I feel like I'm going crazy can anyone tell me if this is a real creature? I suspect this is an AI generated image as it's breaking my brain.

Curvature of the body segments suggest the head is on the right, but the shield like segment seems like it could be a head. There are 8 legs/ antennae on the upper side, but 10 on the lower side but ... isopods have 14 legs and two antennae.

WHAT IS THIS

feel like I'm having a stroke looking at this.

update: it's a water isopod

@futurebird Also it seems to me there are different magnifications mixed up in the back & foreground

Does anyone know of a good book or biography of Cantor? I've always found the way his struggles with mental illness were discussed to be a little ... flip.

"He thought about infinity too much and went CRAZY"

It's reductive, and plays into the mystique and fear-mongering around mathematics. (That acts as a kind of gatekeeping and is bad.) While stigmatizing and abstracting mental illness.
