dude probably got pissed about the politics involved in higher education
at his age when he published this stuff no one would give him any respect at all. it looked like he gave some talks but only published a couple of things = you’re nobody in higher education
I just read the first page… but I’m guessing most of these guys commenting never even took Calc 1 and this guy took Calc 1 and all the others and made it his bitch
You realize his reasoning is similar to SRK’s for NOT wanting to join MLG right? MLG would pay out a shit ton of money but we told them to go fuck themselves because of last time. Almost the same situation except this guy can probably solve anything you give to him. We just hit a bunch of buttons and play mind games with pixels and blocks on a screen. I’d think that if he wanted money, all he’d have to do is say “Hey, let me do this for you” at a company and he’d get paid.
Edit: I’m not sayin SRK is stupid or dumb with numbers but seriously, calling him stupid because he turned down money is dumb. Some people are happy with their lives.
he has a point. there are many in academia who want to exploit talented and gifted people, to ends that are less than noble. he solved it for love/fascination of the sciences, but is unwilling to compromise his beliefs/integrity.
he may be poor and in squalor, but at least he has his soul.
You kidding? Have you heard of Vladimir Putin? The man is a super hero. Or super villain. Or whatever. But that bastard has super powers. He can and will stop anyone with the help of Zangief from taking “Mother Russia” in any form.
