How do I solve one of the Millennium Prize Problems? where do I start?

even if i knew, i wouldn't tell you

you sure do seem to like talking about yourself on social media

RH is a complete dead end at the moment.
P=NP you might be able to solve.
Navier Stokes is a dead end.
Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, Yang mills and Hodge are all dead ends.
I would start by deeply steeping yourself in one area of mathematics, and maybe in a decade you might be able to solve one of them, depending on how far the related fields progress in that time.

but why are they dead ends? is it the lack of heads working on the problems or is there a more fundamental lacking in our understanding?

more of a fundamental lacking in our understanding. Everybody is working on them, everybody. Solving them will entail construction of new theories which don't exist at the moment.

Familiarize with the statement of a problem.

When you want to learn something specific and difficult it's often best to use a top-down approach. That is to say, start with the most specific content first and work backwards to understand everything, instead of trying to learn all the fundamentals and working your way up to a problem. You can save a lot of time doing it this way
So here's the problems
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mille
I don't know what any of them are, so I just pick the first one
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch
Then you just start reading. As soon as you come across something you don't understand just look it up. At the start there might be something in almost every sentence you haven't seen before. Here's the first sentence
>In mathematics, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture (often called the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture) describes the set of rational solutions to equations defining an elliptic curve
Say you don't know what an "elliptic curve" is, just stop there and look it up. Wikipedia is really handy for this because almost every important phrase links to another page with more information. So you'd read a bit of this page. You don't need to understand it all, you just want to know what "elliptic curve" means
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellip
Once you understand that you go back to the original page and keep reading
After you've got the general idea of what the problem is, you'll want to read through some actual papers
https://arxiv.org/search/?query=Bir
So you just use the same method. Every time you see something you don't understand you just look it up. Of course at some point you'll likely need to do some math practice to work out what's going on, but you will have narrowed down what you need to know from all the prior reading

What about Collatz?
