" algebraic geometry is like plotting the equation of a circle" this description and definition is as helpful and accurate as saying a circle is approximated by a square. Pop math writers need to stop likening something as complicated as algebraic geometry to high school algebra.

Wait, what? Are you claiming that mirror symmetry is "secretly" Langlands? This is not my understanding, and I'd appreciate a citation if you are indeed making that claim. Moreover, it does not seem to me that, for example, the Clay Millennium problems are all glosses on the same underlying problem, so I'm a bit confused by your statement.

I would like to read more on this, do you have any further references?
