it's been a long time since i read about it, but iirc they treat it as a grand revelation rather than math that's been known for over a century, overclaim scope ("reformulate ALL of physics in geometric algebra"), perhaps also some suppression narratives about gibbs/heaviside "winning" over clifford

among some engineers/physicists, there's some cultish fanaticism over the clifford algebra, because it's a better formalism that unifies the cross product, rotations and reflections, quaternions, etc. but the fanatics are a bit too conspiratorial about it

if one of your follows is following 5000 people, you're (proportionally, not absolutely) less likely to find the candidate in their following list. another approach is to only search the following lists of mutuals the user has recently interacted with

something that might solve this and also the speed:
instead of sampling every follow's follows (which is a superquadratic[1] nightmare drip-fed through rate-limited network IO), sort follows by number of following and only scan the following list of those with sufficiently low numbers

in any case, you should watch satoshi kon movies if you liked 'your name'. they have a similar level of visual and aural beauty but with something to actually say. Paprika is a better Inception, Perfect Blue is very lynchian if you like that sort of thing
