Mathematical Immortality Trumps All
Behold the hierarchy of historical flexes! Simón Bolívar got a country (Bolivia), Queen Victoria scored an entire era (Victorian), but Euler? That mathematical madlad got the most fundamental constant in mathematics (e) AND a gazillion equations AND a whole method of solving differential equations! While others were conquering land, Euler was conquering REALITY ITSELF with his big brain energy. The ultimate flex isn't ruling people—it's when your name becomes immortalized in every physics and engineering textbook for eternity! *adjusts safety goggles while cackling maniacally*

Documentation Is Important For Scientific Progress
Ever tried finding your keys from 50 years ago? These NASA legends just did that with a SPACECRAFT! 🚀 The Voyager team managed to communicate with a probe 25 BILLION kilometers away using documentation written when bell-bottoms were still cool. Next time someone asks why you're writing comments in your code, just point to the sky and say "That thing's been running since before I was born and we can STILL talk to it." Now THAT'S what I call legacy support!

Remember What's Really Important
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!

Mathematical Fame: The Ultimate Obscurity Package
Mathematical fame is just *chef's kiss* spectacular! You spend your entire life proving theorems and revolutionizing numerical concepts, and your reward? Some sleep-deprived grad student in the year 2157 mumbling "who the heck was Pythagoras again?" while flipping through a dusty textbook at 3 AM. The ultimate flex in mathematics isn't getting your face on a magazine—it's having your name attached to an equation that tortures students for generations! That's immortality, baby! Your legacy lives on as thousands of future humans curse your name during final exams. Fame in STEM is truly its own special brand of obscurity with benefits!
