Well, as Russell has asked me, just how do you intend to spend<br>the next trillion or so years (granted that we get lucky) if<br>not on mathematics?<br>

While I don't have an actual plan for the next trillion years - I put
it into the category of "wouldn't that be a nice problem to have" :) -
it does occur to me that it would take far, far longer than that to
walk down all possible roads, write all possible books, sing all
possible songs, tell - or live - all possible stories, even assuming we
stick to the human-meaningful subset thereof.<br>
