone of logic, set theory, and making math professors doubt YOUR sanity. Along the way, Mookie realizes that the null set is actually the best description for most human communication, which is either utterly vapid, or consists of sounds that contain no originality, creativity, or genuine meaning.
