But what I admired about him... well, the way he collaborated with so many people and wrote so much, over half his articles in the last 20 years of his life, the way he was constantly travelling, always on the move from one conference to the next, often sleeping through lectures and waking up at the end with some pertinent insight or way to solve the lecturer's problem, and most of all for his phrase "my mind is open", always happy to think about problems in a wide area of mathematics and try to help others towards a solution. There might be a group of mathematicians sitting in a room, each thinking about their own problem, and he would literally go from one to the next, shedding his light!!!<br /><br /><i>He had his own idiosyncratic vocabulary: he spoke of "The Book", an imaginary book in which God had written down the best and most elegant proofs for mathematical theorems. Lecturing in 1985 he said, "You don't have to believe in God, but you should believe in The Book." He himself doubted the existence of God, whom he called the "Supreme Fascist" (SF). When he saw a particularly beautiful mathematical proof he would exclaim, "This one's from The Book!". He called children "epsilons" (because in mathematics, particularly calculus, an arbitrarily small positive quantity is commonly denoted by that Greek letter (ε)); women were "bosses"; men were "slaves"; people who stopped doing math had "died"; people who physically died had "left"; alcoholic drinks were "poison"; music was "noise"; ... </i> (Wiki)okei jamintoohttp://jamintoo.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466669636390432992.post-36169473071473828392010-04-19T00:59:58.000+01:002010-04-19T00:59:58.000+01:00Do a blog on him, Okei, so we can learn more...Do a blog on him, Okei, so we can learn more...Nancy Millerhttp://mysticmaze.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466669636390432992.post-84725837495018337952010-04-19T00:12:15.000+01:002010-04-19T00:12:15.000+01:00Ok, Rose... here's a man I admire immensely.

I can see why you might not associate that with "freedom". More like insanity, lol. It reminds me of the following by the 14th century Kashmiri mystic, Lalla:<br /><i><br />Dance, Lalla, with nothing on<br />but air.

I originally heard it in a really fast version which was super-cool.

I just though...I call it stalking the self too. <br /><br />I just thought it would be 'fun to,' see a person more 'rounded' than they can type. Humanize their qualities a bit. Sometimes we can be surprised, at what they more closely identify with. For instance, Roddy, saying George Castanza. I'd of not thought that in a million years, now I think back to some of the humorous things Roddy has said, coloring that into his voice, and it makes him, all the more precious in my eyes.Honor Brighthttp://honorbright24.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466669636390432992.post-64529961647947114292010-04-18T23:29:41.000+01:002010-04-18T23:29:41.000+01:00I see it as the same question as yours.
