Oh, now I see. Systematic learning the language and concepts of
mathematics is, as you just said, "conformism, formalism and mob
mentality". Posting incomprehensible gibberish, misusing common
mathematical terms and, last but not least, complete inability to
listen is, as you believe, is non-conformism and creativity.

I have to disappoint you. Mathematicians have the common language they
speak and understand. When you post something like this:

it sounds like you pulled this stuff out of one of your unmentionable
bodily orifice. When you say "isomorphic", you have no slightest clue
what are you talking about. Apparently you believe using this word
will make you appear smarter than you are. What you (and your likes)
do not get is that any math forum is wrong for you.

You sound like a pig in pain.

I guess your personal experience with universities is about the same
as your personal experience with me and your personal knowledge of
mathematical terminology: non-existent.

And I do that, according to you. Are you basing this on the same
"knowledge" that you based your use of "isomorphic"? (I.e., utter
ignorance and guesswork) Or on something else?

And all of this personal diatribe of yours still does not erase the
simple fact: you had, and apparently continue to have, no clue
whatsoever what "isomorphism" meant, and you used the word without
knowing what it meant. Having been informed of the utter silliness of
your *statement* (note that I never once addressed what may or may not
be behind it, just your utter misuse of the word and the complete and
utter ridiculousness of you describing this information as a
"suggestion" that you were "considering"), you would rather pretend
that there is a deep personal flaw on anyone who tells you that you
used the word incorrectly, rather than simply acknowledge your misuse
and move on, and proceed then to personally abuse them based on
nothing but your ill-informed prejudices.

Perelman studied in a specialized school for mathematics, and in
Leningrad State University. He then worked at the Leningrad State
University, the USSR Academy of Sciences, the Courant Institute, NYU,
SUNY Stony Brook, two years at Berkeley, and finally the Skelov
Institute in St Petersburg. He only abandoned mathematics then, well
after finishing the work for which he has been justly awarded prizes
and received accolades.

In what sense is he a "total outsider"?

Garrett Lisi was also educated in those incestous and conformist mob
schools you decry: UCLA and UCSD. Was he also a "complete outsider"?
In what world?

Your intuition would be better served if you were able to recongize
simple misstatements and mistakes you make, instead of getting your
knickers twisted all in a bunch because you play the fool and get
called on it. See above as well, regarding all these "complete
outsiders" of yours.

Here's a hint: learning "some math" might be easier if you rely on
actual things and not merely on what you imagine things are. You don't
have to be a formalist, raving or otherwise, but you *do* have to be
correct. And so far, it seems you are incapable of getting anywhere
near a neighborhood of correct.

Did I hurt your feelings so much when I pointed out how utterly
ridiculous and stupid your use of "isomorphism" and your later claim
that the correct meaning was merely a "suggestion" you were
"considering" that you had to go on such a falsehood laced raving
rant?

I'm happy to say that I didn't read your comments.
