In the early 1900’s, he discovered a logical paradox that shattered mathematics for years, and drove brilliant people literally insane (one of them died in an asylum later on).
He then tried to redefine mathematics based solely on logic; but he failed after a 1000-page manuscript… and that was only the first half of what he intended to publish.
There are countless valuable quotes by him and anecdotes, he’s a very inspirational man.
I think it’s use is popularized by the tv show ‘Peaky Blinders’ with the Birmingham pronunciation of the word.
Some have accustomed themselves of writing a bit more cautious, as multiple platforms have active swear detection (not the reason to use it on Lemmy, but there were are).
Dude’s a fookin legend !

Unrelated, genuine question: Why do some people write “fookin”?
Is it just for fun?
Do you pronounce it that way?
I personally write “fucking” and rarely “fuckin”.
Just curious.
I thought it was to emphasize that they are Australian, but that’s just because of a character in a book that I read.
