Theres this epidemic of people trying to larp mathematics in order to flex their iq. This dude made a post about how he "derived" the geodesic equation but he did it in the most convoluted and complex way possible. "muh 6 hour derivation"
no joke you literally can derive this exact equation if you know the chain rule and product rule in less than 2 minutes by setting the derivative to 0. Henry taking calculus 1 could unironically derive this equation. Here it is I wrote it for u
of course he chose the most complex way possible and people in the replies not knowing any better thought he was actually smart or something.
Also this dude is acting like he discovered the derivation himself and didnt just ask chatgpt to copy the derivation onto a document to larp iq on tiktok fags
This is a repeated situation with these "math tiktokers" they never actually solve any problems and show their work in order to prove they have any actual knowledge on what they talk about. They only copy results from wikipedia and will intentionally use the most complicated way or arriving at the result in order to appear smart.
