Claes Act

God, the world is a confusing place- noisy, bustling, information overload! What we need is a piercing intellect to make sense of it all, and the courage to shout about what they find. In other words a man like Claes Johnson.

Unafraid to ask the awkward questions, unafraid to do science without numbers and unafraid to quit beloved institutions of which he is not a member all in the name of conjecture! I cannot guess what he would prefer for his first course. He, I suspect, will tell me!
“I hereby announce that I would have resigned from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, had I been a member. Well, I am not a member, but I am,  as the only Nordic mathematician, on the ICIHighlyCited list of the world’s most cited scientists”

  2. I'm disgusted his essays aren't taken more seriously by the so-called "scientists", especially when he's written his name on the top and everything.

    I myself do not believe in this climate scam and do not believe my doctor when he said I have an inoperable tumor. Nor do I believe in Norway.
