yea why is terence tao lowk od

only thing feasible in this post is your naivety and lack of experience

so recently I've been thinking, would a pupil like you do extremely well in cp if instead of thinking about hypothetical questions, he was thinking about problems? Hypothetically speaking, if you started actually doing codeforces problems for a month then actually did contests on Codeforces, would you not be pupil in a couple months and maybe even hit expert? Personally, I genuinely think it might be possible but that might be due to me having too much trust for pupils like you. I aint curious about what you think, this is a suggestion for you to LOCK IN

probably yeah, he's one of the few people that can still do problems chatgpt can't

Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Terence Tao... honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on your Fourier analysis notes. The way you effortlessly manipulate equations and strike fear into the eyes of graduate students. Your silky smooth problem-solving techniques, and that gorgeous mathematical intuition. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you stop publishing papers.

You had a rough childhood being absurdly smarter than every human alive, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the chalkboard, you're a great teacher and mentor, sometimes I even call you professor. I forever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day stop solving millennium-level problems. I would sacrifice my own AMC score if it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face.

You have given me so much joy, and intellectual heartbreak over the years. I remember when I first tried reading one of your blog posts and it's like my brain got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I finally understood one paragraph, because deep down, my glorious king deserved it.

I just wanted to understand analysis. Then alas, you uploaded another beautifully written exposition and I rejoiced. Real analysis was a hard year for us baby, but then you dropped another incomprehensibly elegant proof and made history happen. You came back from a 3-1 inequality and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words, “Let ε be small.” Not only have you changed mathematics forever, but you've eternally changed my world.

And now you're getting older, but still the GOAT, my GOAT. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Terence Tao.
