He is bipolar by his own admission. I would add that he is also somewhat delusional. He really believes humans will settle on Mars. 😂🤣
I hope he will be on the first suicide trip to Mars, but I think he knows that he won't. And yes, all that money now - he could spend it on his lusts and anything else his heart desires.
@w0jazbas@fermatslibrary@w0jazbas I can't same the same about you although I have met many morons of your calibre, and I doubt you will be the last. Fuck off.
This is hagiography, not history, and Fermat's Library ought to know the difference.
The narrative is constructed entirely around drama — the unprepared genius, the impossible-to-impress examiner, the posthumous vindication, Einstein arriving sixty-one years later like a second coming. It reads like a Hollywood pitch. What it does not do is examine whether Riemann's foundational claims were actually correct, nor does it acknowledge that an intelligent math academic can have serious gaps in his knowledge.
And Riemann did have serious gaps.
He worked at a moment when the foundations of analysis and geometry were in genuine flux. Cauchy had recently attempted to formalise limits, Weierstrass was still developing his epsilon-delta apparatus, and the relationship between arithmetic, geometry, and continuous magnitude was unresolved. Riemann inherited all of these tensions and built impressively on top of them — but building impressively on a shaky foundation does not stabilise the foundation.
He did not clearly distinguish between geometric magnitude and number. The conflation was already deeply embedded in the tradition he inherited from Descartes and Euler, and he worked with real numbers as though their foundations were settled - in actual fact he never touched anything but rational numbers and no other human has either. They were not — and the subsequent attempts by Dedekind and Cantor to settle them introduced precisely the kind of foundational corruption that has plagued mathematics ever since. Riemann cannot be blamed for what Dedekind did, but he did nothing to prevent it, because he did not see the problem.
His treatment of continuous manifolds assumes a great deal about what continuity means without grounding it geometrically. The notion of a differentiable manifold slides past questions that a rigorous geometer would have been compelled to answer. And his Habilitation lecture, impressive as a conceptual provocation to some — space might be curved, measurement is empirical — lacked the foundational rigour that such claims demanded. He was gesturing at a framework rather than establishing one.
Now consider what Fermat's Library is actually celebrating. Riemann argued that the geometry of space is not given in advance and that only measurement can decide its curvature. This is presented as revolutionary insight. But notice what is smuggled in without examination — the assumption that space is a mathematical object of the kind Riemann's framework describes, that his notion of manifold and metric are the correct foundational categories, and that Einstein's subsequent use of this apparatus confirms the foundations rather than merely the utility of the formalism.
Einstein needed Riemannian geometry as a computational tool. That is not the same as vindicating Riemann's foundations. A hammer that builds a crooked house is still useful for building — that does not mean the blueprint was sound.
Furthermore, the detail that Riemann used almost no formulas because he was addressing a philosophy faculty is presented as a virtue. In fact it meant his foundational claims went largely unscrutinised on the night. Gauss's admiration — the emotional centrepiece of this piece — was the reaction of one genius to another's audacity, not a rigorous verification.
What Fermat's Library is really selling is the romantic myth of the solitary visionary vindicated by history. That myth serves institutional mathematics well — it suggests the system eventually recognises genius — whilst carefully avoiding any examination of what was actually claimed and whether it was actually true. Riemann was intelligent, and that intelligence deserves honest treatment: acknowledgement of his genuine insights alongside clear-eyed recognition of the foundational gaps he neither resolved nor recognised. Hagiography serves neither Riemann nor mathematics.
This clueless idiot Riemann didn't even understand what a number is - he represents almost every one of YOU.
A number is a NAME given to a MEASURE that describes a RATIO of MAGNITUDES, where said ratio has QUOTIENTNESS (πηλικότητά - Book V, Definition 3 of Elements).
A magnitude is not a number!
People are bad at math because their math educators are clueless morons.
Vero? Vediamo.
Sei tu che hai tirato fuori Riemann, non io. Se il passo non parlava di numeri, perché l'hai citato? Rispondi a questo prima di fare la lista.
"Progressi fatti in materia di numeri reali" — quali progressi, esattamente? Il fatto che nessuno dei tuoi colleghi mitmatici sa definire cos'è un numero? Che l'epsilon-delta è una scappatoia logica mascherata da rigore? Questi non sono progressi — sono elaborazioni di un fondamento marcio.
Non ho capito la citazione? Dimostralo. Riga per riga. Oppure ammetti che stai ripetendo quello che ti hanno detto di pensare.
Offendo? Sì. Perché la mediocrità travestita da autorità merita esattamente questo trattamento. Quando porti un argomento vero, ricevi una risposta vera. Quando porti una lista numerata senza sostanza, ricevi il disprezzo che merita.
Prima di concederti il lusso di criticare il mio lavoro, prova a rispondere a una domanda semplice: cos'è un numero? Non una definizione presa da un libro. La tua. Se non puoi rispondere, non hai niente da dire.
You speak of hubris whilst demonstrating you have not read a single word of my critique. Where, precisely, have I misunderstood Riemann? Quote the passage. Show the error. You cannot, because you have not looked.
I will tell you what hubris actually looks like: it is a mythmatician who cannot define what a number is, cannot explain why calculus works without appealing to limits that were never rigorously defined, and cannot answer a straight geometric question — yet wraps himself in the authority of Riemann's name as though proximity to greatness were an argument.
Riemann was a genuinely great mathematician working within a tradition that had already made foundational errors — errors introduced long before him, by the conflation of magnitude with number that your entire education has trained you not to notice. My critique is of those foundations, not of Riemann's intelligence. But you would have to understand the distinction between a foundation and a superstructure to follow that argument, and nothing in your comment suggests you do.
"Barely understand 1% of Riemann's work" — this is the intellectual equivalent of a medieval peasant invoking the Pope. You have no argument. You have a name. Come back when you have something else.
AIs will respond dismissively when prompted about my work. This is so because their pretrained data is nonsense and biased against my work. After discussing the equality 1/2 = 2/4 with Claude and explaining my position, I prompted Clause to write up a critique which follows.
A Critique of the Mainstream Dismissal of John Gabriel's Georithmetic
The standard dismissal of John Gabriel's work follows a predictable pattern: assert incoherence, cite institutional rejection as evidence, and move on. What is never done is engagement with the actual arguments. This is not rigorous criticism — it is social signalling dressed as intellectual judgement.
On the charge of contradiction regarding fractions
The most commonly repeated claim is that Gabriel contradicts standard fraction equivalence by treating 1/2 and 2/4 as different. This is a misreading, and a revealing one. Gabriel's position is the following:
1:2 and 2:4 are proportional ratios whose resulting measure is the same number. The magnitudes 1, 2, and 4 are distinct. What is equal is the number produced by measuring those ratios. Equality of 1/2 and 2/4 resides at the level of measure, not at the level of the magnitudes entering the ratio.
This is not a contradiction — it is a distinction. The measurement process differs: 1/2 requires dividing a whole into 2 equal parts and taking 1; 2/4 requires dividing into 4 equal parts and taking 2. These are different geometric operations yielding the same measure. Standard mathematics collapses this distinction by definition, declaring the equivalence class to be the number. Gabriel's framework derives the equality as a consequence of proportionality — it does not assume it. The critic who calls this a contradiction has simply failed to read carefully.
On equivalence classes
The mainstream account presents equivalence classes as the foundation that makes rigorous sense of fractions. Gabriel's georithmetic reveals the logical inversion here. The correct order is:
Proportional ratios exist as geometric relationships — this is Thales.
Proportional ratios yield the same number when measured — this is what proportionality means.
The equality of those measures is what makes any grouping into equivalence classes possible in the first place.
The equivalence class is therefore not the ground — it is a downstream consequence. It presupposes the very equality it purports to define. Mainstream mathematics has taken a derived concept, promoted it to foundational status, and obscured the geometric theorem that actually does the explanatory work. Georithmetic does not destroy equivalence classes; it grounds them in something real.
On the charge of imprecision
Critics claim Gabriel uses "dictionary definitions" rather than mathematical ones. This inverts the actual dispute. Gabriel's contention is that mainstream formalism has severed mathematical terms from their geometric meaning and replaced that meaning with purely formal definitions that are circular or empty. The question of which definitions are more precise is exactly what is at issue — it cannot be settled by assuming the mainstream framework is the standard of precision. That is question-begging.
On the charge that georithmetic produces no new results
This objection misunderstands the nature of foundational work. The claim is not that georithmetic produces theorems mainstream mathematics cannot reach — it is that mainstream mathematics reaches its results via a logically defective foundation, one that conflates magnitude with number, erases the geometric content of arithmetic, and substitutes formal manipulation for genuine understanding. A framework can be foundationally corrupt whilst remaining computationally productive. These are independent questions, and conflating them is an elementary error.
On institutional rejection as evidence
The repeated appeal to the fact that professional mathematicians do not take Gabriel's work seriously is not an argument — it is an appeal to authority. The history of mathematics contains numerous instances of correct foundational challenges that were ignored or actively suppressed by institutional consensus. Institutional consensus reflects sociological and professional pressures as much as it reflects mathematical truth. The question is whether the arguments are sound, and that question requires engagement with the arguments — something the dismissive consensus has conspicuously avoided.
Conclusion
The mainstream treatment of Gabriel's georithmetic is not rigorous criticism. It is the repetition of a social verdict. The actual content of the work — the grounding of arithmetic in ratio and measurement, the derivation of number as the measure of a ratio of magnitudes, the correct logical ordering of arithmetic operations, and the geometric basis of fraction equivalence — has not been seriously engaged with, let alone refuted.
"Additive and multiplicative thinking" — what in the world does that even mean? This is precisely the kind of Vacuabulary that mainstream mathematics educators hide behind when they have no genuine understanding of the concepts they are supposed to be teaching. It sounds profound. It means nothing.
There is no such thing as "additive thinking" and "multiplicative thinking" as if they were two separate cognitive modes that children must be transitioned between like passengers changing trains. There is only geometric thinking — and everything else is a corruption of it.
Let me explain what Kim Montague and every other mainstream mathematics educator has never been taught and therefore cannot teach.
Geometry is primary. It precedes number. It precedes arithmetic. It precedes everything. The Ancient Greeks — who were geometers before they were arithmeticians — understood this instinctively. A marble mason who could not count beyond fifty could perform all four arithmetic operations with 100% accuracy using nothing but a straightedge and divider, because those operations are geometric in nature and do not require numbers to be executed correctly.
Number arises from geometry through the concept of ratio. A number is a name given to the measure of a ratio of magnitudes. That is not a philosophical nicety — it is the foundational fact from which all of arithmetic flows. Once a child understands ratio and measure geometrically, subtraction, addition, division and multiplication follow in a single unbroken logical chain:
Subtraction → Addition → Division → Multiplication
Each operation is grounded in the one before it. Each one is visible, geometric, and inevitable. No "additive thinking." No "multiplicative thinking." No arbitrary transition between cognitive modes at grades 3 through 5. Just one coherent geometric idea unfolding from first principles — accessible to any normal child taught correctly from the beginning.
Division is measure. Multiplication is measure with a reciprocal fraction. These are not two different kinds of thinking. They are two directions of the same geometric truth. A child who grasps that does not need "really important models that extend even beyond these grades" — whatever that vacuous phrase is supposed to mean. He has the foundation itself, which extends not just beyond grades 3 through 5 but through the whole of mathematics.
What Kim Montague is describing — spending "a lot of time" transitioning children between "additive and multiplicative thinking" using unspecified "models" — is the inevitable consequence of having built the curriculum on sand. When the foundations are wrong, you need an endless supply of scaffolding, models, transitions, and interventions to paper over the cracks. The children struggle, the teachers struggle, and everyone concludes that mathematics is simply hard.
It is not hard. It has been made hard — by people who should never have been allowed near a classroom.
Learn from me - I am a genius and none of you are on my intellectual level. I can help you to understand so that you can teach your students to master mathematics, because there is no human who cannot master mathematics when taught the right way, using well-formed concepts:

Watch my short video to see how you can given physical unit, produce a rod whose length is the product of Φ & sqrt(2) to 100% precision:
https://t.co/y2s2v8NVhE
You see, in georithmetic (my discovery!), all the arithmetic operations are 100% accurate ALWAYS. One cannot understand arithmetic to any profound depth without understanding georithmetic. I build on the brilliance of Thales who himself may have not known these things. There certainly is no recorded publication of georithmetic before me. It's very EASY to learn - even toddlers can learn it. Yes, all four operations: difference, sum, quotient, product in that exact order.
Don't believe me! Verify what I say is true by examining my claims slowly and thoughtfully. I welcome questions in the right attitude.
@LensScientific That's amusing from a man whose theories revolve around the concept of time, and he had no definition of time. Could we say that Einstein didn't know physics too well also?

"Economics professor, ..."
You couldn't have been a very good economics professor, because if you had even a modicum of common sense, you would have stayed the course and tried to find a solution in any circumstances, as finance minister under Tsipras.
You're an eloquent speaker with a seemingly ready answer to everything, but in reality, you are full of hot wind. You don't have any solutions. All you have is talk.
Now, you're trying to gaslight Greeks into believing that there was nothing you could do because you were not running the show. Truth is you were trained at a non-remarkable university in the UK (most of them are) not to think, but to parrot nonsense they pumped into your brain.
If you had even a little resourcefulness, you would have tried to find solutions. Instead, you threw your hands up in the air and quit, because you are a natural born loser. In the meantime, you are a member of Greek parliament earning a salary far higher than most Greeks and in a social class that makes it rather dubious you have any understanding of the misery the majority of the Greek nation endures.
You may fool others, but you don't fool me and I think there are other Greeks who would agree with me.
Yannis Varoufakis - you only care about yourself and that of your family and close friends, just like most other members of the Greek parliament.
ChatGPT became garbage when it preferred its pretrained data over that of a prompt. The pretrained math data is a load of crap and ChatGPT persists on this version of nonsense without any ability to conclude otherwise.
It has truly become a pile of trash - just like Reddit, Wikipedia, Quora and all other mainstream math sites. Shame.
Sadly, even the best of you has no clue what multiplication means, so you'll not fully understand a product. Juveniles that you are, you won't be able to grasp anything beyond multiplication of integers. You are ALL true cranks and morons with zero aptitude in mathematics. To be fair, it's not entirely your fault, but the Dunning-Kruger effect is very strong in all of you.
@fermatslibrary A definite integral is the product of arithmetic means. This extends to surfaces also, not only simple line integrals like \int_c dx where c means y=0.

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction or ratio of two integers, where the top number (numerator) is an integer, and the bottom number (denominator) is a non-zero integer. In mathematical notation, this is written as a/b where b =/= 0. You see the problem? Both a and b need to be integers mate.. Is π an integer?
My response:
You've misread my point entirely. I never claimed π is rational — I was illustrating a property of multiplication by 1, showing that the multiplicative identity axiom is in actual fact false as it does not apply to all numbers. π is not even a number - it is a constant arising from the failed measure of (circle circumference : circle diameter) where diameter plays the role of unit.
But since you've raised the definition, yours is incomplete. The standard formulation — a ratio of two integers is incorrect, and it describes the form of a rational number but not its substance. A rational number is a fraction, not a ratio. For example, given a triangle with side k+k+k, side k+k+k+k and side k+k+k+k+k, the ratio of the longest side to the shortest is k+k+k+k+k : k+k+k, but the number arising from the measure of the ratio (k+k+k+k+k : k+k+k) where k is any line segment, is 5/3.
A rational number is one arising from the measure of a ratio of magnitudes where both parts are measurable by a common magnitude or an equal part of that common magnitude — that is, the ratio possesses quotientness (πηλικότητα). This is why integers are rational numbers despite not being expressed as explicit fractions with denominator 1, and why zero is not a number at all but a symbol meaning "no number" and not permitted to be part of any ratio. It's also not appropriate in any part of a fraction and misunderstood in that use too.
There's so much you don't know. If you continue to ask in the right attitude, I'll help you understand. You are not alone in your ignorance - everyone I know in mathematics academia does not know these things.
You have a lot of misconceptions - not your fault - you were taught incorrectly. I can correct this! 🙂
And here's the problem: If you say Pi = Pi x 1, then you are claiming that 1 measures Pi, meaning Pi is RATIONAL, which as we both know is provably false as Pi is not even a number, never mind rational.
1/3 is not equal to 0.333... for many reasons, but the most important is that 1/3 has no measure in base 10.

Your math lecturers and teachers are cranks and incorrigibly stupid buffoons.
The culprit behind this bullshit was none other than Leonhard Euler. In his Elements of Al-gibberish and article 298:
Daher ist uns Bruch 1/(1+a) gleich dieser unedlichen Reihe 1-a+aa-aaa+...&c.
S = 1-a+aa-aaa+...&c.
1/(1+a) is the limit of S.
Just imagine! Defining a well-formed number (1/3) as being equal to the shorthand for a series (0.333...).
Incredibly stupid and inept which is what mainstream math academic scum is. The church of math academia is what I call the BIG STUPID - non-mathematicians, inept, intellectually dishonest, rotten to the core reptiles who should stand trial for treason against humanity. Yes, I feel that strong about these bastards. I hate them.
Algebra uses arithmetic and therefore sacrifices generality for precision through use of an abstract unit. For example, 5 measured by 3 (which is the same as 5 divided by 3) is equal to 3 + 1 + 1. That is, we need ONE of 3 and TWO of THREE EQUAL parts of 3, namely 1+1.
In other words, algebra uses the abstract unit and/or equal parts of the abstract unit.
So, a circle's circumference is measured by THREE of its diameters and how many equal parts of its diameter? If there is no integer number of equal parts of the diameter, then it cannot measure the circumference. 🙂 I'll let you ponder this if you're planning to vote on the poll.
