    Post The Man Who Thought Too Fast

    The Man Who Thought Too Fast - Frank Ramsey—a philosopher, economist, and mathematician—was one of the greatest minds of the last century. Have we caught up with him yet?

    This is an interesting story. I put it in the book and poetry club b/c it was in the New Yorker books section. I am always fascinated by historical great thinkers. This one intrigued me.

    On the other hand, there have been young geniuses who lived long enough to fizzle out.

    I have seen a few bios on Hawkings and studied a lot of his material regarding Cosmology. He was an incredible intellect.
