Grothendieck in his autobiography states explicitly that he knows mathematicians naturally far more talented than himself. He also writes that his own commitment,i.e. his will lo learn and to understand, was total. That goes a long way.

Why does no one know about him outside of academic mathematicians? I never hear anything about him even though he is probably the greatest mathematician of the 20th century. You can hear about Hilbert, Gödel, Turing, Erdös, Ramanujan, Hardy but Grothendieck gets almost no recognition in our wider culture despite his turbulent life witch you would think would make him a more popular figure.

Algebraic geometry is the best. Read EGA, SGA, and FGA, All else is brainlet tier

Why didn't you protect his smile /sci/?

I'm growing increasingly convinced that he was, although I think sending letterbombs was only desperate and in vain.

>I read his manifesto, wasn't that impressed.
Why not? Despite the media claiming that it's crazy talk, he mirrors the sentiment of a few other respected authors like Zerzan and Moore.

Even among mathematicians, Teddy wasn't the only one to take serious issue with (members of) society having too much power to do us any good. Pic related gradually withdrew from research as he started to appreciate what the military could gain from it.

For all you know, it probably only encouraged him to look into previous malevolent programmes which the CIA carried out.
