Knows a bit about the history, philosophy, and practices of mathematics, especially set theory.

I wonder if that's a function of philosophy or just force of habit. E.g., couple of months ago Hong Wang (NYU Math, presumably native Chinese speaker) presented her breakthrough with the Kakeya conj. in Beijing and asked if she can switch to English mid-seminar, bc it's easier to talk math that way

Maybe it's a nice baby logic exercise to observe how the negation of "you can make it anywhere" is *not* "you can't make it anywhere" - one of those cautionary tales of the mismatch between the logical form and the natural language (surface) syntax ;)

That's amazing. Great win for the set theory community!

that's a lot of ground to cover! (Yes pun intended...) These lectures will be for how many days?

The true Kuhnian paradigm-shifts all and only those who don't paradigm-shift their own paradigm.
