Here’s what I commonly observe: the students who struggle in technical courses are those who skip the insight-developing phase. They capture concepts in their notes and they study by reproducing their notes. Then, when they sit down for the exam and are faced with problems that apply the ideas in novel ways, they have no idea what to do. They panic. They do poorly. They proclaim that they are “not math people.” They switch to a philosophy major.

Without insight you can’t do well.

This appears to be a relatively serious claim to have solved P vs NP.

Deciding P ≠ NP is a Millennium Prize Problem, considered the biggest open problem in computing science.

Since the diameter of a circle is twice its radius, the number τ can also be written as 2π. As discussed in “Π Is Wrong!”, it is therefore of great interest to discover that the combination 2π occurs with astonishing frequency throughout mathematics.

This is a popular theme — try Googling pi is wrong.
