So this is what the best top tier mathematician 500k/year presentation looks like

It's as if you don't believe all the constant propaganda saying he's smart.

That's just a testament to his extremely high IQ.
Dijkstra wrote all his notes on paper using a Montblanc fountain pen. Andrew Wiles found his proof working out of an office which only had three things: a desk, an extremely big pile of paper, and an old telephone.

good job, you are operating at the level of an hr department.

You choose the good day. There are many targets. To people, we're the worst. Perhaps ever if judged. Maybe it's time to play by life's rules, pleasure in heaven, let go of what doesn't truly matter. Soon, leavers will be disliked it's that much about saving this 'future'.

Why do people confuse being a good researcher/scientist/mathematician etc. with being a good teacher?

Is there any reason to suspect such a thing could exist? It sounds a lot like a meteorite breaking up in just the right way can solve problems.

Live writing on a board is always bettter than presenting preprepared slides, which is a lot like reading from a book. The audience wants to see how you think about the subject on the fly, to see the progression of ideas in action, and writing while presenting is a great way to do that.

High paying jobs are pure grift, yes
This is why they made you take 4 years of writing in high school

I hate that he criticized Trump, because now we lefty Perelman Chads can't drag him without being thought of as salty redneck chuds.

People might give him shit for the telephone, but dial-a-whores are actually tolerable replacements for muses when you have Wiles' physiognomy. My respect for him has grown.

is the punchline of this that you would need to solve the halting problem to solve an arbitrary navier stokes problem?

The punchline of this is that the majority of his "presentation" would've been speaker reference notes on the podium. Even if you believe Tao is something special in his field this kind of presentation would've been throw in the garbage in any undergrad course.
This is the sort of shit the laziest community college student would do.

maybe if they paid him more than 500k chang might have bothered to make better slides.

This is an interesting take; however, when you read a book, you are presented with the non-stylized form equivalent to what is presented here. Don't be mad when genius communicates itself in the simplest ways.

Myself remember a presentation of a Spanish nerd, barely speaking English and hard to understand. The foils are way worse than this. But the audience -as we say over here - hang on his lips, totally silent because what he says was outstanding. Content rules, not form

I'm still not convinced by his and Green's paper on arbitrarily long APs in the primes. I believe the result is true—just like I believe Polignac's conjecture is true—but I'm not convinced that either has been proven.
