"He was a Cambridge fellow on a scholarship and, supposedly, one of the most brilliant minds in his field."


"He held a press conference."


"There was a huge media blitz."


"Fermat's last theorem proven true!" read the headlines.


"So he went back and, after several months, managed to scrape up another proof using ideas from another mathematician in Japan, for God's sake. Said mathematician was in a completely unrelated field of mathematics."


"He then signed with relief, thinking his theory was safe."


That is, until this most recent proof was also busted, or proven to be untrue."


"Did the newspapers blare out the following?"


"Famous mathematician's proof of Fermat's last theorem proven untrue!"


"No."


"In fact, to this day, and as far as the public is concerned, Fermat's last theorem is dead and belongs to history."


We may never know what the meaning of this is.


"Unless you sift the facts from the bullshit, and..."


"... unless you do enough research to know that your sources are accurate, you may be so completely wrong in what you assume that you will be, for all intents and purposes, a completely igorant and uneducated fool who only reads the headlines and never follows up on the issue."


"However, never do they acknowledge which discoveries are later found to be a total sham or differentiate them from those which are actually correct.


"But you, you lazy, good-for-nothing spoiled brat, whine about this, pouting, "It's too hard to look up data!". In reality, it is not hard. You are merely looking for a good excuse to stay lazy and ignorant and stupid. To each his own..."

Philisophically, what do you think of "turn, turn, turn"?

It is not worthy to mention two famous books you have never read? iIt is not worthy to mention two of the most famous modern philosophers of the 20th Century?

It is not worthy to rub it in your face that none of you have any imagination?

It is not worthy to remind you that all of you are immature?

One challenge and nothing but lame excuses... all trying desperately trying to cover up....what? That none of you could imagine a brave new world?

I'll give you a hint.... read both of those books: tell me if you find any mention of money in either of them....
