>>13392832he's a nepotism jew that was born with above-average intelligence, stop idolizing him like he's a God. This board is obsessed with him. Have you seen interviews with him? He talks like an average guy who had a passion for STEM. That's it. He doesn't blow you away, shooting earth shattering logic at your mind until you die.If people on this board only lived and breathed math, they'd be pretty close to him. Especially if we had jewish connections. I know from experience how big of a shortcut knowing "the right" person can give. It can save you a couple of years, and that doesn't make me smarter or better.
imagine if:
>you had perfect, supportive parents>your had relations through your parents and race>had money through your jewish connections>were lucky to find your passion from a young age and focus solely on it, ignoring everything else (he was an atrocious driver for example)>focused obsessively on math>above average intelligence (not just "IQ")Part of this amazement people have with historical personalities is that the marvel at the "godliness" of these people, ignoring their context (race, parents, friends, money, luck, genes, culture, etc.). Once you understand that this context exists, it all becomes understandable.
>Most of the world’s mathematicians fall into just 24 scientific 'families', one of which dates back to the fifteenth century. The insight comes from an analysis of the Mathematics Genealogy Project (MGP), which aims to connect all mathematicians, living and dead, into family trees on the basis of teacher–pupil lineages, in particular who an individual's doctoral adviser was.nepotism in math:
