@ZachWeinersmith I always liked the escalating order of discovery*: 1 + x = 1? Zero 1 + x = 0? Negative numbers 3 * x = 1? Rational numbers x * x = 2? Irrational numbers x * x = -1? Imaginary numbers x * y - y * x = 1? Quaternions (xy)z - x(yz) = 1? Octonions where every step is a 🤯. (*or invention if you will)
