>How does one learn to cast off one's ego in mathematics?
I guess the “””strategy””” that has always worked for me is to simply treat mathematics (and anything else i approach) the way a child does when first encountering a new toy/object. It’s not about ego at all, it’s about curiosity and satisfaction of learning and’s discovery being its own reward. This is what makes truly great Mathematicians/Scientists/Engineers. Ego and petty competition is for people who are mentally stuck in High school and feel the need to look cool in front of each other, even if it comes at the cost of their own growth and success. Fuck what other people think. They will never achieve anything and they are to be ignored
