Why is there so much interest in terraforming mars but comparitively little on utilising the same Earth sciences to geoengineer the Earth?

Why did we let the writers get a hold of Philosophy? So many of the worlds and societies issues could be resolved through philosophy and the spread of knowledge and ideas. Instead its this masturbation tool by psueds, it was the root of knowledge at one point. Now its just an edgy husk of itself with neither any concern for ethics or the betterment of self or mankind.
Philosophy in academia is a circle jerk
Philosophy outside of it is just rationalization and non-sense that wants nothing to do with Math or the Sciences.
And in both cases is mostly just roleplay.
Why did we let Philosophy become so useless? To clarify I'm not saying that it is, I'm asking why are we letting it be useless.

Then you haven't read enough. Sit through the damn entry-level philosophy and keep reading. Ask /lit/ to hold your hand if you need to.

Most intro to differential equations courses don't use 3D calculus at all.
Linear algebra does make Calc 3 a little easier, but not as much as you'd think.
You'll be fine.

What the fuck are you taking this semester then? Gendet studies?

linear algebra is far from necessary to pass calc 3

Bump. What you might be looking for is something called "logic". The study of logic, however, may not suit your mathematical tastes. Perhaps you mean constructive mathematics? Constructivists argue that math is subjective, and that there are many different ways one can construct mathematical objects. Set theory (and everything else for that matter) being one such example. (This is my unfamiliar opinion)

Law is prescriptive rather than descriptive, therefore no, it is not a science.
Why don't we just take the CO2 out of the atmosphere and lock it away somewhere?

what are trees?

Only young forests help.
Old forests are very inactive, so covering the Earth in trees will only make a difference while they're young and growing.

I see, you could always just chop em down use the wood then replant them no? seems more viable than an industrial solution.

I have a hypothesis that blood loss slows the aging process in the same way a low calorie diet does and that is one of the reasons why women live longer, on average, than men.

Yes. I was shit at math. I had some low tier calc textbook that covered calc 1-3. I did at least 10 problems every day. Even if its a low tier, as long as you have a decent professor and a lot of practice problems, the physical textbook will be worth having. Well, it was worth it to me.
