Everything that can be invented has already been invented. Didn't someone say that over 100 years ago?

Nothing new here. I told my mother this as I handed her my report card in 1958.

What mathematicians are trying to get is insight and understanding. If God were to say, 'Look, here's your list of conjectures. This one's true, then false, false, true, true,' mathematicians would say: 'Look, I don't care what the answers are. I want to know why (and) understand it.' And a computer doesn't understand it.
Ummm, build better computers?

Really? I can prove that 2 + 2 = 11.

Math has been the only sure form of knowledge since the ancient Greeks, 2,500 years ago. Um, I beg to differ. My spouse and I know a different kind of knowledge. And it's not Greek.
