About this video
Grigori Perelman, the only person in the world to solve a Millennium Prize Problem, declined the prize itself and rebuked the prevailing lack of integrity in the field of mathematics. I wrote a poem about it which is at 03:22.
Thank you Frederik M for the drone footage which I was happy to use as a background instead of recording my less than handsome face.
