> This doesn't make sense to a typical English speaker

You read the words like they were generated by an AI - ie, empty words which did not make sense to you. ie, you did not derive meaning from it.

But for me, I derived meaning from this essay. Regardless of how the text was generated, I was able to relate it to some of my own insights.

For instance..

>Pascal used to distinguish between geometric and subtle minds (sensibilities). >The geometric mind works through axioms and deductions, step by step, like a >compiler. The subtle mind grasps a situation holistically, reading context, >feeling the weight of unspoken constraints, sensing what a room will and won’t >tolerate.

I read this as saying that as humans we have a "subtle" sense that can perceive the chaos out there and then derive patterns from that chaos and be able to symbolize them to derive theories of that chaos via the geometric mind. For example, the sense or feeling of space is symbolized into euclidean geometry. To me, this is a deep insight, and I did not know Pascal called it out. So, I learned something from this essay.
