>>11701324I believe that there comes a point in both mathematics and philosophy where work becomes so esoteric, convoluted and sophisiticated that it either becomes functionally unprovable or nonsensical. A line is blurred between emotion, reason and nonsense. Honestly I believe several thinkers have breached this line many times before, Mochisuki and Langan included. The thing is, almost all work donde is this manner is caused by egocentric thinkers believing that they can work on research independtly of anyone else.
The sad thing is, because of the previous fact, almost all work done in this way becomes useless, no matter how brilliant it was; this is almost explicitly because such thinkers developed their work independtly. It is obviously much easier for academics to check pieces of your work in an incremental fashion than to check massive theories for falsiability all at once.
Sadly I also believe that as we reach the limits of human knowledge, and work ecomes more and more convoluted and abstract, these sort of ocurrences will become more and more common, drawing a possible end to hyperspecialization in the sciences.
