I think his story of triumph over his schizophrenia is the most inspiring aspect of his achievements.

[@orthodoxiechretienne847]

We both agree on that fact. An example for those who are fighting every second of their life against a mental disorder.

[@rei_cirith]

Also, his wife is a freakin' MVP. The steps she took to get him back, help him.

[@vladimirrisojevic3945]

I agree, absolutely. A little girl newer grows up! :)

[@frewofstew6304]

@@vladimirrisojevic3945 That is called getting insight! I call it the Helen keller fountain/water moment! It's the beginning of knowing! It's the beginning or realizing a problem exists! Then you can begin to find ways to keep it at bay. Yet. there may be times when even your insight may not prevent another break! Then you need medical intervention to come around and realize what has happened. Breaks can become few and far between...once you know what ..works for you.

[@jcdova29]

Nash and the other students in his Princeton classes had Albert Einstein as a professor. How awesome was that!

[@NYRM1974]

Professor Nash will be greatly missed.... Bless him for his brilliant work.

[@englemanart]

An exceptional presentation about an exceptional man.

[@heydj6857]

those closing words, we're going back to the US tomorrow, we might die together, that's faith. chills...........

[@2listening1]

That much mathematics 🧮 would make all of us hallucinate. I admire any mathematician, but he was more than that. A true great intellect. RIP

[@TheAmerican1963]

mathematics .....it's a language all it's own .......................

[@swampghost72]

I believe in what John Nash said about the powers of the mind..One can overcome mental health issues maybe not cure but overcome. I can relate having suffered from tourettes syndrome since childhood. I was able to overcome with channeling it into something else. most people cant even tell i have it..I physically count with my fingers and other more subtle things I do that interrupts my tourettes..That may not work for everyone, but i mastered it at a young age..

[@ShaldenAlassam-gq1yw]

2 years ago i started listening to voices everywhere i go, thinking that the voices were coming from my neighbor, i heard about schizophrenia but didn't think voices that ppl were listening to were real voices , it took me more than 3 months to understand that i was the only one listening to those voices, just after going to a psychatrist that she advised me to watch the movie a beautiful mind, and i don't know why but we have the same name and i am listening to voices everywhere i go but in my case i am 98% sure that it's pure mind manipulation, people are able to read in our mind

[@carliebeau5329]

This is an exceptional gentleman

[@karimacuna-askarsc.d.4504]

Nobel Laureate Professor Dr. John F. Nash, a heroe of Mathematics. It would be very interesting for the progress of Biological Chemistry and Pharmaceutics to look for the possibility of using Dr. Nash´s Equilibrium Game Theory for the development of new antibiotics as well as more effective chemotherapy drugs. The Game Theory may apply to better understand and predict the interaction of human physiology with new medical drugs.

[@ritvicpaarekh6963]

Sir if I recall correctly there was a paper that highlighted your general point about applying game theory to biology. Especially in the context of cancer treatment through che no therapy. This was by Katerina Stankova. Who argued for understanding cancer dynamics through game theory stackelbeeg equilibrium. Where in cancer based on how the player (cancer) responds by action to the pay off(impacted) by chemotherapy. The behavioir of cancer cells is of a stackelbeeg equilibrium. And that doctors can take advantage of how cancer responds as a game and since these cells are bound to their inner environment. They cannot access information externally. Hence cancer treatment can take advantage of this in a game theoretic sense. And not stick to traditional treatment with a single dose. So now there is a dynamic solution.

[@karimacuna-askarsc.d.4504]

@@ritvicpaarekh6963 Sir, I highly appreciate your valuable reply. I found Dr. Katerina Stankova´s paper on the evolutionary game theory to understanding and treating cancer. Interesting paper, hopefully, adressing cancer progression as a Stackelberg evolutionary game for cancer treatment may bring better understanding to advance on cancer treatment and ultimately save lives. I agree, a dynamic multiple-angle approach on cancer treatment may bring new hope for cancer patients. Thanks!

[@frankmubiru7535]

This is one of the most informative glimpse into the life of John Nash. I saw the movie, "A beautiful mind", way back in 2006 and found it unforgettable. However, the said movie showed up as part of the learning materials in my psycho-biology class on schizophrenia this week. There is still a lot of work to do for us to understand mental illness - when the mind goes on strike! Thank you HLF.

[@robinpowers7455]

One of many great men rest in peace

[@johnstfleur3987]

Thank you John Nash.

[@pat4rush]

Obviously a genius, and it has become increasingly difficult these days to identify the real geniuses among all the noise.

[@TomasBubenikPrg]

Genies not geniuses … 🙂

[@floydgondolli7321]

Just left us hanging with the fact he had a theory about space time that we will never get to hear...

[@catincavo]

A real genius!

[@erwinsiagian7051]

He is here to win...

[@mrp8811]

I absolutely love the idea there was a room with such minds they just chat about anything, Any subject of problems.

[@jcfra420]

God if they had just gotten a ride with the daughter we would have never have lost them. Chance is a fickle & cruel creature.

[@alexanderkorn4730]

At least in that specific way, dude's old and we all die...that's life

[@cg8397]

What daughter? They had only one son together

[@barneyronnie]

​@@alexanderkorn4730Yes, but his life was way more important than yours (or mine), since he had so many valuable ideas to offer!

[@annmorgana2848]

thank goodness he had a spouse who loved him.

[@keithwald5349]

Why is Marvin Minsky all bundled up like that?

[@barneyronnie]

Old age and disease.

[@johnstfleur3987]

VILLANI BIRTH OF A THEOREM. FELLOW GENIUS.

[@cg8397]

Not after Villani abandoned mathematics for politics, now he's regarded as a narcissistic opportunist

[@barneyronnie]

​@@cg8397He's a cute guy😊!

[@albahorsetraining6132]

27:20 what are those last words please ? Is that some kind of dark prophecy or what ?

[@Nostradamus-xp7pd]

I can't understand what he says either :(

[@pollymonopoly8803]

“We’re going back to US on the airplane tomorrow. We might die together.”

[@gabrielleb-g757]

God bless!! A great man whose presence will be missed!!

[@stephforbes8501]

I miss my cousin what people don't know how close I was to him it was in the late 70 and 80 when I was around him his mom was alway causes when I was around I knew in my heart he wouldn't done anything to hurt me the last thing I rember the last time I saw him his mom was saying he it a rough patch and he ended up into a hospital I lost touch after that back then I was dealing with my grandma two she ended up in a nursing home the whole family fell apart I ended up kinda being alone inside

[@aminawood1737]

Excellent

[@inserthere6387]

or computer science, amazing to see his reach in soooo many fields!!!! rip

[@chriswright2250]

Sadly did John Nash die on the NJ Turnpike in a auto accident?

[@busragazez]

türkçe çevirisini istiyorum

[@madcatattack1]

I love John Nash!

[@yaraviera4444]

It's a beautiful story

[@PaulSmith-tt2cy]

Electric engineering dad who encouraged him...

[@jonp3890]

Has Franz Liszt been reincarnated as a French mathematician?

[@cg8397]

No, it's just a narcissistic opportunist who adopted the traditional look (but not the traditional values) for attention-seeking purposes. He hasn't made any significant contribution to mathematics since 2014.

[@barneyronnie]

Yes.

[@barneyronnie]

​@@cg8397He's gorgeous, honey; maybe he's discovered something that's more fun ... like men! I'd love to get to know him, and I am a PhD mathematician in topological algebra. I hope that he's the marrying type. Sadly, I heard that he's straight. Arrghhh!!😢

[@sixhundredandfive7123]

Am I watching this? Is my own schizophrenic thoughts making me think I'm watching this? To someone who's mind doesn't work like everyone else's, Nash will be inspirational. When I solve the Reimann Hypothesis, he'll be remembered.

[@nm-de3bw]

Good luck

[@barneyronnie]

My first suggestion would be to embed various subsets of the graph of the Riemann Zeta function in appropriate higher dimensional Riemannian Manifolds...

[@ulhas678]

All mathematicians seem to have a very long life

[@barneyronnie]

Not really; I have lost several colleagues at relatively young ages.

[@jeromejean-charles6163]

3 counter-examples, all Field meddallists: Jean-Christophe Yoccoz (died 59 ) William Thurston ( died 65) , Vladimir Voevodsky ( died 51) . They all worked very had.

[@Llucius1]

Hearing the divorce part is so sad

[@johnstfleur3987]

Balance.

[@johnstfleur3987]

Conditions.

[@johnstfleur3987]

STRING.

i am also a schizophrenic the common variable (all ?)face in life from solid ordered mind structure is chaos how great or small one variable isolation of a variable is a temp operating theory leaning toward linear ordered solution clarity of function ordered yet all is poetry in motion for rested mind core beyond chaos or theory solution is so often time rested in data set i also have voices used math method to close them out filtering tuned from substance of linear focus illusion clarity also edopy / wall of math structure if moments of clarity in midst of?

[@yaraviera4444]

Is true he had a son..

[@cg8397]

He had 2 sons. He abandoned his girlfriend Eleanor Stier when he got her pregnant with their son John David Stier because he considered her to be beneath him socially. Though single, Nash was unwilling to care for Eleanor or John, and John had to be placed in foster care for a time. In 1956, Eleanor was forced to hire a lawyer in order to get Nash to pay child support. Nash's second son (John Charles Martin Nash) was born from his marriage with Alicia. He inherited schizophrenia from his father.

[@johnstfleur3987]

Patience please.

[@chrispbacon3042]

Yes and?

[@johnstfleur3987]

SIMPLE.

[@johnstfleur3987]

[@markphc99]

Scientifical (opening sentences) is not a word , or at least a very archaic one.

[@rickycalais3356]

Well… which is it? Not a word… or a very archaic one?

[@ZTenski]

A genius that could have been saved by taking 2 seconds to buckle his seatbelt. I guess everyone is a little foolish sometimes. Rest in peace Doctor Nash.

[@pollymonopoly8803]

I don’t know all the details of that particular accident but a seat belt doesn’t make anyone immune to death. Car accidents can be especially violent, especially the kind they were involved in. And at that age, it’s debatable whether a seat belt would have changed the outcome. Going from +100kmh to 0 instantaneously is incredibly violent.

[@krl133]

​ @Polly Monopoly So far as I heard, they was thrown outside the car, without a seatbelt it wouldn´t.

[@jeromejean-charles6163]

Was the taxi accident properly explained. I am not into conspiracy at all , yet Nash being a communist...

[@AlexCoombes123]

The taxi driver was very new to the job. 2 weeks in. I doubt there’s any ill will behind it. Just a tragedy, like Stevie Ray Vaughans death, his helicopter pilot wasn’t liscense to fly in those conditions. Both tragedy’s, not so deep for conspiracy’s though.

[@coheng1496]

the ones left behind, the lsoers :(
