Redpill me on Shinichi Mochizuki. Is he legit, or is he a scam?

Total scam.

Go read the quanta article about Peter Scholze. That guy has had serious deep insights, and proved incredible things through the creation of totally new theory that is actually understandable (by experts, and by advanced grad students for that matter). Dude is gonna win the fields medal.

Just because something is `hard' (ala IUT) doesn't mean it is `right', or indicate that the author knows what the hell he is talking about. The true insights which revolutionize fields come from making things look easy and understandable (to experts, but still).

that was an interesting read but it doesn't demonstrate IUT is a scam.

Mathematicians have zeroed in on the leap of faith, which occurs in Corollary 3.12. Pic very related.

See comments here furthermore.

You have to be really stupid if you think these kind of mathematics means anything. It s just a game.
