Ordinary fools are all right; you can talk to them, and try to help them out. But pompous fools—guys who are fools and are covering it all over and impressing people as to how wonderful they are with all this hocus pocus—THAT, I CANNOT STAND! An ordinary fool isn’t a faker; an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible!

A bit about me
editI learn and teach (on and off) math - mainly applied math in ML. Currently immersed in proving the various theorems in the algorithms of Reinforcement Learning. I also studied law (to evade it).
If I'm very active here, there is a lot of work that I am avoiding.
