Ramanujan was a god amongst men if there is a geometric interpretation for this, i'm dying to know..pic.twitter.com/1AFlLOIltT

Not all mathematicians like clunky formulas. Or formulas. And no, I don't think he was a "god among men". He was a hugely gifted person who was denied appropriate education (and food/care) by a cruel system. Very likely that many more like him have perished unknown.
(1) On your first point, I'm actually not a huge fan of this formula aesthetically either. However this equation has a much different beauty, i think. The kind of beauty that a blues dissonance takes. (2) I agree with everything you say after this.

I agree that Ramanujan's specific gift is VERY rare, even among mathematicians, and you're right, I don't know how he did it. I bet no one does. I still claim that we don't know what and who we miss by robbing people of opportunities.
