Help me /sci/ I know it's not related to science that much but why the f*** I can't read body language and social cues. I don't think I'm autistic. What are the other causes? I have sometimes (read : almost always) problems with it in school. What should I do?
Thanks in advance.
Pic... I guess somewhat related?

Go out more, speak to people more.
>>9089945
Yeah I would gladly do that but I have anxiety from people and I don't know where should I go when I'm out to meet someone new. Btw me initiating conversation is impossible.
>>9089970
Autism and alcohol makes it hard/impossible to correctly read body language. Stay sober.
Try listening more than speaking, that is an easy trick. Remember few girls are known to be autistic, it is thought that they are better at "blending in".
Stupid Questions General
Post all your stupid or small questions here.
Beginning with me how can exponentiation bring 0 to 1?
How come we have handprints and finger prints and toe prints but no armprints, elbowprints etc.?
that's where the limit converges try 2.71828183^.00001 and 2.71828183^-.00001

There was already an SQT
Who would win, Grothendieck or Mr Phenotype?
>>9076343
Grothendieck's work is far more significant as long as String Theory remains untested.
>>9076357
But his head is too small for serious thinking

>good morning class, today you will all be expected to equally grasp this new material at an equal pace as everybody else during this short arbitrary allotted window of time under the assumption that you will gain a working knowledge of the material before an arbitrary test date set by an arbitrary unit of time that designates a semester!
when will the classroom meme end? Did Plato have to sit in a crowded classroom and expected to learn the same material as a hundred other students? Did einstein really learn all that he did directly from the classroom, or did he learn it all himself where he could take his time?
>new material
You're supposed to read before the lecture, brainlet.
No, MOOCs are not relevant.
>baaaw, why don't meanie adults accomodate my special snowflake self???
If you can't learn the material in time alotted you have to a) study harder or b) make peace with the fact that college is not for you.
>arbitrary test date set by an arbitrary unit of time
Your ability to hold a job, should you manage to graduate, will hinge on you being able to meet deadlines that you had no say in, so you should probably start getting used to that now.
>Did Plato have to sit in a crowded classroom and expected to learn the same material as a hundred other students? Did einstein really learn all that he did directly from the classroom, or did he learn it all himself where he could take his time?
You are nothing like Plato or Einstein.
In case you didn't know, there is a total solar eclipse coming up, and this kind of shit doesn't happen often. Anyone else here going to see it? If so, where?
>>9076210
I'll be heading to casper, wy. I've been stoked about it for a long time. August is almost here, feeling pretty excited about it.
What about you? Where will you be headed?
I made a thread about it a few days ago, there's a few anons going.
First day of classes is 21. But I have a gap in the afternoon. Sun will be pretty well cover ed by us.

Do you think martian colony is possible in today's technology.
If so, would it be economical to create it?
Possible? Yes.
Economical? No.
>>9089397
Could it ever be economical? The only resource there that i can think of is iron. And we have tons of it on earth.
Yes, if can pump enough money. There's no realistic way to make it profitable though.
what if dark energy
*sniff*
was god?
>>9076164
Please stop.
dark energy is just a slave for light energy's tedious interactions

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest - whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories - comes afterwards. These are games.
-The Myth of Sisyphus
Sounds like something a depressed faggot would say.
The vast majority of people can easily tell that life is worth living.
>>9089280
Albert Camus is not a faggot but you're.
>>9089280
Are you saying that he is depressed because he says that, or that he says that because he is depressed?
Can you get oral thrush from worshipping somebody's feet if they have athlete's foot. I'm asking this purely for academic reasons, I promise.
>>9076001
yup. Brush your teeth frequently to keep it under check.
Yeah, since you probably have AIDS already.
Does anyone here have subscription to Nature?
Could he post screenshots of this study? It's just 3 pages long I think.

Sci Hub is amazing.
How do you even solve it without variables.

ei i got a legit question on academics, how the hell am i supposed to solve a shit load of questions in no time, i mean like doing tests i get mostly a shit load of time consuming questions adding to that some questions that require some thinking, and all of that in a loud environment, louder to be a test taking class.
so the hell? am i missing something on how-to take tests?
>>9075784
It's easy if you're not a brainlet
>>9075784
The first thing you should do is fix that "loud environment" problem. Never have I seen a test taking class be loud in any way possible so there is definitely something weird there.
Anyway, to fix the time consuming problem the solution is simple: experience. After you read a problem you should be able to immediately jump in, not necessarily with a full solution in mind, but with an idea of how to start exploring the problem. This is really important. If you read a question and have to start slowly remembering what you know and see where you can go with the problem then you are doing something wrong. It should be like muscle memory. The moment you read a word in the problem it should start triggering memories so that immediately you are getting into the problem and how to solve it.
So yeah, practice more. git gud.
Wait, are you complaining about the cacophony (loud chatteriness) of your environment? If so, that may be a problem extrinsic, or not pertaining to the inner quality of yourself.
Oh wait, letroll lol
Almost got me, bro!
Will we ever have cities looking like this?
>>9089227
Yea, minus the flying cars and random vertical lines though. Some cities probably already look like that.
no, we are nearing the great stagnation
>>9089227
No, flying cars are a complete meme. Well unless they're autonomous. But even then they're probably still a meme.
I keep forgetting things. I'm 28 and work as a software engineer, and, although I have been learning new things in recent years, I have forgotten so many things from just a few years ago... 3 years ago I did an MS in computational finance, but haven't really used that knowledge professionally since, and I've forgotten the simplest stuff that was second nature back then, like how to write a Monte Carlo simulation for a Weiner process...
It's making me wonder if I have alzheimer's or something. Does this happen to anybody else, or do I should I have my brain looked at? Or do I just not learn things the right way and there's a better way to commit them to long-term memory?
>>9089070
>or do I should I have my brain looked at
There's my broken brain, lel
People forget things that they don't need.
Regardless, the kind of disease (CJD) that would cause this in such early age would be completely irrelevant to fuss about since it's really fast progressing and fatal.
>>9089088
Well, I might test myself... revisit some of these concepts and if they look familiar and I can pick these concepts back up with ease, I'll assume it's just a normal case of disuse.
Otherwise, I'll just retire and live what little is left of my life in peace, kek.
