A Beautiful Mind

Just watched the full movie...

Yes, its an old movie, but somehow coursera was trying to get me to understand the cultural situation where the Turing device was born and introduced it to me. I'm supposed to be doing my quizzes but end up spending two full hours on entertainment instead.. lol... if this happens in NUS I don't know if i will graduate...

Having heard so much about game theory in uni days, I didn't understand what it was really about, much less the John who came up with it. I guess this is the inspirational kind of movie for computing students?

Its so awesome isn't it? Coming up with a theory to analyse life situations, even better, come up with something that others can use to apply to other life situations. Like putting project management into a drawing that routes solutions for every problem that comes along the way. I wish I could come up with a theory to analyse project management like game theory! But even if I did, I wouldn't be able to put it down in graphs and equations like how mathematician John did.

Albeit a rather -dark- movie, and of course it does bring about some debate about what is life worthy of? A mental illness and a nobel prize? I guess I'd choose peace at home and warm at heart.

-correction- sorry, I forget, schizo is an inherited gene... debate goes on, but its not related to schizo and nobel prize..
