yeah all you need is latent talent and a fields medalist to mentor you
>>9014069
Wow someone with a lot of latent natural talent and genetically high intelligence excelled even though he started late.
Really noodles my noggin.
also that guy who proved fermats last theorem

He didn't care about publishing useless work like most people.
It's not that he bloomed late.

He did really bad in some of his courses when he was doing his masters degree and got rejected by various grad programs. No one is denying he was not talented.
But, I guess there is a mind disease with people on the chans where positive stories can only be met with cynical snickers.

Negativity finds a way!

I'm just being realist not cynical or negative. He did bad because he had no formal training, the more training he had the better he did and his talent was always there.
And it would've been all impossible had it not been for meeting Hironaka, who taught him exactly what he had to know about singularity theory in order to prove the Rota conjecture, and who gave him his letter of recommendations that got him accepted into a phd despite his bad grades.
You're all acting like we can all be contenders for the Fields medal if only we study hard enough.

Not everyone can be but no one knows until they try. It's better then sitting around here mopping about how much of a brainlet you are.
