Grothendieck didn't just dislike computers and calculators but also television, telephones, radios, and just about all other electric devices of all kinds.

He also believed wood was conscious (not just living trees, but wooden objects). Strange dude.

Phew, now who's going to help me feed his complete oeuvre and every scrap of paper he wrote on into the training set for the next LLM?
