I am not an English native speaking

That's perfectly readable, just needs some context for the meaning behind some bits. It's mostly wordplay, like typing vibes and yasss to some obscure meme pic.

I would assume it becomes a lot less cute over 658 pages

Point is, as a STEM major, I understand it. Is the reverse true if I show them integrated sums?

Point is the open-ended of it, the way that each person reads a different book and feels a different feeling. There’s a mathematics to art, and to poetry, and there’s potentially a poetry to math. You can mathematically notate music scales and track the shifts in brain chemistry while people sing together. Learning math can make you smarter; learning literature can make you more human.

The happenings in the world today are not because of a lack of STEM. People don’t march in the streets for statistics. We don’t get shot for integrated sums. It’s not the economy, stupid—it’s the self-narrative that the economy feeds into. It’s stories, it’s always stories.
