Poor Grigory might regret not making the publication anonymous now that he is being harassed by those parasites (e.g. those news reporters in the youtube video.)
A lot of people do not understand someone wanting to be a recluse. In my environment there are some introverts and not being one I've been told I make them uncomfortable by not understanding their space.
My thoughts exactly. I was shocked to see that video; it is completely not necessary for the context of the article and seems to be added so the whole article did not consist of a few lines of text.
I thought the explanation of the conjecture was quite good, but I already know about it. I'd be interested to know if others here found it enlightening. Or not.
Not much, imo. This is like science on TV in general: entertaining, shallow, and so long that you lose track of the subject. It could have been explained in one minute with 5 lines of text and two figures.
Well I was being a little tongue-in-cheek, but Kaczynski was also a smart, talented mathematician who also expressed desire to secede from "normal" society.
