I'm not really up on a lot of Greek history but I seem to recall taking a course that touched a bit on the Pythagorean cult. It was while I was an undergrad many moons ago and my memory isn't what it once was but I seem to recall hearing something about this cult committing mass-suicide when they failed to figure out the origin of life or some such thing using mathematics. Like I say, it was a long time ago but when this video popped up in my feed that memory, convoluted as it is, popped up as well. Is anyone familiar with this? Some Pythagorean Jonestown back in the day? If you are, maybe you can help me connect the dots, if there are any to be connected. Thanks in advance.
