having a theorem named after you is relatively easy, what's really hard is proving a conjecture named after someone else. Wiles proved it and it's still "Fermat's Last Theorem", meanwhile there's lots of theorems with trivial proofs in the sciences, named after the first person to realize this was worth talking about

It's kind of weird we don't have separate words for "theorem you give a lecture about" and "theorem you teach a course about"

Ugh, was having a great time mocking my recently imprisoned rival when I noticed the camera positioning makes it so that I appear behind the bars, thus framing me as trapped in a metaphorical prison of the narrative, now my whole day is ruined. Fuck.
