Math is one of the least specific fields of all…

I’m struggling to think of a field that is more general. Information theory? Oh wait, that’s a sub-field of math. Communications? Eh it’s pretty general but math has it beat handily I think.

The idea that it is “done” or “out of interesting problems” is just absurd.

I’m open it the possibility that it’s harder than it was before to find and articulate interesting problems, but that is a very different claim.
