Footnotes Memes

The ultimate academic mic drop! This brilliant footnote about T.J. Kaczynski being "better known for other work" is the scientific equivalent of saying "Oh, that elegant mathematical proof? Just a side hustle before becoming the Unabomber." Academia in a nutshell: spend years crafting perfect proofs and publishing papers nobody reads, while history remembers you for something completely different. That tiny footnote is basically saying "Sure, he solved this complex mathematical problem... but that's not why he's in the history books!" Next time you're stressing about your publication record, remember that your CV might not be what defines your legacy. Sometimes it's your "other work" that steals the spotlight—hopefully not in the Unabomber way though!
