So I was discussing Perelman with my social science professor aunt (she brought it up) and she called him autistic for refusing the prize. I got really angry and tried to defend him, said I wouldve done the same and that it was a very honourable and commendable thing to do, but I failed to change her mind. Surely someone as ingenious as Perelman cannot be autistic: autists have very low IQs.
Do you guys think he is autistic? Discuss.

Hey guys. Dr.Michael Penn uploaded a math vid today and I'm close to solving but I've hit a small snag: I have a triangle with 1 side given, Its Hight to opposing angle given, and the angle is also known. What steps if any are there to determine the two unknown sides(A and B)?(pic related).
Trauma is retarded... just plain fucking stupid it outlives its usefulness for us homosapiens. it's meant to be an alarm system for survival but it's only useful for braindead neanderthals that can't reason even if their lives dependent on it.
what's worse is that it's near impossible to get rid of it via natural selection it's as old as the nervous system it self, no, it is the fucking nervous system.
all it takes is one traumatic event in your life and your nervous system shits it self no known technology can help all therapy does is teaches you how to live with it chemicals do some noticeable change but nothing significant.
Neutron stars are 10x more fucking interesting than Black Holes. They're literilly just fucking space vaccum cleaners that float around and slowly run out of energy, big fucking whoop. Meanwhile, Here's your average neutron star which is the size of a FUCKING SMALL CITY, 14km. It beams fuckoff radiation out of both ends and spins 69420 times a second. What's so fucking cool about Black holes now? You can't see it? It tries to suck your asshole?
Can men overdose on folic acid? My wife is pregnant (not mine) and her doctor has prescribed folic acid 5mg tablets. She has told me to take them instead at double the dose, so 10mg a day. Is this safe for a man?
