Hi Andre. I read the Manin interview in the AMS Notices with much
interest myself last week.
With regard to your request for comments, I can only repeat von
Neumann's remark after Goedel's lecture as cited recently in Logicomix:
"It's all over." I couldn't agree more. Like a rat trap slamming shut
on a rat that we no longer need fret about.
That the rat's ghost continues to haunt so many is an interesting
commentary on human nature.
Cheers,
Vaughan
