mandelbrot came and talked at the place i was working ~5 year ago,
during a book tour of his re fractals & the stock market iirc. he had
(rip, no offense, i'm just being honest) one of the most horrible
presentation styles i've ever encountered. it was as if he were
actually born and raised in connecticut and had a very plan and proper
american accent but decided his stock market book was too
transparently fake (i don't know, i'm just being hyperbolic) and so
announced, "i know! i will fake an *impenetrable accent*!" to prevent
people from noticing he wasn't making any sense.
