For some OC, and since there's been a few threads on ordinals beyond infinity recently, I made an elaborative clip, implementing an order relation beyond [math] \omega_0 [/math] (in some light Python)

To explain what?

On a completely different note, I just saw pic related and really didn't see that coming!
>It’s not just that nobody would ever read what I did; there was also that 1) I didn’t even select the problem I was working on, and 2) I realized that I didn’t actually want to do research. The thing I actually did in grad school when left to my own devices was much closer to distilling (Distill); understanding things carefully, compressing them, and then explaining them clearly. And I was frustrated by the sense that academic mathematics didn’t seem to have a place for me to do that professionally.
>he short and unsatisfying answer is that I was good at it and I liked doing things I was good at. There are other more specific things I like about it but it’s unclear whether they were causal, but I can describe some of them anyway.

What are some countable ordinals between the last epsilon and large ones?

I had a roomate who was a visiting pHD student from china, but in compsci, so his existential crisis was less extreme. It seems that america does this kind of thing to foreigners, especially at cal.

You mean existential crisis because they get more freedom and start questioning their path?

Qiaochu Yuan is top 10 on MathSE, but - due to his interest - mostly focused on abstract algebra close to higher homology theory and such. Might be good if he's in a more tangible field, assuming he keeps on being public and write on the web. I remember he also became part of the nCafe at one point, but I think he never wrote anything for it in the end.

I liked Ron Maimon, if anybody knows him, or rather I liked his answers. Too bad he got kicked out everywhere.
