The biography is very detailed and does not gloss over some of the aspects not seen in the movie. It was the best book I have read in many years - I can recommend it. It also deals with his recovery from schizophrenia in more detail.
I've watched every single video you have made. They're all amazing and I always get excited to see a new one. I really enjoy that unlike other people you touch on the actual technical contributions of the mathematicians / scientist and not just their personal lives. I would really to see a video on Hardy and Littlewood, Feynman, Banach or the Bourbaki Group.
Thanks, Angel! ☺The history isn't complete if you don't dig into some of the technical imo. I'm always hoping it encourages people to look further. I have all of those folks (+ group) in my backlog already, and am hoping to get to some, if not all, next year.
WOW!! He simply willed the disease to the side, and ignored the voices and thoughts. That’s amazing. That’s damn near superhuman. I wish I could do that.
I think he was able to do this due to his overwhelming obsession with his work as well as an apparently well established family support system. There should be studies on this frankly it seems like it would help a lot of people.
I think over time one is able to iron out the same themes and triggers for the hallucinations. Auditory stimuli that are seemingly coming from no origin. Common delusions that repeat themselves. The like. I would say from my experience it is quite possible but in no way is a substitute to proper medication.
Check out the book the experience of hallucinations and religious practice by RS Pearson. It covers the mechanism of hallucination seeing it as inner speech, and doesn't just apply to the subject matter of religious hallucinations. It also differentiates the possibility of divine experience versus mere brain phenomenon.
Really enjoyed this well researched video on John Nash. What a brilliant mathematician and an endearing eccentric. Any chance you could do a vid on Grothendieck?
Mathematics is the language of the exact sciences as well as the only discipline where ALL assertions are established through rigorous logical arguments. There would be no modern technology without mathematics.

It’s remarkable how many time ET Bell’s men of mathematics arises in stories about mathematicians. It’s one of my favorite mathematics books of all time.
What about Nash's one-sentence letter-of-recommendation document from his Carnegie Mellon professor? That same document which brougt him to Princton, with less effort spent on the process of applying and getting accepted to a very prestigious school!
One of John Nash's sons has Schitzophrenia and he also has Tartive Discognesia from taking too many psych meds. Tartive discognesia makes your forehead, eyebrows, andf mouth contort constantly. Even if his brain were able to escape the delusions like his father, he would never look normal. He will always facial contortions commonly associated with mental patients.
Oh my, i never knew that Nash died at a car accident, just supposed that he passed away from mental illness or something. At least they were together in love ❤
Nash as a child sounds like a downright psychotic serial killer in the making. Aside, I’m not sure who this video is intended for, but much of what you talk about regarding Nash will go right over the head of 99% of your audience.
John Nash should have been wise enough to use a safety belt, but alas RIP. A great (yet disturbed) mind who became a PSA (Public Service Announcement). Not something, I hope to do.
Don't think so. One has to consider many factors surrounding mental illness. Example factors: A predisposition to mental illness, undue stress, trauma, etc. That being said, there's definitely stories of folks labeled "genius" having social difficulties, for instance, which in turn could negatively impact their mental health (e.g. undue stress + lack of proper coping)
Before the mental breakdown, yeah he was incredibly self-centered and treated some people pretty badly. As he dealt with his mental illness and struggled to get his life together, he appears to have grown in a very positive way. He's very lucky to have had the support system he did, else things could've really gone a different way.

Please the name of the book for my brother

There is one
@@leonhardeuler9231 great 😁👍. Thanks for letting me know.
You are doing great work. Next 21st century greatest Mathematician Grigori Perelman biography 😌.
Can you do a video about a university rather than a mathematician, if possible, could the first video be on göttingen university?
It's a great idea
I'm not sure when I'd get to this, but I threw this idea into my backlog!

What a remarcable work. Very good production. Thank you
Very informative and nicely done video biography. Thank you!
Fascinating. For the record, Nash's father worked for the Appa-latch-un power company, as did my aunt.
Love your videos.

Superb work
Great video. Thank you!

What is the last track used?
A beautiful mind, indeed. Simply wow.

Can you do one on Voevodsky?
I'm not sure when I'll be getting to him, but I added him to the backlog!
Please make a video about Al-Khwarizmi, father of Algebra,informatics and Hindu-arabic numeral which we use always 🙏❤️
Gh hardy next
And / or Littlewood.

10:24 conflict MEDIATION, not MEDICATION. Excellent video sir!
Y.. NODE MAY BE 15:41
Hey great videos!
I am watching every video that you put in a maraton .
Make videos on Paris universiry
About 17:30, their contribution “cannot be understated” is not much of an endorsement.
Oh my, i never knew that Nash died at a car accident, just supposed that he passed away from mental illness or something. At least they were together in love ❤
Can we make movie about john nash jr or series
ECONOMICS ( & I ) FINANCE @ GREEN FIELD GOLDEN DISTANCE ABIN ABOUT 19:00
Points for Chopin in the background.
Could you do one on Hamilton?
Making bombs and torturing animals as a kid then game theory and polishing brass eggs?! More like a weird mind.
📍21:41
Great but you missed the movie and impact of it in his life.
Nash as a child sounds like a downright psychotic serial killer in the making.
Aside, I’m not sure who this video is intended for, but much of what you talk about regarding Nash will go right over the head of 99% of your audience.
His greatest achievement and gift to humanity is missing in this video, his creation of Bitcoin under his pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto.
Cannot be "understated"?? Mmm...I don't know about that math
Ah. Classical genius. Great mind, douchey relationships
Who has Nash’ s brass egg now? I want it.
Unsocial* not anti social... huge difference!
cad | math : : Probably NasH was solving centuriam complexity problems
John Nash should have been wise enough to use a safety belt, but alas RIP. A great (yet disturbed) mind who became a PSA (Public Service Announcement). Not something, I hope to do.
Wait. Torturing animals? Helped blow a child up? Good grief!
22:03 So Nash wasn't crazy after all. The men in red ties were trump and the magas!
Hmm, a little Ted Kazinsky or serial killer
I am interested in artificial intelligence sentient john nash junior for and transfer of consciousness to russell crow permissions
With his childhood activities I wonder if in adulthood he hooked up with Ted Kozinsky.😮

Can a person become sick just because of being a genius
Don't think so. One has to consider many factors surrounding mental illness. Example factors: A predisposition to mental illness, undue stress, trauma, etc.
That being said, there's definitely stories of folks labeled "genius" having social difficulties, for instance, which in turn could negatively impact their mental health (e.g. undue stress + lack of proper coping)

Who is here because he created Bitcoin?
Hate to say but he was not that great as opposed to hundreds of others.
The movie just made him more notable...that's all

Seems like a horrible person

Please make some video on some Paris universities and the prerequisites.🎉
