Quotes

“Back in 1954 when Calabi published his conjecture, I

was just five years old—a hungry boy growing up in Hong Kong. Sixteen years later, as I sat in a Berkeley lecture hall, I was still hungry… to devour mathematics.”

From a conversation: The average researcher is more driven by curiosity and avoids risks during learning while the average founder enjoys solving problems efficiently at the sacrifice of fundamental knowledge. However, 99th-percentile researchers understand important problems and can frame their research in addition to walking between curiosity and certainty. Research benefits from playful exploration, not just speedrunning.
