Turns out genius mathematicians, just like average people, go a little crazy when you subject them to a shitload of LSD and torture. Who would have guessed.

Who would have guessed.

Apparently, not the CIA from 1953 to 1973

"Have we tried more LSD?"

Did the CIA hire everyone from Unit 731?

Not only genius mathematicians, we have good examples of genius biologist with Kary Mullis. Though to be fair I'd much rather live in the same city of Kary Mullis, I'd probably enjoy a beer with the guy every once in a while.
