I think it's bad if you report on these subjects like you're having Chinese balls in place. Especially if you're going to have the wallpaper behind you imitating books.
He used to show up at his colleagues' doorsteps and declare: "My brain is open!."
He is the reason why my father warned me off number theory!
ritalin AND amphetamines???? now thats just crazy
6:15 Aberdeen has the A sound of Apple
also, wow! erdos spent time at my uni
It’s important for security agencies to have threats to follow. Otherwise why would they exist. This is why they often follow CEOs of mega businesses who seek to control governments, pulling strings in the background. Ironic comment!
An apolitical mathematician, paint me surprized
Valeu!

A genius that cannot life…… that's me without the genius lol.
I’ve never heard of this man in my life but I watched this video this evening and then a few hours later I started listening to an episode of comedy podcast from 3 years ago and a host brought him up. There are hundreds of episodes of this podcast that I’m listening to in order and I happened to be up to the one where the guy I just saw a video about is briefly mentioned??
Math is mostly Greek nonsense.. logic on the other hand..
While in college in the 1960s, I had a mathematics professor from Poland, I am by no means a mathematical person, but he was one of the most interesting people I dealt with in college. And yes he was a bit quirky.
Plot Twist Update: personal letters written by Erdos were recently discovered, showing him not only to be a spy, but to be a double-agent. This fact was so cleverly disguised that not even his spy handlers were aware at the time.
Never was really interested in Erdos. With some mathematicians I feel a 'mystical' connection to them. His big ego tended to steam roller over others ,but I don't know that much about him really. He was, I am told, a great genius and so that counts. Some people naturally attract you while others I find repellant. Oppenheimer was treated much worse by the American government.
Die Audiospur Deutsch ist nicht gut.
Those books look pretty intriguing. If you did a video about them, I would watch it.
Truly the Diogenes of mathematics
maybe his eccentricity was his cover
Me: [clicks on random interesting video on the homepage] ERMAGERSH! IS THAT TOBY FROM JETLAG! [checks channel] TIBBIES!
Sounds like he was a proper scrounger but he got away with it because he was famous.
Fascinating story! ❤
He used 1% of his brain capacity for the basic minimum to survive and the 99% left for maths 😂
Erdős number? 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon guy? but first, and That guy?
That "I object to both Iron Curtains, both Joe's (USSR) and Sam's (USA)." quote is so badass, and demonstrates perfectly what kind of person this man was: he held no illusions, no mental allegiances, he saw things from a big-picture perspective and was as close as is humanly possible to being sincerely objective: in other words, a mental hero, to uphold that perspective throughout the whole Cold War culture of propaganda as not merely as the desperate yell for help during wartime, but as a permanent fixture of American life, and ultimately over time and generations, as the normalized reality and "history" that the vast majority believe without question; and with any attempts to talk about real history met with violent paroxysms of reactionary hatred towards sincere intellectual inquiry (aka, "woke woke woke woke woke").
benzedrine is also just amphetamine so when it said he used ritalin or benzedrine, it was also referring to amphetamines there.
Para você loira Tibees é excelente seus estudos e exemplos são ótimos seja assim para sempre e sempre mude o raciocínio e pensamento até o final da vida ❤❤❤❤uma boa noite de sábado dia 11 de janeiro de 2025 horas 20:22 🕙.
Are you a spy, Toby, defending a potential spy like that?
The Wikipedia list is limited to the people who have their own Wikipedia pages. Very far from the list of all people with Erdos number at most 3
Only person with the Erdos number of 0.
Erdös sounds like regular higly non-functional austisic DJ EW.
Very good 👍
