Any comments? AJ
Hi Andre. I read the Manin interview in the AMS Notices with much interest myself last week. With regard to your request for comments, I can only repeat von Neumann's remark after Goedel's lecture as cited recently in Logicomix: "It's all over." I couldn't agree more. Like a rat trap slamming shut on a rat that we no longer need fret about. That the rat's ghost continues to haunt so many is an interesting commentary on human nature.
