Wow, I never heard of this. This is fascinating. It's already hard to read papers from the early 1950s due to lack of standard notation, must have been even harder to communicate ideas 500 years ago in this way.
The Veritasium story about not publishing a groundbreaking result to keep it as a wildcard is new to me too. I usually rush to get anything published, even when much less impactful. On a side note, this is one of the better Veritasium videos you linked there, anyone hesitating to watch it, please do.
One Cardano has contributed to society, after all.

(Hoskinson should apologize on his knees for tarnishing such a great name...)
It's impressive what the mind is capable of under constraints. In the aerospace engineering field we still marvel at how the actual f*k where they able to send a men to the moon in the 60's with pen, paper and sliding rulers as calculators. I feel I can't breathe if I have to draw line having no CAD at hand.
