He wasn't. >Rota, in describing von Neumann's relationship with his friend Stanislaw Ulam, wrote that von Neumann had "deep-seated and recurring self-doubts".

Johnny had a virtuosity in following complicated reasoning and had supreme insights, yet he perhaps felt he did have the gift for seemingly irrational proofs and theorems or intuitive insights that came from nowhere.
He was a brainlet whose legacy is propped up by hagiographic accounts and bullshit anecdotes that only his close friends can attest to.
nah, they all do stuff systematically and know their crafts deeply. it reminds me of the boomer in zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, the the care about doing things the right way and taking your time to make sure its correct. Instead of doing all that i glance at my phone and take short cuts
science institute drama?
Probably that von Neumann is one of the most lizardbrained troglodytes that ever lived and one of the chief architects of cold war brain disease.
How so? I always respected von Neumann for his grim Machiavellian dystopian perspectives on hue man vs AI future relationships.
He is a GrothendieckChad.
just another episode of humanitiesgay seething about stembro
Cormac didn't even go to college.
he fellates mathematicians, just seems to be of the opinion that von neumann was nothing special
He wasn't.

The discrepancy between the greentexted quote and your take on it is absurd.
I presume you are an anti-semite or something. Only fanatism could lead to this level of moronation.

He doesn't really respect Russel either because Russel wanted to be popular and quit math
all of cormacs main characters are as careful and competent as i wish i was. but i'm too lazy and also stupid
Most of his characters are dumb and illiterate though.

same. but i'd rather be silly and inept than be a mccarthyian hero in a mccarthyian world
I don't know, Suttree pretty much had life figured out to a point where I envy his stoicism.
>von neumann? thats not literature
>Economic game theory? That's not science.
