The mathematical equivalent of "you can't fix me" energy! This meme features Grigori Perelman, the legendary mathematician who solved the Poincaré conjecture (that sphere-donut situation in the top left) and then turned down the Fields Medal and $1 million prize money. Surrounding him are the artifacts of his brilliance and eccentricity—topology visualizations, Navier-Stokes equations, P vs NP problem diagrams, and the simple pleasures of coffee and cigarettes. While everyone's saying "I can fix him," Perelman's out here casually revolutionizing mathematics in his humble attire, completely unbothered by conventional success metrics. The ultimate "my genius doesn't need your validation" flex in scientific history!
