You kid but a friend of mine who was a maths prodigy and now professor told me he imagined abstract colors and shapes, whereas I, and I imagine most people, try to talk themselves through complicated maths problems.

It always tickles me when a soft science uses numbers to try to seem more legitimate.

Friend from high school, son of a mathematician, and now himself maths professor at Columbia introduced me to Ramanujan, who really did possess a once-in-a-millennium mind and somehow convinced the younger, more foolish me that all Indians must be geniuses at maths.

Wikipedia, not that it's infallible, lists her as an anesthesiologist, which is what I remember from the pool episode when she confronts the sexy blond mother who has time for yoga and other social activities about how she must not have much of a professional life if she can do all those things, to which the sexy…

I have no love for Reagan, but did grow up in the 80s and am obviously a fan of The Americans, so this sounds very interesting.
