Is modern math a joke?

Modern math is a joke, but your pic is only a brainlet getting filtered by entry level math.

why is it always the troons that can't do math?
you'd think schizophrenic autists obsessd with Voevodsky would learn some math, but they all turn into these caricatures

Why are troons obsessed with Voevodsky, I don't get it? He was a serious mathematician not a popularizer.

Not the word I'd use.
It just has some trends and is arguably more boring for it.
Set theory etc. aside, the dominance of algebraic geometry and topology is sickening. Those are relevant topics to study, but they are 10x overrepresented as to what they should be.

To be fair, the logicism developments from around 1870-1910 are still seen by many as "the foundation"

Filtered, many such cases

HoTT is very close to CS and CS troons who pretend to know category theory also seem to love pretending they know HoTT
the only accomplishment of troons, as in every other welcoming community they infest, was driving actual mathematicians (like Grayson) away from HoTT - to no surprise, no troon could replace them because they are talentless schizoprenics who can't actually do any mathematics, hence the stagnation
the only way to avoid this is to have secular communities instead of welcoming every freak of nature as if they're your equal

If it were a joke then you'd be laughing, its an insult to all intelligent people. its only funny in the same way that six month old milk tastes funny

yes
jokes and nonsense keep the students happy
modern math is about unifying the foundations of education philosophy in Europe a.k.a. the 1875-1925 surge in what started as the Roman compulsory education system

You can actually get away with entirely avoiding algebraic geometry and topology if you do applied math.

It's dominant for a reason. It has incredible depth and breadth, and touches pretty much every subject in mathematics.

Yet the majority of the content of the subject is irrelevant to those subjects.

Take any polynomial of the form:
[math] a * x^n + ... + e * x^2 + f * x + g = 0 [/math]
We want to find the roots of the function. If we plot this function out on a graph where x is the domain and y is the range, then we know the roots of the function are the parts where the function touches zero.
This is the simplest case of algebraic geometry. We viewed the solution to our algebra polynomial as a part of a shape (that is the curve of the function), We could also have a function of the form, say:

[math] x^2 + x + 2y^2 + 3 y = 0 [\math]
Then this shape would be a sheet instead of a curve that we are attempting to find a range of zeros for. Algebraic geometry studies the properties of shapes like this one that can be represented using algebra.
