This is what we want. Discovering math makes it fun for everyone. Honesty and actual learning with that method(my whole would be not be too difficult, because everyone would inevitably have their own personal spin on the origins of the theorems et cetera. Plus, it'd be embarrassing to go to the blackboard and say that you haven't done the work.
How much overall has this costed you? Do you think that a middle-class person could afford to do what you did?
> So, I laddered up the academic food chain using a little cash (donations), emails, airline tickets, and conference admission. ~2 years after my diagnosis I found myself in a closed-door session called the MPN Roundtable in Chicago with 100 of the foremost experts in the world. No cameras, no transcripts, just some of the greatest minds in the field earnestly debating the path forward to a cure.
Why don't they allow recordings at the MPN Roundtable? It could be useful for others to learn from.
