What I love about it—his main point—is his conjecture that it's not a far step from the "challenge everything" mentality of the original punk movement to "challenge everything" mentality that the brightest kids engage math with. Just apply some rigorous thinking. It's a different way to approach math, directed to an audience that typically doesn't do a whole lot of it.
