I will leave you to read about the man who refute a million $ prize and read his reasons

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Perelman

Do you even understand WHY he refused the prize? It was because correct work shouldn't have to be rewarded (and because Hamilton's work was equal to his). That doesn't negate the fact that the work still needs to be reviewed and be reproducible (ie, peer reviewed), it just means let's not waste time and money standing around and applauding ourselves.

That still doesn't have anything to do with any of the previous comments.

Just read about his views over publishing industry

[–] Alue42@kbin.social 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I really don't think you have a grasp on what his view actually were - and people tend to try to twist what little is out there from him into what they want it to mean. Being disillusioned by the infighting for credit amongst his peers is not the same as having an issue with publishing. There's nothing in that argument that says publishing or the industry is the issue - just the arguing for credit. The only information he gave about why he stopped publishing was that he didn't want to be in the public eye like he was on display like he was in a zoo by being offered rewards.

I mean he said it openly about publishing on axive instead of a well known journal
