Euclid is purported to have told Pharaoh, "there is no royal road to geometry". What he meant was that geometry IS the royal road itself. Likewise, there is no shortcut to mathematics, because mathematics IS the shortcut.

The literary mind comprehends that some important truths about the human condition can only be truly expressed by myth. As the great mathematician, Blaise Pascal, observed: "the heart has its reasons that the mind does not know".

Just because something is a myth doesn't mean that it's not true.

Although technology is largely neutral and the ethics of technology are based on human choices, some technologies are more conducive to promoting freedom than others. I refer to such technologies broadly as liberative technology (#libtech). Decentralized and federated services like the #fediverse are one form of libtech, as is truly decentralized #cryptocurrency like #cardano.
