Virgin (second order arithmetic and set theory) vs Chad actually doing real mathematics

Only autistic philosophers care about it
where are all the set theory Fields medals? Cohen got one for showing CH is independent of ZFC, after which mathematicians stopped paying attention to set theorists.

>if it didn’t explicitly earn a fields medal it’s not “real math”

1. they were never in competition
2. reverse mathematics is probably a healthier field right now than set theory in terms of activity and questions getting answered

it's an indication that the entire field is of low importance to mathematicians, and considering the average age of set theory departments it's gonna die soon.

The fact that black people don't win the nobel prize or fields medal indicates that black people are of low importance to scientists. This indicates that blacks are soon to be genocided from STEM.

Wrong. Niggers don't win Fields Medals because they are borderline retarded, on average.

Seriously. Why we have axiom of replacement
