'everything is fire'
Weird rabbit hole I'm going down here from that. René Descartes.

So let's look at this dude
Sounds like a typical nerd until you get here
an episode of exploding head syndrome? What is that about, how do they even know, lets check there is a note

That's all good and well and so is exploding head syndrome but ' By the time he exited the room, Descartes had formulated analytic geometry and the idea of applying the mathematical method to philosophy.' is not something that happens every day or is it?
They talk about the twilight period between wakefulness and sleep and yup that is the time where you see shit and you can hear stuff and learn to do so.
EHS, a disorder "A disorder is an abnormal physical or mental condition that disrupts normal bodily functions, often causing significant distress, impairment, or dysfunction in daily life"
'connected the previously separate fields of geometry and algebra into analytic geometry.' is one heck of an disorder to have

Quote:René Descartes (/deɪˈkɑːrt/ day-KART, also /ˈdeɪkɑːrt/ DAY-kart;[2][3] French: [ʁəne dekaʁt] ⓘ; 31 March 1596 – 11 February 1650) was a French philosopher, scientist, and mathematician, widely considered a seminal figure in the emergence of modern philosophy and science. Mathematics was paramount to his method of inquiry, and he connected the previously separate fields of geometry and algebra into analytic geometry.

Quote:According to Adrien Baillet, on the night of 10–11 November 1619 (St. Martin's Day), while stationed in Neuburg an der Donau, Descartes shut himself in a room with an "oven" (probably a cocklestove)[19] to escape the cold. While within, he had three dreams,[20] and believed that a divine spirit revealed to him a new philosophy. The second dream may have been an episode of exploding head syndrome, in which loud noise is imagined.[21] By the time he exited the room, Descartes had formulated analytic geometry and the idea of applying the mathematical method to philosophy. He concluded from these visions that the pursuit of science would prove to be, for him, the pursuit of true wisdom and a central part of his life's work.[22][23]

Quote:Above all, he was among the first scientists who believed that the soul should be subject to scientific investigation. He challenged the views of his contemporaries that the soul was divine, thus religious authorities regarded his books as dangerous.[92] Descartes's writings went on to form the basis for theories on emotions and how cognitive evaluations were translated into affective processes. Descartes believed the brain resembled a working machine and that mathematics, and mechanics could explain complicated processes in it
