Lol...OK...if you'd ever care to chat about math, I'd of course be most willing. Not an imperative, of course, just an interest of mine, honest, many thanks.

I always get a kick. People assume I am good with Math being a Crippy but that is an exaggeration. I tell them not unless you consider Sudoku Math.

I follow, many thanks, it's just one of my interests if you'd ever care to chat about it at all, is of course be most willing, anytime, by all means, certainly.

Even though I have no love loss for mathematics, I greatly admire the late Dr. John Nash and his works.

That's a very complex topic...I'd read online certainly off the recent tragedy in their family, and of the tragedy of his son, of course. Please understand, I've also read fairly extensively about what actually happened to him, and the Russell crowe film, at least in my view, is, unfortunately, at least to me, woefully inaccurate, as well as in many regards to my way of thinking, in many, many places. Before my disability, I was taught by some of the very best and most serious scientists in the world, and was most extremely fortunate in that regard. Please believe me, I therefore think I entirely understand why his most famous paper is important, I've read it, in some depth, albeit quite some time ago. However, I can tell you of many, many comparably brilliant technical minds I've known, all of whom were his equal, at the very least. He had many, many problems, that I'd read went far, far beyond what was depicted in the film. Get the bio on him, and look at the Wikipedia page on him, I know he was brilliant, I entirely realize that, I only point out that I've done a fair level of reading on him, and taken considerable grad level coursework before my disability, on that level, I assure you, please believe me when I tell you the true story as I'd read it multiple times, in multiple places, is far, far more complex than you might perhaps have encountered thus far. I'd be most eager to chat more about the comparable minds I've known who are, or were, the equal of his, by all means, if you'd care to hear more, certainly, I just thought I ought to perhaps explain those aspects, purely to explain my perspective on his whole story. I'd be most curious, also, what your perceptions of the film were, and if they helped shape your thoughts about the depiction of him you've encountered thus far, it's a very real interest of mine, please feel free to be as detailed as you wish, of course. Also, please do realize my thoughts here are, likewise purely my own, obviously, I realize yours as well as those of others on here would of course quite probably very significantly different, by all means, many very real thanks.
