He was a brainlet.
When he realized all the effort he put into mathematics couldn't award him the Fields medal he withdraw from society and became a terrorist.

Only a handful of them may have practical implications.
Almost all the useful work is made in silence by physicists/mathematical physicists and engineers.

>By and large it is uniformly true that in mathematics there is a time lapse between a mathematical discovery and the moment it becomes useful; and that this lapse can be anything from 30 to 100 years, in some cases even more; and that the whole system seems to function without any direction, without any reference to usefulness, and without any desire to do things which are useful.

>If you pick up a gold ball you've put your hand in 1 of 2 boxes with at least 1 gold ball. That leaves a 50% chance you put your hand in the box with 2 gold balls and a 50% chance you put your hand in the box with 1 gold ball.

Like with monty hall, things will probably get more intuitive if you consider larger numbers.

All boxes have a million balls
1 box has a million gold balls
1 box has 999999 silver balls and one gold ball
1 box has a million silver balls

Now if you pick up a gold ball, do you still think there's a 50% chance you picked the one with a million gold balls and 50% chance you picked the one with only 1 gold ball?
