Perelman Urged To Accept $1m Prize

krou writes "The Warm Home charity in St. Petersburg, Grigory Perelman's home-town, has urged the math genius and recluse to accept the $1m Millennium Prize for solving the Poincaré conjecture, and donate it to charities. Perelman has refused to accept the award, telling one reporter through the closed door of his flat, 'I have all I want,' and another who managed to call him on his mobile, 'You are disturbing me. I am picking mushrooms.'"

    Maybe leave the guy alone like he wants?

    Am I the only one who thinks this guy is getting off on all the attention he is getting by pretending to be a recluse who doesn't want any attention or money. If he had just taken the money the world would have forgotten about him by now.

    That's a damned lie. Taco doesn't hit 2 inches in his wildest dreams.

    Hahahah You get the world to bail you out and get you a country your own superior race was too pussy shit to get on your own. Only through killing 6 million of you "super geniuses" were we able to feel guilt enough to give you your own country or maybe it was because we didn't want to hear you hygenic retards bitch about one of the smartest moves in history. I am strongly of the opinion that the Nazis really should have finished the job. Could you imagine a world without hateful "super smart" jews. You mention Jewish superiority but I think German efficiency trumped you 6 million down. Lets just hope that those assholes in Iran finish you off. I swear it would be a golden day in Valhalla if we could just off you fucking hook nosed stink ass leeches on society. Your devotion to your fucking Desert God is what brings about the biggest misery overall too. Does "Die in a shower" mean anything to you? I would tattoo 31621602 on your forehead before ditching you in a mass grave but I do hope 27 niggers rape your ass before you die of semen shock.

    Best,
    Your Enemies

    You've never had the right to be left alone by whatever amount you would deem necessary, regardless of what government laws you think offer you some kind of pseudo-protection. At some point, this world requires interacting with others. Sometimes we have a choice. Perelman made his when he solved the problem. He should have kept his mouth shut if he was so concerted with privacy.

    "...people were attacking ALL upper class simply because they were rich, not because they had done wrong."

    You're either poor but overly optimistic about your prospects, poor but subservient, or rich.

    People don't get rich by being kind to others, and there is no type of person they like more than a person who smiles and stands aside while they take their plunder.

    Trickle down economics is the theory that if we allow the biggest landowners to have even more land, somehow, the rest of us will also be able to have more land too. Unbelievable to some, yet I am sure you have no problem believing it at all.
