What good there is in arXiv and Front for the Mathematics ArXiv/arXiv
tends to come from Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, Chicago, U. of Florida
Gainesville, U. Texas Austin, and at the bottom of this particular list
(and lowest in contributions of the universities mentioned) MIT and
CalTech.
Why? The usual answer is "money", and State Universities give each
other a knowing smile when they discuss it so to speak. But if I'm
right in my last thread on sci.physics.research vs sci.physics, "money"
across the nations of the world tends to do more harm than good with
regard to Creativity!
But there's little doubt that money has something to do with the
Creativity of Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, and even MIT and CalTech's
lower but still competitive level. But what exactly does it have to do
with it?
I think that in Insane sociocultures, even the most Sane people survive
best by imitating the Insane at least for a long time. In the USA, the
Creative Geniuses can be less tortured by Bureaucracy in some of the
richest universities provided that those universities have a good
precedent of survival of other (previous) Creative Geniuses. In
Russia, I suppose that those who play chess with Indians are less
tortured by the Materialist Catch-Up-Playing Bureaucracy. In the U.K.,
I would look for Sir Roger Penrose. In France, perhaps Baron
Rothschild. I'm still trying to find the good Saudis. Wahhabi,
Wahhabi, wherefore art thou ? :>)
