Right now, Kurt Gödel. He was crazy, knew Einstein, and was into Logic. He proved a lot of important stuff about math.

Super genius. I don’t know much about him. He’s a physicist. I heard of the uncertainty principle though. Pretty cool stuff.

I like computer programming too. We should both program for a living. Math can be complicated and stressful. I admire the beauty of it though.

I forgot all math I learned at school
I can’t wrap my head around “complicated stuff” anymore like Godel’s incompleteness theorems or Alan Turing’s computability stuff like the halting problem in computer science. I was a C student in college mostly. I think front-end development MIGHT be doable for me someday. I just got to figure things out and get better.

Rene Descartes. The dude was a riot at parties, the life of the party. He would get drunk and do hilarious, dead-on impressions of Copernicus and Newton being difficult when they couldn’t find a barber anywhere.

What about John Nash? Didn’t he invent some type of mathmatics?

Gosh. I’m not sure. Though I cannot name anyone specific I think fractals are the bomb.
You know John Nash. The famous schizophrenic.
