|content=I have waited 55 years to see the richest man in the world stick it to “The Richest Man...IN THE WORLD!”
Also: imagine that the world’s wealthiest person can solve differential equations and knows what a Lagrangian is. Love this.
Mazal tov to @elonmusk for not giving a shit.

|content=Huh. I also have a preference for Hamilton due to geometric quantization using pre-quantum line bundles to explain Heisenberg (cf Woodhouse). Legendre &amp; [[Richard Feynman|Feynman]] not withstanding.
In LA. We should talk “beyond Mars” before 4/1. I could really use your..uh..brain. Fine either way.

|content=It’s tough when you see patterns invisible to the 🌎. Ask any tall woman, and she will tell you all the comments she hears every day. Or any Sikh wearing a Turban. Or any soul who is blind. Or any gay couple with kids..
Brian is well aware of Neil’s hard work. Weird interchange.

|content=Neil deGrasse Tyson is picking on the wrong guy.
[[Richard Feynman]] was remarked upon as being very articulate &amp; seemingly naturally gifted at everything (other than Piano), and famously had great Rhythm. Now what if he had been black?
I am sure Neil gets a lot of BS. Not from BK.

|content=They were smart. We were smart. They had Spassky, We had Fischer.  They had Shostakovich, we had Van Cliburn. Vysotsky v Dylan. Landau v Feynman.
That was a long time ago now.
Oddly, some things now actually make me miss the Cold War with Soviet Russia:

|content=It’s as if we, the U.S., hate being the worlds premier homegrown scientific community. All it takes is reversing self inflicted damage. That’s it. That’s all.
We seem to hate our own scientists.
It makes no sense. At least to me.

|content=Yes. I’m saying that the Jim Simons, Richard Feynman, Jim Watson, Steven Weinberg, Sidney Coleman, Ken Arrow, Linus Pauling, Isadore Singer, Joshua Lederberg, Steve Smale, Paul Samuelson, Mark Ptashne, John Milnor, model of homegrown American scientific genius is being destroyed.

|content=Is anyone concerned about this? It sure doesn’t seem it.
Science needs academic freedom. It needs resources. It needs independence.
Fauci and Collins would have been impossible if we were healthy.
It is not safe to make scientists into mere employees.
It’s way too dangerous.
