>Where's Terry Tao?
Tao is uber knowledgable and incredible at what he does, but this arithmetic proofs ... he chose to do irrelevant stuff. It's really a waste, in a way. Of course, he is working on Navier Stokes and Turing complete systems, both much more relevant, and I hope he does something significant there.
At the time being, the univalence people in OPs pic imho do actually pretty and relevant stuff.

reading biographies of the most famous mathematicans and scientists, most don't seem happy tbh

Some Chad leads the better live. If you like math, I'd go for a mix of the two instead of being the best at some silly mind game.

On his site, Tao is picking up the dichotomy of David Hilbert.

Just saying.

I'm eventually also interested in the <span class="math">(\infty,1)[/spoiler] world, but I can't for the heck of it find a self-contained presentation of weak cats and Luries stuff is above me. I'm also not really interested in pure math, or let's say not in proving old open homotopy problems Lurie seems to be motivated by.

The new Terrence have not enough time for shitposting, he must catch up with his missed childhood.
I'm also not extremely motivated to read his 20th century stuff. I wish Lurie and Konsevich would post here though.

I would have written it down but I forgot. I think at the beginning, 9:00 something.
