Reached for further comments after his controversial decision, Perelman told the reporter:
A reporter who had called him was told: “You are disturbing me. I am picking mushrooms.”
There are 3 reasons he didn’t accept the award and the money:
His turning down the Fields medal got less coverage in the mainstream media than it could have because Pluto got demoted right around the same time and the public only had room for one science story.
His eyebrows were sentient and forced him to reject the rewards.
“I’m not interested in money or fame; I don’t want to be on display like an animal in a zoo.”
Maybe the millennium problems can only be solved by those who are of such pure heart that they don’t even want the money
I thought that was Paul Scheer.
how old is that pic? otherwise, he looks pretty young for his age since the last time anyone has seen him
What’s with these nerds rejecting money and notoriety for something they’ve dedicated their lives to.
for the love of the game
Really curious if some math-geeks can unpack this dude a bit more. Reading his wikipedia site, he seems surprisingly…well…normal.
What an idiot
お前みたいなやつがいるから、世の中\*アホ\*ばっかなんだよ!
リンゴ好きかどうかとか、どうでもええわ! ポアンカレ予想解いたんだぞ!
100万円の価値くらい知ってるだろJK。 お前は知らないのか?

Love of the game
要するに、\*マジ\*で興味なかったってことだろ。 結論!
Noli turbare circulos meos
FYI….
バレバレだぞ!\*ステマ\*乙!
Perelman has avoided journalists and other members of the media. Masha Gessen, author of a biography about Perelman, Perfect Rigour: A Genius and the Mathematical Breakthrough of the Century, was unable to meet him.[54] A reporter who had called him was told: “You are disturbing me. I am picking mushrooms.”[55]
