>It has taken nearly four years, but mathematicians are finally starting to comprehend a mammoth proof that could revolutionise our understanding of the deep nature of numbers.

>The 500-page proof was published online by Shinichi Mochizuki of Kyoto University, Japan in 2012 and offers a solution to a longstanding problem known as the ABC conjecture, which explores the fundamental relationships between numbers, addition and multiplication beginning with the simple equation a + b = c.

>Mathematicians were excited by the proof but struggled to get to grips with Mochizuki's "Inter-universal Teichmuller Theory" (IUT), an entirely new realm of mathematics he had developed over decades in order to solve the problem.

This guy basically invented his own realm of mathematics to solve a seemingly unsolvable problem. How does one become a genius like him?

I don't get how come some people can just work for hours on end without procrastinating or burning out.

Sorry but was anyone keeping track? Nobody gives a fuck about mathematicians and what they're doing.

Go study a fucking field.

Why do NEET's think you can just achieve something out of sheer will? No, that's not how it works.

Go to college, read, understand, listen and keep doing it until you have perfected it. It takes labor to become a master, not nature.

American college is. Everywhere else is mostly worthless compared to Europe and parts of Asia.

You're a failure because you're unable to think that way.

If you don't care to listen, fine. It's probably easy for you to teach yourself a college level curriculum, right? That's why you're here?

I thought everyone here was nerds so I thought there would be some interesting conversation on this. Nope, I guess not. I forgot that most people here are the nerds who played video games, not the nerds who are intelligent.

Anyways, I want to know too. Christoper Langan (look him up) taught himself smart shit when he was in highschool so it's possible, but I have to do some more research. I'm looking up shit on mathematical metaphysics atm. I'm also looking up philosophy shit. Mainly existentialism because I'm a depressed robot and nier (robot game for robots like us) taught me about all the existentialists, like Sartre, Kierkegaard, Pascal, etc. If I'm not going to be a normal member of society, I at least want to be a well of knowledge. I'd rather be more sage-like that neet-like.

Good luck, my man. It's good to see someone who wants to make something of them self on this board. The world is lacking in intellectuals, imo. Which is ironic, because we have knowledge more available than ever. People lack ambition, I suppose. Anyways, live long and prosper, my dude.

What if it's passion for My Little Pony and naruto?

It must be isolating to be so high IQ in MLP and dominate everyone else in anime figurine collections. He must feel so above everyone else. Truly truly intelligent when it comes to anime... simply the next Einstein.... all will hail...

Note for all the normie brainlets: If you aren't born that way like you yourself certainly are not then you will never make it.

"""Studying""" will not do you as much good as you think, bootstrappers.

And a million others used that time to improve themselves in some way. Every minute you piss away is a minute where your ranking in your field of expertise goes into free fall as those who put in that time overtake you. Or you know, maybe time investment is not everything and they too piss away their evenings consuming media and browsing the internet but they just so happened to be born with a better brain that automatically puts them in the top 1% without even trying

Intelectuals are just fags who think they are above normies for knowing things, ascension comes from thinking and perceiving. Anyone calling themselves an intelectual is bound to the small circle of people that identify themselves in that way. Be worldly, recognize that unintelegent people are just as human and capable of introspection as you. Study philosophy and math not to pursue a status but to see your world in new ways.
Also getting your inspiration for existentialism from a fucking video game means 95% chance you get one fifth of the way through a book and drop it, not to mention the hypocrisy of you belittling 'video game nerds' as seperate from 'intelectual nerds'

People like this will be rarer and rarer as time passes, this guy didn't grew up with

We have too much entertainment to be able to achieve anything, it's too much distraction, people today just want to be happy, they don't really care anymore.

>>36532986
Utter bullshit. All it takes is a little bit of self control. Stop blaming things and start trying to improve yourself. No one makes you binge watch Netflix or spend all day on 4chan. I struggle with this shit but again Netflix doesn't make me watch entire seasons I do decide too and so does everyone else. If you wanna do some else do it. You're not a slave anything so stop whining like you are.

>>36531983
I can achieve things out of sheer will though. That's the fun of being an autist. I don't find math remotely interesting though. The things I do I can usually excel at.
>>
>>36533227
Even people that can ignore all distractions and have willpower to study and work all day
They're not getting into math.
They're not getting into science
Why? It's too much Learning and too little money.
This mathematician guy, developed a new realm of mathematics for decades and i can bet he's not remotely wealthy.
Smart intelligent today people just want to get rich
They're getting into business, stocks
Scientists, mathematicians, they have one thing in common
They don't have money.

Definitely, modern entertainment is the new cult. But as it gets more formulaic, not and more outliers will step in to produce truly interesting and innovative stuff. The people that don't care for anything beyond themselves are generally the same one that don't leave behind any legacy

Sounds like a lot of bull shit to me. People have always done things because they enjoy it not everyone is money motivated. Also people study a little bit of everything. People like him aren't going anywhere.

Where do you think you are nigger?

Are going to be remotely successful?
You think we're full of normies but we aren't
It's just LARPing to get replies
If you browse this board you aren't a healthy, productive, member of society to begin with
You can be a little bit less of a loser, sure.
But still a loser anyway

Nobody gives a fuck about your pussy you stupid fucking roastie

This is the issue with you women. You don't value the lofty goals to which men tend to aspire. You don't value achievement, accomplishment, perseverance, and greatness to any extent apart from as a means of social signalling

He's a highly accomplished mathematician, truly a genius, and all you can think about is whether he's physically attractive to you. That's all you ever think about.

"It's just numbers who cares, is this going to cure cancer?" those are the kinds of things you fucking roasties say.

You contribute nothing to humanity

You at either born with talent or not. Mochizuki had good genes and a good environment, so he was able to reach some of tops of guns achievement:m. Natural for him. Now for you and me, we are not so lucky. You do not become like Mochizuki, you are born like that.

That's why he said a nerd who plays video games/ a nerd who is intelligent. He wasn't claiming that either of those things defined the nerd you double digit IQ brainlet.

They don't teach you anything you can't learn yourself. Over expensive scam for a piece of paper that says you can kind of do some things.
In a better world degrees would be government controlled and be given to anyone who could pass a very hard competence test.

College used to be a place that challenged you to be a free thinker
Today college is lefty indoctrination center.
It's compromised
A Muslim boy writes BLM 100 times on paper and get into Stanford.
That's right, an ivy league University
Clock boy didn't actually build a clock
He took a clock already made and put it in a case
Got into the White House
Several full paid scholarships
There's absolutely no freedom of speech on anything
There are mandatory classes teaching man not the rape
There is affirmative action.
College education in the west is fucked.

I probably have no idea , but I assuming it's something that closely resembles inventing an entirely new programming language with crazy syntax that seems virtually impossible to understand unless you are the inventor yourself. Then again , I have not read the proof , and am not a very good mathemathician (literally just started college).
