Intuition would be it's going to be quite

the opposite where
it seems much worse for

the math people than the word people.

And what people have told me is that they

think within three
to five years the AI models

will be able to solve all
the US math Olympiad problems.

And that would shift things quite a bit.

In the early 21st century it's
way too biased towards the math people.

I don't know if it's a French Revolution

thing or a Russian
sort of Straussian secret

cabal control thing
where you have to prioritize it.

But that's the thing
that seems deeply unstable

and that's what I
would bet on getting reversed

where it's like isn't it
like the place where math ability.

It's the thing
that's the test for everything.

It's like if you want to go to medical

school, okay we weed
people out through physics and

calculus and I'm not sure that's really

correlated with your
dexterity as a neurosurgeon.

I don't really
want someone operating on my

brain to be doing
prime number factorizations

in their head while they're
operating on my brain or something like that.

And so in the late
80s early 90s I had sort

of a chess bias
because I was a pretty good

chess player and so my chess bias was you

should just test
everyone on chess ability

and that should be the gating factor.

Why even do math?

Why not just chess?

And that got
undermined by the computers in 1997.

And isn't that what's going to happen to

math and isn't that
a long over due rebalancing

of our society?
