In the early 1900’s, he discovered a logical paradox that shattered mathematics for years, and drove brilliant people literally insane (one of them died in an asylum later on).
He then tried to redefine mathematics based solely on logic; but he failed after a 1000-page manuscript… and that was only the first half of what he intended to publish.
There are countless valuable quotes by him and anecdotes, he’s a very inspirational man.
Dude’s a fookin legend !

Unrelated, genuine question: Why do some people write “fookin”?
Is it just for fun?
Do you pronounce it that way?
I personally write “fucking” and rarely “fuckin”.
Just curious.
