>>10873327Lol kinda. 90% of pure mathematicians are coping and living with an extreme case of imposter syndrome. About to quit that life and go the applied route, bros. My advice, deep down you know you're not that smart, you can't compete with any of the big names but you can do applied stuff, there's more experimentation and trial and error, it's also more fun if you do it right and easier to do collaborative work.
