I had read the whole interview at vulture, but still posted. I don't think it's less crazy sounding. I just cherry picked it a little. They're entertainers, by trade, and this interview is part and parcel of their trade. I think they're being *entertaining* in the whole interview. Mathematics don't evolve. Certainly we can learn more about math, and those changes in our understanding can resemble the changes in individual organisms from generation to generation, but.. not the same thing.

Now maybe I'm just picking in the young man. Will is equally entertaining in his own way; another one... a bigger quote for context, in a discussion with the son about famousness. Dad (Will) steps in to help his son, which is fine, but the bold part? That's really pretentious, an ace away from disingenuous, in my opinion.

Quote:
Jaden, how does it feel to be famous?
Jaden: I think it’s fun, except when people make up stuff about you. Then it’s not so much fun. But besides that, I enjoy it.

It’s been reported that you might be dating Kylie Jenner. The Kardashians have treated their fame as the family business. Do you guys see yourselves as similar or different? [Will, laughing, holds up his hand for Jaden not to speak.]
Jaden: I’m trying to understand.
Will: Don’t. You know, he’s never had to, to deal with those kinds of questions.

Well, forget the Kardashians … maybe you could just …
Will: [Mimicking] “So how do you think your life is similar or un-similar to people’s names in Calabasas?” For our family, the entire structure of our life, our home, our business relationships—the entire purpose is for everyone to be able to create in a way that makes them happy. Fame is almost an inconsequential by-product of what we’re really trying to accomplish. We are trying to put great things into the world, we’re trying to have fun, and we’re trying to become the greatest versions of ourselves in the process of doing things we love. So the idea of fame or exploitation or orchestrating the media is sometimes even less than desirable for us.
