>Part math book, part online event, Punk Mathematics is an introduction to mathematical thinking for people who question everything.

And for my first question (cribbing from Russell)

Well, what about people who question "question everything"?



I'm going to guess they're authoritarians of some kind. If not that, they're going to do what people who dwell on paradoxes tend to do: go insane, come up with a shoddy rationalization, or become comedians.


Or spend the first third of the last century rebuilding mathematics.


Well, there are always outliers.
