I agree with your comments here. It's refreshing to see some semblance of reason on forums/social media. Concerns me with how these venues have become inundated with radical and low brow content. I see it across the political spectrum. Been using forums since the late 90s. Up until the mid-2010s I'd argue there was much much more reasonable discussion to be found. I don't doubt the proportional rise in bots have some play in it. Seems these places of discussion have become nothing more than a plot to sow hate and propaganda within our society. I miss the days when the vast majority of the population thought it silly to participate on these internet places.

Looks like you have a misunderstanding of what a mathematical proof is. I have but a mere bachelor's in applied mathematics and employed as a statistical engineer for a couple decades now. If a proof is successful at showing a mathematical statement is true, it's a done deal. It doesn't work like science which relies on mathematical models to explain its anecdotes.

There are massive libraries or repositories of scientific/mathematical published research throughout higher education institutions and across various technological industries. The required training data exists.
