I understood a fair bit of it but only because I've been studying elliptic curves for a while - Quanta does a good job of straddling the line between informing and educating, but they usually err on the side of presenting results rather than proving or explaining them.

And that's exactly what I like about it. They are a news site, hence they present the news. If the news presenters start to chime in you get what you see at CNN / Fox etc, and that's called propaganda, not news. I want news.

you're worried that they'll explain 3rd degree polynomials with a leftist bias?

The overwhelming majority of their publication on organics has an unmistakable bias toward D- sugars ...

I mean, look at all the insane places leftists have shoehorned gender crap into lately. I wouldn't put it past them.

Ah yes, leftists shoehorning gender into checks notes elliptic curve math discussion.
