Math Community Slams Tech People for LARPing as Mathematicians Over Hodge Conjecture
ctjlewis · x · 2026-10-11
A user from the math community harshly criticized tech personalities who tweet to thousands of followers claiming working understanding of the Hodge conjecture after taking a single linear algebra course. She argues the problem involves algebraic cycles and cohomology — you can't even define a Hodge structure without climbing through half a mathematical curriculum — and this kind of posturing misleads the public.
