> I wonder what someone like 3blue1brown would make of this.

Although I am not Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown creator), I would wager very good money that he would strongly approve.

I am a research mathematician, I do read Quanta, and I've been interviewed for them also. Overall my impression is that they do a good job of making at least something of contemporary research mathematics accessible to the general public. Most people have very little concept of what we do.

It is a notoriously hard task, it is a vitally important one, and it is one that too few people are attempting. Quanta does the best job of it of any publication I know, and for that I am very grateful.
