'Quick Weekend Project' Meme Nails the Absurdity of Learning Formal Systems
zetalyrae · x · 2026-11-11
A Rick and Morty meme retweeted by zetalyrae: Rick announces "Let's learn formal systems. In and out, quick weekend project," and the next panel shows Morty drowning under a pile of hardcore textbooks — Frege's Begriffsschrift, Shoenfield's Mathematical Logic, Mendelson, Metamath, Practical Foundations for Programming Languages, and Lean's set.mm file.
The image is circulating in AI/PL circles, hitting a nerve with anyone who has tried to self-study type theory and formal proofs over a weekend.
