>DA FUQ, Grothy was a little weird
why?
It's well known that he was very much into eastern spirituality etc.
Also, his senpai was killed by Nazis and stuff, no wonder he was a little on the odd side
I always wanted to read works on Steiner.

I find it interesting the only mathematician he chooses is Riemann...
over Gauss, Newton, Euler etc. etc.
interesting
>>
any math person
can you explain why Grothy would only choose Riemann as his "18" among many other great mathematicians?
>>
No sign of Leibniz? Obviously this list is bullshit.

was leibniz smart?

I'm not that guy but about a decade ago, I took a course in modern philosophy - rationalists, empiricists, and later synthesis (Kant). The professor's interest was philosophy of science, and he seemed to be a reasonable sort. Was a pretty good class.
According to this professor (and he made a specific point of mentioning this one occasion), Leibniz was known among certain of his contemporaries as "the monster" due to the profound breadth and depth of his education and intelligence. I regret that I have not been able to substantiate this anecdote with a link, but I do believe the professor even if the reference is obscure.
Obviously, the appellation of "monster", meant to indicate a rarity even among geniuses, an intellect so superior as to be frightening, almost post-human (the recently popular images of Wojak with an absurdly huge brain are a good object-lesson here) is very close to whatever Grothendieck's exact meaning with "mutant" was supposed to be (far ahead of one's own time, in the link's telling).

interesting
would you say Leibniz intellect was genetic, or do you think it was his general curiosity
do you think his contemporaries could of strove to all that knowledge, or was Leibniz a one of a kind figure?
>>
>>8542597
>Was Leibniz smart
>Is water wet
Leibniz is probably one of the top 5 smartest humans to ever exist on this fucking rock....to even ask that question, is beyond trolling

>would you say Leibniz intellect was genetic, or do you think it was his general curiosity
Not that other faggot but intelligence is mostly genetic, general curiosity is a symptom of high intelligence, not its cause.
>>
>>8542637
it's not a rock
>>
>>8542644
but if that is true, Newton for example was also very smart
but he obviously didn't strive for the same breath of fields that Leibniz did
he was much more concentrated

>>8542645
well not technically, no

>>8542645
What?

I have a mutant grothendick in my pants

>>8542330
I know this must be old, but where the fuck is Da Vinci? Honestly, the man deserves to be on there, he was centuries ahead of his peers

OwO
pics pls

>the creator of homeopathy is considered one of the 18 people so far ahead of their time

I'm glad to see the Grothendieck meme still lives
at least people can translate his works in full now, RIP you crazy bastard
