Initially it seemed like a good and natural way to extend the axiom of set theory to resolve basic questions like CH. Now it's just developed into a field of its own with its own interests.

Any time you see a subfield of math being dominated by the Japanese, you just know it’s pure schizophrenia with no connection to the rest of mathematics.
