academic math background? this guy has no formal academic mathematics
math background. do your own diligence before you open your mouth.
AMS fellowship is case specific. think: free mathematica copies supplied, some anonymous donations. He is no credible mathematician. What are you doing about?
ad hominem attacks? go to Taleb to learn about real ad hominem attacks.
No, you are not talking about the institution here.
Lex just used the institution as a platform to self-promote
himself. Nothing intrinsically wrong with this, but Lex
isn't the most sophisticated brain at MIT.
There are smarter people there, less loquacious, but more powerful.
Then again, MIT also has evil people in power,
like previous MIT Chancellor Eric Grimson, who killed Aaron Schwartz
and betrayed the principles of the institution by secretly passing information on to the secret service. Grimson was still able to hold on to a title of Chancellor that pays him more than 400K USD per year!!! INSANE!
You are talking about Stephen Wolfram and his pothole self promoting
things. Wolfram is also a very dangerous individual. he is feeding off ignorance, and corrupting young minds.
