A question: where does math sit in relation to the ecology of “premium mediocrity”? @vgr Are there premium mediocre math concepts? String theory seems to be a premium mediocre physics concept, striving to become a RealTheory of science. Does math have any PM analogs?

Futurama rocks! Follows in tradition of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’s “bistromath” - the idea that math works differently in restaurants, thus explaining why dinner bills always seem to add to more than what you ordered.

You are at Berggruen now I gather? I live in LA. You writing a book about perceptions of time(I see). I wrote one about perceptions of space. Hope we get to meet one day. My next book will be about the concept of “dimensions” and what that has meant through history
