Welcome
Paper Tigers
I’m surrounded by
industrial academics
seeking to turn
mathematical philosophies
into practical wisdom.
Trying to define the infinite
by proving that the successor of one
is indeed two
and engaging in the popular passions
of graceful evasions
and
glittering generalizations
to keep their funding.
