Then you have this very weird thing, which is...

Eugene Wigner famously talked about the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics and the physical sciences.

Many of us have had that for the last 50 years since Simons and Yang.

And then there's also this thing which people associate with Max Tegmark, which is older, which is the mathematical universe that

the math is the basis that there is a point at which the map becomes the territory to borrow from our friends in the psychedelic community.

But what you were doing when you were lecturing is terrible.

It's really, really bad because you have points and by going over them and saying the super dramatic thing,

You are, in fact, causing people who don't trust Tony Fauci, let's say, because Tony Fauci shouldn't be trusted, to say maybe we can't trust mathematics.

Now, I have a lot of competitors, enemies, people I really don't like.

I have stalkers who actually stalk my family and interfere in my personal life who have PhDs.

Yeah.

My level of disagreement with them about the physical universe and the mathematical universe is essentially zero up to 1973.

We don't really start to see a breakdown in the community of science, I think, until the 1980s.

Well, money and power.

Money and power.
