there once was a network called lightning.
the recklessness seen there was frightening.
a space-suited cat made a torch out of sats
and we all wanted in on its heightening.

I have a new lingo with mrs allen: “OSA’d”. it’s when she sends me a tiktok and I can’t watch it without a tiktok account because of the Online Safety Act. I’ve been OSA’d.
she sends me a lot of edgy shit so this happens pretty regularly.

I think it’s a literary allusion. it suggests that there is more to follow that links to bitchat (hence not a full stop) but which also stands on its own, is full, and is blossoming with potential (hence not a colon).
the fact he left it blank suggests an invitation to the reader to actively contribute to constructing this narrative rather than merely passively consuming.

I’m not claiming he got credit others deserved because lots of people chipped in. I’m claiming the framing of “he solved X problem” is extremely misleading because he actually solved a completely different problem.

so in other words he should get all the credit in the world … for proving a reduced version of a separate conjecture.

2025-08-22 22:42:50 UTC

he proved a reduced version of the taniyama-shimura conjecture after others had proven that *proving this* would imply fermat’s last theorem.
saying he “proved fermat’s last theorem” is precisely what I’m claiming is kinda bullshit.

damn that’s smart

2025-08-22 21:13:14 UTC

looking more into Fermat’s Last Theorem and it’s kinda bullshit that Wiles “solved it”.
Frey and Ribet did the part that is actually relevant to the classic Fermat formulation. Wiles gave a partial solution to a different problem after they proved what such a solution would imply.
so I guess I’m just grumpy about that now. thoughts welcome.

PSA: I will be working over the coming weeks and months on turning this into something respectable to be pumped into tradfi capital allocation circles.
in other words, they will be tricked into reading a nice shiny report the TLDR that they are responsible for the biggest scam in the history of capital markets when they could have just stayed humble and stacked sats.
with that in mind, any novel comments or feedback very much welcome!

increasingly thinking mainstream economics literally doesn’t even know what “supply” and “demand” are, and that extending the MMA analogy is useful in elucidating the methodological flaw.
