Math For Lefties

“Like right wing policies, for all that it appeals to individuals who crave

certitude in life, the right wing definition of mathematical proof is an

unrealistic ideal that does not survive the first contact with the real

world. (Unless you have an army to impose it with force, an approach that

mathematicians have hitherto shied away from.)”

The whole silly thing is here.
