alt Hacker NewsSome of the best mathematicians in the world tried to study his work, found flaws he did not address, and somehow there’s someone every week suggesting there’s a conspiracy against this guy. It’s really baffling. AI will probably help him move on by lean verifying his proof is wrong…
By this point, he is very much nutso enough that a Lean certified counterexample to his theories would not dissuade him. His response would be either that the formalization is incorrect (with no coherent insights on how to fix it), or worse, Lean itself is a tool of Western imperialism and incapable of properly explicating his ideas. He has, in the past, ranted against such things as monotheism and English grammar as being the reason for his theories' lack of popularity.
IIRC he has expressed support in the past for attempts to formalize IUT in Lean, but we'll see where that really goes, because he's absolutely not clearheaded enough to lead such a project himself.
