I personally believe we live within a historiographical paradigm that blindspots large fundamental parts of intellectual history because it has been deemed to be too "philosophical" or "religious" unfortunately therefore ignoring the undercurrents or foundations of math and science which are very much "alchemical", "esoteric", "spiritual" or straight up weird.

Today's list based interfacing with the internet, the nature of bite sized information surfing, the resulting fuzzy attention, and the property-based worldview makes it very difficult to transcend this paradigm of mechanical / single-threaded cognition without crossing some pretty deep and frightening oceans so to speak.

Most importantly _every one_ of the great forefathers of thought were entangled in philosophical and mystical thinking which were not _only_ "silly magical endeavours" only worthy of X century but actually central to their worldview and absolutely central to the development of "how the western world is" today.
Also most of them were polymaths, and so much more intelligent and broad scoped than what we give them credit for. That we see pop cultural icons like Neil Degrasse Tyson tweet that Philosophy is not a real science and is basically "stupid" is telling and a monumental crime against the history of "thought" in my eyes.

Anyway I highly recommend the very scientific and very well made podcast the "Secret History Of Western Esotericism" for a deep dive into the genealogy of all of western thought that shakes things up a bit while giving a nice broad overview of philosophy from before the greeks until today : https://shwep.net

As a huge history/philosophy/math buff myself I think the world is in serious need of new historical paradigm that acknowledges that the borders between what we call Math/Philosophy/Science/Religion/Language is way more fluid than what we currently have written in our history books, and that such a reconnection to the historical roots of philosophy would be like reattaching humanity's umbilical cord after trying to separate our selfs too early from both nature and history somewhere after the enlightenment.

I have struggled a bit with what I would call "coding brain" which makes it harder for me to appreciate abstract poetry or the improvisational character of social relations after a whole day of deep coding or deep math. Think Julian Jaynes crazy theories, something to do with brainwaves or left and right halves. I really have no idea why you get as locked in as you do, it's probably an evolutionary mechanism so you don't go crazy, something that shamans, philosophers and mathematicians have in common.

If you force yourself (which almost no one does) to read through great poetry for a whole day, your reality tunnel begins to change from box-like to more fluid synchronistic, associative etc.
Then take it one step further and begin to read "difficult" philosophy like Heidegger, Deleuze, or Kant, - really contemplate what they are saying while you read slowly (even less people do this) - and I promise you a whole new world will open up. Also try to develop visual / spatial thinking like Euclid to Einstein also employed.
New modes of thinking get unlocked to use a modern methaphor.

Sounds a bit crazy, but anyway that's where philosophy, math, poetry and thinking in general get real interesting!
