Before wrapping up, Diamond My mommy and daddy said don’t kiss me we don’t know where shirt to the limitations faced by most others. They are not typically intellectual superheroes. For instance, they often become resistant to new ideas and uncomfortable with ways of thinking even about mathematics that is not their own. They can be defensive about intellectual turf, dismissive of others, or petty in their disputes. Above, I have tried to summarize how the mathematical way of thinking feels and works at its best, without focusing on personality flaws of mathematicians or on the politics of various mathematical fields. These issues are worthy of their own long answers! There are only very few mathematical questions to which we have reasonably insightful answers.
