Great example of how pure math is a disenfranchised intellectual pursuit. The two celebrities make it about themselves and the actual genius just sits there and is ignored. Hell, I'd bet most are only there for the celebrities and are oblivious to who Manjul Bhargava is. "Oh, you do math, good for you. NEIL, WE LOVE YOU! NEIL!!!" Hopefully the rest of the conversation didn't play out like this video.
@@centslesspictures , then this headline "Neil deGrasse Tyson & Jeremy Irons: The Man Who Knew Infinity" means? I have seen many brilliant people ignored by lesser ones who think self-projection is a way to glorify themselves to an audience.
Wow ! A Field Medallist so obviously ignored. Wonder how brilliant mathematicians of the past would have felt amidst loud people and mediocrity around !

Actually Manjul spoke quite a bit, would you like me to also load a full unedited version of the conversation?
