What a strange site. It is very close to blowing my mind, but I'm not really sure where to begin. It seems like a wonderful journey of mathematics from a different perspective than the traditional pure vs. applied, geometry vs. analysis, etc.
This is probably the most interesting site I've found here in a while. At first it seems very strange and crank-ish but there's definitely a lot of stuff for me to come back to.
FWIW, I just finished a math bachelor's at UC Davis and I would say "reports of mathematics education's death are greatly exaggerated." Certainly we did cover some of the "neglected" material, and my teachers presented things with an eye towards unification.
I'm flagging this, there's lot's of conflated ideas here as well as some real trash. My flags went up when I saw the comments about saints/devils in math relating them to Schoenberg's introduction of atonal music.
Yes there were and are deep philosophical issues in mathematics, .eg. between intuitionists and platonists, but this writer strikes me as somewhat of a conspiracy theorist. Lyndon LaRouche? Give me a break

Almost everything submitted to this site is trash: get-rich-quick pablum, braindead web 2.0 wank-tech. And what's left over has plenty of conflated ideas.

Because conspiracies cannot exist? The laws of physics forbid them?

Admit it, the man's crime is: making you think.
I don't think so, I generally dismiss holocaust deniers without much thought. His only crime was wasting my time.
I'm curious, did you read the piece? In it's entirety?
