So typical of mathematicians to steal credits from philosophy ;)

A brilliant example of why every come-back from the less privileged always wins (a lesson embedded in every Marxist, feminist, racist and (pick your subjugated creed) epistemology). But also why the privileged never learn; they have no clue (and have no incitement to learn).

Did Jimmy actually bother to look what kind of research gets funding in competition with philosophy? No, he's just hooked on the widespread myth: don't bother if you're not a genius. Who's the philosophical genius? Aristotle: slave souls; Leibniz: predetermined harmony...

Well, I'll be sure to bring my fancy Teva sandals for next weeks conference in Siegen Germany!

Kinda suspect the Italians may have an opinion on whether everything called "Pizza" in Norway or anywhere outside Italy, really is pizza. Would love to see the outcome of a poll applying strict Italian criteria of what really is pizza.
