Projective geometry Memes

The ultimate IQ bell curve meme for geometry nerds! The low IQ folks and high IQ mathematicians calmly agree "the green lines are parallel" (technically correct in Euclidean geometry). Meanwhile, the average IQ person is having an existential meltdown because they're fixated on the visual intersection. What we're seeing is the beautiful paradox of non-Euclidean vs. Euclidean geometry. Those green lines? In projective geometry they're parallel, despite what your eyeballs are screaming at you. The true galaxy brains know that parallel lines meet at infinity in projective space, but they don't actually "intersect" in the conventional sense. This is why mathematicians can sleep peacefully while the rest of us have nightmares about intersecting parallel lines.
