JSH: Shattering power
Ok, so they're stupid. But we're talking about people who are really actors playing at being mathematicians in a world that hasn't seen a major mathematical discoverer in a long time.
Ancient mathematicians are just those people they read about in books.
No one takes it seriously, right? Not really, right?
But Mathematics built human civilization.
It is the most powerful discipline on the planet.
Without it you do not have music, you do not have guns, you do not have planes, you do not have refrigerators, you do not have nuclear weapons.
There is no way that you stop a major mathematical discoverer. It has never been done. It cannot be done indefinitely.
It is simply suicidal to try.
