    Everytime I hear this man talking I realize I have done nothing with my life.

      Never, never underestimate the fine and delicate art of doing nothing, especially if you do it well: There can be beauty, and even a certain degree of elegance, in doing nothing! - j q t -

      @@valor36az Every chapter goes roughly like this: Villani is having trouble with [some unexplained jargon]. He [talks to someone] [has a brilliant new idea] [lies awake all night] [drinks some tea] and comes up with a solution involving [more explained jargon]. He sends an email to his collaborator. This description, sometimes delivered in breathless prose!, takes up a page or two. We then get 4-5 pages of email documentation. The emails are between Villani and his collaborator, and after trying to make my way through a few of them I'm just skipping them, because it's all incomprehensible. Not only is this shop talk about some incredibly difficult mathematics, but the TeX used to describe equations is rendered in plain text, not equation text, so it can't even be read without effort (and I know TeX!).

    I would love to see some elaboration on that 15h/week bit (30:44). Anyone has any pointers to papers, videos etc?
    As for the talk, highly interesting, as always has been the case with the speaker.

      jesusoliveira2 the 15hr week was taken from a paper by John Maynard Keynes, 1st Baron Keynes CB FBA, was a British economist whose ideas fundamentally changed the theory and practice of macroeconomics and the economic policies of governments. Wikipedia
      I hope this helps you look up his research further.

      It's more near to Latin than English
