Why don't we hear more of this godlike genius?

Inb4 "he's not that smart." He attended university math classes at 9. NINE. btfo

he's not that prolific

because math is about praising original solutions to problems, not some autist with 1 in a trillion genetics
if you want to jerk off to some person you'll never meet then reconsider your life

not OP but I walked past his office/him a couple times when going to office hours for other professors on his floor

Wow

He did enough to get a Field's Medal.

>expecting anyone besides other PhDs to care about developments in pure mathematics

good luck giving the pop sci treatment to the stuff he studies
honestly for most Americans any math more complicated than trig is moon rune nerd shit tier (maybe calc I if they went to college)

feel like that's true of almost every country. even here in EU it's not like the average person is going to understand modern pure maths research

Tao makes a fairly decent amount of money, UCLA must have to pay him this so he doesn't leave

So is the $300,000 starting meme real after all?
