Are you afraid?

Pretty dumb of them to assume that:

  • Equations and algorithms are useless
  • A life spent in academic pursuits necessarily ends in loneliness

Also solitude != loneliness

I think the context is important. For a person who's scared about being alone their entire life, any equations in their mind is pretty useless in comparison. Again, "In comparison" for such a person. It's just a correlation between the 2 points

Also, correlation isn't causation, hence, they arent saying anyone pursuing academic pursuits ends in loneliness.

It's just, that person is doing academic work and feels that it's all stupid if he/she is gonna die alone. It's like when people say, why are people so corrupt and running behind money, when they die, it's all meaningless.
It's in the same lines...

This is my dream life. I don’t have to deal with complex bums emotions and responsibilities. Life is a curse. The guy living this life as shown and described in the pic is my dream life.

This is the dream. I would never take opinion of a person with e/acc in their name.

Seriously I'm not afraid, this would be the best relaxed feeling for me.

No, I would love this.

Sounds like a template for a peaceful and productive life in later age, being involved with mentally-stimulating and productive work, and not having to deal with social interaction drama, nonsense, and boring social smalltalk.

I hope to do something like this after retirement from my current job.
