Just The Tip Of The Mathematical Sanity Iceberg

The mathematical hierarchy of mental stability! What starts as a neat diagram of number systems quickly spirals into an existential crisis. Natural numbers (N) are the innocent childhood counting numbers. Integers (Z) add negative numbers—hello, debt and temperature below zero. Rational numbers (Q) bring fractions into our lives, and Real numbers (R) add irrational chaos like π that never ends.

But then we venture into Complex numbers with their "imaginary" components, and suddenly mathematics is questioning reality itself. The deeper you go into math, the more your sanity gets tested. The question marks by the imaginary numbers section perfectly capture that moment when your brain breaks during a 3 AM study session.

Math professors everywhere are nodding knowingly while reaching for their anxiety medication.
