interesting unless you are prepared to actually learn about a subject,

That's especially true for the major problems in a subject - you can
be sure that they have been studied incredibly hard. There are
occasional recreational problems (like Galvin's paper folding) that
an amateur may pick up from time to time, but you can be sure that
there's nothing truly revolutionary in their solution.
An amateur is exceedingly unlikely to find a short proof of FLT, or to
resolve the RH.
Only an idiot would waste time looking at these problems without
reading about what others had done.
think that he is a giant and so does not need to stand on anyone's
shoulders.
He is mistaken.
