Too much text, not enough unique-mental-activity.

perelman didn't go insane or full retard, he's just autistic

Is he? He just seems somewhat sheltered, averse to workplace politics and drama, and knows that his work was built off the work of a prior peer.

I'd say he's oddly like an combat sport athlete mentally who went into academia.

Galois isn't retarded he was just a hopeless romantic

The three Gs: Galois, Gödel, Grothendieck

it would have been way more romantic if he gave us lots more great math instead of dying like a dumbass

Can't ask too much from an angry 20 year old

>averse to workplace politics and drama
You...have done nothing worth a damn in academia. If you had, you would have become the enemy of your "colleagues" and be shitcanned.

Thats literally by design and part of the system. Tenure wouldnt save you, nobel prizes wouldnt either. Its that bad.

Bro, dying young in a tragic way is retarded. If you open the news today and find out that some teen agers killed themselves by:
> Quad bike accident
> Fighting in the streets
> Overdose
> Getting lost in the woods
> Falling from a roof
Or
> Shooting each other over a stupid dispute

You are going to think that those teens weren't ultra smart

perelman was the sane one
the crazy ones were the math community

>>17067365
I'm not going to say it's impossible to be mentally healthy and look like that, but...

Perelman was right

Because people haven't learned there's boundary force between each other. Maybe it has to do with the boundary of the universe expanding people are still finding their own weight.
