JSH: So math people fake it

Most mathematicians stay away from applied mathematics because they lie. They fake it.

The real world is the harshest judge so instead they have a world that is all about taking people's word.

If you could work as a professor without ever accomplishing anything that is correct but keep your job because none of the other professors or researchers in your field had either, and you just published papers that LOOKED a certain way, which your group would proclaim as being important, why wouldn't you?

Money for nothing.

Easy money. Just learn what is to you gobbledy-gook that gets you paid, and drive on.

It's a cruel world, right? If that "pure" math were important people would catch you, right?

Technology keeps progressing, so why does it matter if number theorists lie about primes, and lie about claims of proving this or that?

Who does it really hurt, right?

Put these people back in history though and let them destroy the underpinnings of algebra or calculus, or geometry.

And they'd take away this present.

I suggest to you that by them blocking the real mathematical research that we do not know where all of it could lead, they destroy the future.

Publish or perish?

How about publish and perish the human race?
