Have to figure in arithmetic. I have an awful time with MEST arithmetic -- just horrible -- just terrible. Sixteen weeks. Okay? That's very interesting. I have to completely change reality to get a MEST arithmetical thing. You see, MEST arithmetic doesn't happen to be real -- I mean, happen to be actual. It's real. Fascinating. "
Yup. Fascinating that math becomes harder the more exterior you are.

The opposite is an autistic math genius, who is all-brain and no-exterior.

My son's a math genius, and he ain't autistic. He's quite in touch with the people around him, and quite articulate about his emotions.

This is a false dichotomy, and I have heard no reasons why math would be harder if you were exterior. Sounds like bullshit to me.

If I went exterior with full perception the last thing I'd want to do is maths calculations.
