@robinhouston * I love those Conan Wu illustrations. * I spent a lot of time in that Berkeley math building in that era; I have mostly positive memories, despite the narrative given. * When should math be as big as a planet / solar system / galaxy / galactic cluster / supercluster ? * People have, of course, looked at very small mathematics somewhat by zooming in a lot, with great difficulty, on the Mandelbrot set...oh, he brings up Mandelbrot. Hmm, but didn't make my little point about it. * Those are very cool talk slides. They deserve to be expanded into a book!!!
