| Dec 10, 2017 at 3:02 | comment | added | user44143 | @bof, I too use that phrase, but I'd never seen it in a survey! | |
| Dec 10, 2017 at 2:42 | comment | added | bof | @MattF. Wow, I didn't know that the phrase "I am inclined" has become unusual in these diminished times. I don't know who constructed the survey, but I'm inclined to suspect John Addison, for no reason that I can put my finger on. Well, maybe because it is so carefully written. | |
| Dec 10, 2017 at 2:40 | comment | added | bof | @MattF. Hmm. 125 people attended, and 80 people voted, so not just the invited speakers. | |
| Dec 10, 2017 at 1:31 | comment | added | user44143 | +1 for the informative and meaningful question II B' (2). I wonder who was there that would have written that survey question so well -- googling the unusual phrase "I am inclined" (google.com/search?q="i+am+inclined"+mathematician), would it have been Halmos? | |
| Dec 10, 2017 at 1:03 | comment | added | user44143 | We have the list of ~50 people who spoke at the institute, a cast well-known even 50 years later. While the proceedings are not readily available online, the end matter is: ams.org/books/pspum/013.1/pspum013.1-endmatter.pdf (vol 1) says that the organizers were Paul Cohen, Abraham Robinson and Dana Scott; ams.org/books/pspum/013.2/pspum013.2-endmatter.pdf (vol 2) has the list of lectures on pp. 11-14. | |

| Dec 7, 2017 at 3:30 | comment | added | bof | @JoelDavidHamkins I believe there was a conference book, and it must have contained a list of participants. | |
| Dec 7, 2017 at 3:28 | comment | added | Joel David Hamkins | Thanks! It is really great. I wonder if we might be able to find out an attendee list, to get some idea of who were the likely respondents. I am surprised by the level of opposition to the absolute universist view of truth, in 1967. | |

| Nov 19, 2017 at 13:32 | comment | added | Joel David Hamkins | I would also like to see the full survey, and I suggest that you post it. | |
| Nov 19, 2017 at 12:30 | comment | added | Asvin | @bof At least one person (me) would be interested in reading the extended survey. That might not be sufficient reason to derail the thread. If you decide not to add in the rest of the survey, could you send me an email with the survey at [email protected]? Thanks. | |
| Oct 19, 2017 at 3:16 | comment | added | bof | Apparently that 1967 survey was never published? Should I expand my answer to include the rest of that old survey, i.e., the part about measurable cardinals and the part about number theory? | |
| Oct 19, 2017 at 3:09 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @AsafKaragila I hope you get to do this at some point. | |
| Oct 18, 2017 at 23:04 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila♦ | @Gerry: Considering that the next conference I attended after that post was over a year later, no. I hadn't even remembered this more than a couple of months after posting, I guess. Certainly not until today. | |
| Oct 18, 2017 at 22:17 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | @Asaf, did you carry through on this? | |
| Jul 7, 2014 at 8:16 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila♦ | Wow, that's pretty awesome. Now I want to do that in the next conference I attend. | |
