Insight Memes

Ever notice how the greatest mathematical insights come when you're not actively thinking about the problem? That's Ramanujan's whole vibe right there! The legendary mathematician claimed his groundbreaking formulas came to him in dreams, delivered by the Hindu goddess Namagiri. While Western mathematicians were busy with their "silence, reason" approach—methodically working through proofs—Ramanujan was over here with "intuition is talking" and casually revolutionizing number theory without formal training. His intuitive leaps were so profound that mathematicians are STILL unpacking his notebooks a century later. Next time someone questions your "eureka moment" in the shower, just tell them you're channeling your inner Ramanujan.
