How do smart people work so hard and become so smart? >pic

This is pretty much why I dropped out of school.

I got really depressed thinking about how little I achieved and how much work I had ahead of me.

I wish I could be a highly educated person with dozens of awards, but it'll never happen so o well

These Princeton graduate students look just like any other robot, yet their brains are OP.

How do they do it? Seriously, I want to know their secrets.

Sure, they probably don't get laid, but at least they can console themselves with the fact that they're probably in the top 0.01% of people in the world in terms of intellect.

>>34939044
Honestly, if your iq is over 100 you can get pretty far in life if you work really hard.

You don't have to be a genius to get all of those qualifications and awards, although it does take a lot of time.

>>34938903
studying is their hobby
most people think of school as a chore, some bullshit you have to force yourself to do so you can get on with your life. they actually enjoy it

>>34939180
>tfw you actually like to study and read but not within a rigid structure.

B-But women are stoopid!

Genes

When you go to college they don't tell you you're literally competing with people who have have lawyers and doctors and diplomats and even royalty in their family tree going back centuries

They probably should

Having met a LOT of these people in my life they are really not that impressive.

They just LOOK impressive. That's the whole game. All that stuff listed doesn't mean shit. It's just lines on paper. Idiots like YOU are impressed by it and that's the point. To look impressive to idiots. That's the whole game anon. It's all about appearances. They go out of their way to get the brand name schools and a whole bunch of irrelevant awards to make themselves seem more capable and legitimate when in reality they're the same dumb apes as anyone else.

Often they don't even realize it themselves, they aren't all self-aware. Most are just pushed into this shit by their parents who likewise believe that it actually matters.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to get academic """""awards""""". Academia is a giant circle jerk.

This is a quality post. The guy shouldn't bother you because he doesn't have exist in a material sense. It's like getting bothered by the Chad abstraction.

Sigh. Those people are high IQ geniuses without mental issues.

It's all genetic bullshit. You cannot do anything about it. I mean you can work your ass off but that's not enough to get to that level.

I know exactly what I'm talking about.

t. math major

>>34938903
I'm a pretty gud math major myself, but except for student loan issues in your fuckstate I don't get these overcompensating fucks who roll through a program in record time. they're only crippling themselves in other parts of their lives and putting other people's expectations on them with not much real return. better to go about it slowly and comfily when you're on that level already

>>34939353

It is genetic.

However intelligence is not so easily predictable.

In my math major, for example, the top of the class have the poorest less educated parents. My parents are also no educated and I do better than people who have engineers as parents.

But yeah, especially in highly competitive fields, it all boils down to:

1. have a very high IQ
2. don't have mental issues to get in your way (depression and adhd are the big ones).
3. have somebody to set you on the right track

>>34938903
>How do smart people work so hard and become so smart?
Their parents made them do it.

>>34939688

Lol what are you talking about? It's the only thing they are good at. No reason to waste time trying to do something else. Do you think they could be a well rounded individual? Fuck no. Do you think they could have a relationship or a gf? Fuck no. They are like pro-athletes. Their only sense of accomplishment comes from getting further in their fields.

I wish I was half as decent as them. Instead I'm just as ugly and socially incompetent but not smart enough to earn awards for my math skills :(

man, i've seen people talk about the blindness of some people on this board and how they're always trying to find excuses to why they fail - but i've never really believed it until now.

>>34939365
>>34939353
you guys are pathetic

>>34939353
I'd have to agree. I was simply born intelligent (or at the very least with a near-photographic memory), so I easily coasted through the majority of my work in life. The moment I actually had to start putting forth actual, genuine effort, though, I quit, because fuck that noise.

>>34939792

You probably have never met truly intelligent people and are talking completely out of your ass.

Just like not everybody has the athleticism to play in the NBA or compete in the 200m sprint, the same is just as true for academic fields.

Not everybody is smart enough. Look, no amount of hard work is going to get a person with a 100 IQ to graduate with a Math BA from Harvard. It's not going to happen. Not to speak of earning all those awards.

You lack perspective.

>>34939365
Mate, she was one of the best Mathematicians in the whole of Romania from a young age. Did you see that list of awards?

Scientists should invent a pill that increases your IQ to 200+ and cures all mental illnesses so we can have a world where everyone can fulfill their passion in life.
In the world we live in right now you're either:
>smart and can be the biggest douche in the world and everyone will be sucking your dick 20/7, and if anyone opposes you they are obviously just jealous, you're always the good guy
or
>dumb and no matter what you do you will always be treated like you're the worst kind of person who ever lived and making fun of you will be okay because you deserve it

>>34939872

Holy shit. She's the perfect waifu. Good looking and a literal genius.

There is one girl in my class who is like that, but she's not nearly as good looking or as smart.

And I still don't have any chances even with her :(

>>34939889

Literally impossible.

What will happen in the near future is that people will be able to predict the IQ of their possible children and maybe select for some genes that are linked to intelligence. Of course the technology will cost a ridiculous amount of money and only be available to the ultra rich.

I hope I not around when those douchebags start popping out.

>>34938903
just reading the thesis titles makes me tired

whenever I try to learn something even slightly complex for just five minutes, I want to go to sleep immediately

>>34939867
the genes guy then.

desu, you're the one speaking out of your ass. i've met and worked with some great people (mathematicians and physicists), and lots of them come from humble enough origins. they've really just worked hard at it.

and contrary to what some people in this thread might think a lot of them are normal and well rounded individual.

>>34939994

"humble origins" <> "not genetically gifted"

I'm not the guy saying that your parents must be geniuses for you to also be a genius (though the correlation is definitely there).

But you need those intelligence genes none the less. Hard work alone is not enough.

Maybe you lack perspective the other way round. Maybe you don't realise how dumber than you the average individual is.

For the education one I think a lot of its down to parents.

I got on very well with my old HS teacher whose children had equally impressive educations, but him and his wife barely passed uni so I doubt it was inherited.

I think he just pushed them very hard (one of his children committed suicide when training to become a doctor)

>>34939990

That's a symptom of ADHD. Getting that feeling of lethargy, low energy and tiredness when you try to apply yourself.

>>34939777
shit life philosophy right there

I prefer mooching of my european state for as long as possible while kicking ass in the shadows than end up like my friend who just got a doctorate position in sub-regular time but who can't talk to other people, which for some reason, I don't know, reminds of some themes which are common on this board

but at least he also got some stupid award right

>Good looking
>6 foot tall
>Social with a large circle of friends

How many of these ultra-Chads exist? I've only met 1 in my life (that dude) and to top it off he isn't even a douchebag. He was always read to help me out in class and was friends or at least friendly with most people.

>>34940046
>I think he just pushed them very hard (one of his children committed suicide when training to become a doctor)

Because he literally wasn't smart enough and the parents expectations were too much for him to handle.

Intelligence and scholastic aptitude are not the same thing.

Some intelligent people are lazy or have no interest in reading or learning.

Some average people are very hard working, always do their 100% and never feel tired, fatigued or bored. They have a laser like focus on whatever their doing.

Some people have none and others have both.

>>34938903
>become so smart

You don't become smart but studying a lot an specializing in a field grants you knowledge others won't have even if they are smarter than you.

Put it this way, a smart person will master 10 skills by the time you master 1 but you will still beat them as long as the skill you learned is unique to you.

>>34938903
It's not magic. She's probably just above average IQ and spent about 6000 hours in total studying those listed specialties. Most anons in this thread would be experts in their field if they spent their vidya time on academic study.

>>34940055

What year are you in? What country?

I'm essentially doing the same thing.

>>34940068

Still, she got in which you wouldn't expect if they purely let the smartest people in, intelligence is inherited and education has nothing to do with it.

His other children graduated fine

They enjoy the work they're doing and are motivated. Most robots lack motivation and don't care. At least I don't. I'm going to school now for business and I don't care for what I'm studying. I spend most of my time teaching myself how to write screenplays and novels. It all boils down to having drive and ambition. You can to truly want what comes at the end of the tunnel.

>>34940056

Fuck those guys. Make me feel like a downright subhuman.

I know two of them.

Why does life have to be so unfair?

Like seriously whose that asshole god who decided that they should play life as the protagonist heros and me as the side character who is completely mediocre.

>>34939743
This probably. I'm wicked smaht (really) and my parents never cared or required anything of me. "Just do what you like, anon", they said. So I became a NEET.

>>34940158

Perhaps drive and ambition also have a genetic component.

>>34940099

>Most anons in this thread would be experts in their field if they spent their vidya time on academic study.

Lol no. What if I tell you that she can learn 10 times faster than any random dumbfuck. What if I tell you that there are math classes that are beyond the comprehension of the average person, no matter how hard they study and no matter how much time they invest in it.

I kind of enjoy learning.
Stuff like functional programming languages, signal-processing, things related to computers and such.
I am actually quite good at studying, but I don't really have any motivation to do it at all.
Which is why I am just floating along my university CS degree, never spending any effort, getting good, but never very good marks.
For better grades I'd have to invest more than a few days of learning, which I don't see the point of.
There was once a point where I did have some motivation, and I aced that shit, but afterwards I realized that it really doesn't make me happy at all.
It's just too much of a bother, and if it doesn't incite my natural curiosity spending too much time on it actually makes me feel depressed.

What kind of sucks is that people aren't very accepting of that.
They all want me to spend my best effort, because they see that I can do it and become an overachiever.
You can't really explain that in your opinion there is no point to it, and you'd rather spend your days lazily in piece.

>>34940194

>Perhaps drive and ambition also have a genetic component.

It is. At least not having mental illness helps a lot and mental illness is definitely genetic. Both ADHD and depression are inherited to some extent.

I came from an affluent white suburb and went to an Ivy League school. So did most of my friends. That doesn't make me anything special. Except for a few truly exceptional individuals (faculty) they're all just people. The students are normally pretty smart but it's far from "another breed."

Seriously. You're giving them too much credit.

iktf bro

thing is, I usually understand everything very well when I'm learning from books or a lecture script, to the point that I can apply and explain stuff months later, but that isn't enough to get consistently very good marks

instead of just understanding things very well, you have to reread the same dumb exercise types for an endless amount of time and memorize formulas to such an extent that you can use them without thinking, then do some stupid exam in 60 minutes, and that seriously fucking sucks

I also hate lectures, I don't get much benefit out of them, would rather read at home desu

>>34938903

This is why I'm NEET and why I'm a KHV. I just can't compete with Chad and smart people that apply themselves. Chad is just superior to me in every way so women have no reason to ever choose me over him and employers have no reason to choose me over a person that has a resume like OP. I'm just not good enough. I was born a peasant in an age of kings. I look like a peasant, have the body of a peasant, I was born to die in war for Chad.

>>34940239
>It's just too much of a bother, and if it doesn't incite my natural curiosity spending too much time on it actually makes me feel depressed.

I am this exact way. I struggle to study anything I don't personally give a shit about. When I was in college studying business, I had to read a 20 to 50 page chapter on stocks, and globalism, and management a week. I did well in the classes, but I skimmed the books and often didn't read. It was so dull. My father has called me lazy all my life. Over these past few days, I finished a 300 page psychology book about relationships, making notes for myself. I am only lazy about things I don't give a shit about.

>>34940216
>What if I tell you that there are math classes that are beyond the comprehension of the average person, no matter how hard they study and no matter how much time they invest in it.

It doesnt mean anything. Math is a logical language that builds upon itself in incremental steps. Higher level mathematics is not some deep Rain Man Good Will Hunting magical 10 page equations of greek letters that is beyond the capacity of the average person - it just requires a lot of time, dedication, study and practice of the basics onwards to get good at math.

On top of that higher level mathematics is a gigantic fucking clusterfuck of fields. No one can be expected to learn everything, that's why mathematicians specialize in specific fields

Really, what it sounds like is you just making excuses for being a retard who doesnt want to put in the effort to get better at anything. Because why bother when you can just blame the invisible hand who pushed you into being a useless retarded fedora neet?

>>34939872

actually this is kind of underwhelming when you look at where she came from

all the parts of her CV after her PHD are above average in terms of grants (she accepted templeton money REEEEEEEEEEE) but I work in engineering so I don't know how competitive math grants are. Still, it's expected for phd/post docs to get grants (or teach) and part of your job is literally just applying for as many grants as you can, so that's just another way of saying 'I did my job as faculty'

to be honest she might even be depressed looking at where she came from. 1st place and all these student awards makes me think she was trying really hard in school to be the absolute best since nobody is just casually award first place in math competitions. Even if she was a prodigy, look where she ended up- just another teacher plucking away at esoteric research topics in her field.

Not to discredit an impressive cv of course. I'm talking more about just the trajectory of her life. She went from wanting to be the best to just being another professor.

>>34940352
I have no problem with memorizing all of those details and such, but it just takes too much time.
I don't want to spend a week or two crammed up somewhere every day, trying to learn every detail, only to spew it all out on that piece of paper, and forget it the next day.
And in the process your whole mind becomes way too fixated on these 90 minutes, it really turns me crazy and depressed.
Seeing my fellow students and friends doing that I notice that for them this just comes naturally.
They don't really have any problem with that.
I just don't think that I am made to be a student, or whatever.
But I don't care, because I am going along just fine, and I don't need to be an overachiever.
If something interests me enough I will learn it by myself quite well.

So much this. I work harder as anyone other student in my subject. I learned 2 months before the exams for 4 hours every day and... I failed, in the easiest exams.
I cry often and in my semester holidays I basically lie in my bed and cry, play sometimes videogames and movies so I'm not kill myself and I have my Teddy who I cuddle (and I don't care if this weird for an 23 years old men, I have no fucking friends, my Teddy is one of the few things that would never left me and who I care about).

Masters here in a top 20's STEM program for my field.

When you start looking at the amount of work needed to actually land a decent tenure-track job anywhere these are the types of CV's you need, shit gets immensely depressing. Academics are some of the most over-qualified and under-compensated people in the workforce today. The problem with grad school is you're in a constant battle to trying to keep from painting yourself into a corner.

Ask yourself this one question; what is missing on this application?

Work experience.

Generally, private sector employers will frequently pass over these kinds of students because the common perception is that you're probably an autist. You've sunk so much time into academic pursuits that it's likely you won't function well in the kinds of team based work environments commonly seen outside the ivory tower. Not to mention that most employers will generally feel as if they're forced to pay you more than a comparatively qualified candidate without the degree.

So you've got research experience in one hyper-specific academic field that no one gives a shit about, all you know how to do is write grants and you have no demonstrable team-based work experience. The only people who will hire you are other academics. If you're not cream of the crop, odds are even that you'll spend the rest of your life languishing either as an assistant professor at a shit-tier university with garbage pay, or worse yet, you'll be an adjunct until you finally realize they literally don't give you enough money to live.

And that's in reference to STEM academics. If you're getting your post-bachelors in humanities or arts... good fucking luck you dumb ass.

TL;DR: Get a masters, get your ass into internships that provide you with relevant work experience then GTFO as soon as you can. Academics is a clap trap. Don't fall for it.

It's literally hell on earth being born stupid. Every day I live with the endless pain of knowing I'm inferior to almost everyone around me. I'm not even trying to fit in with society any more, I'm fucking doomed from birth. Zero will power, slow learner, terrible social skills, average IQ, ugly and short.

At least I'm strong/fit enough to purge my enemies.

Harvard/Yale are a bit over-hyped. But not MIT/UC Berkley.

I studied nursing because it's easy money and unbeatable hours. I wish I'd have gone into something that was negligibly more difficult but a little longer and a lot more fun like medicine. Of course had I gone into medicine I'd still be unhappy and wish I'd gone nursing for better hours or maybe agriculture microbiology since that's where my true passion lies. I'll never have the funds to carry out any real experiments but I get some enjoyment out of reading journal articles. Every now and then author takes pity on me and hooks me up with a copy for free. It's fucking bullshit these journals want $50 each for 3 or 4 pages of content.

You've obviously never spent any time outside of your ivory tower if you think these kinds of people are not that much smarter than the average person.Just 2SD above the mean makes a person many times smarter. I've spent time with people both above and below the mean as well as right around it. The differences are profound and can't be explained away simply as culture. These people are just better than us little people. It's a humbling experience for my 126 IQ ass to drown in the glory of a 130+'s presence. I can't even begin to imagine what goes on in their minds, and would be willing to kill a whole fucking village to have it.

No, no it's a lot easier when you aren't smart enough to how illogical of a system you live under, or how rigged the game of life is, or how corrupting of an influence wealth is, or how stupid (or malicious) the people who run the world are. I could go on, but I won't. The saying "ignorance is bliss" holds a lot of merit to it and ignorance is much easier to maintain when you have a painfully average level of intelligence.

That is the inverse of what is true. Stop making excuses for it. They (the rich, successful) know they have it good.

Having family members in academia and several others who just went to Ivy League schools but aren't professors makes it easy to see that they're not really anything special.

It's not even a real mentality. It's just what they try and tell the poor to prevent them from being envious of them. They don't believe it for one second.

One of the main things rich people try to do is prevent the have-nots from killing those who have.

What I wonder is how all these scumbags seem to spout off the same line of bullshit, often times verbatim, at the same time.

Do they all read from the same manual or gather in meetings to discuss what bullshit they will sell to the poor?

>>34941952
You don't have to live in this society. Really this society, it a threat to life itself, and I'm not just talking about humans. Although humans are victims of what the world has become as well. If you were to do something you would be hero. You already don't care to fit in with society, why not take things a step further. You say you're strong enough, give up this life

>>34942882
I agree. The people in the best universities in my country aren't some sort of super geniuses too intelligent for /r9k/. They're just normal people who cut a big chunk off their free time to study.

I don't know if this applies to american universities. Isn't it pure nepotism to get into prestigious schools like Harvard? With the recommendation letter and tuition? Here it's merit based, you take an entry test.

>>34942939

Yeah it is wrong. It should be 'laude' because 'cum' preceeds an ablative.

>>34942866
no, the nominative is Laus which means Laudae wouldn't appear in any of the cases.

Its probably just a typo but it looks like a genuine mistake.

Its Magna cum Laude. Plural would be Magnis cum Laudibus but I've never seen that in my life

You only need money as long as you are attached to this life. Give up this life and break what you can before you return to nothingness

Praising someone with a high IQ for being successful is like praising someone for beating a video game at the easiest difficulty.

>>34938903
people like that profit from a snowballing system

if you get into an ivy league school and people recognize your talent they will poke you into the right directions you until your CV looks like that.

But that's not a predicament to being successful. There are plenty of highly successful people with pretty unpresentable CVs.

>>34942994

What makes you think it's balls? Could just as likely be profound ignorance about social norms. Every one of those internships could have been earned non-competitively through university placement. I know mine were.

>>34943061
You still need money for daily expenses. Not to mention paying traffic tickets and shit. Can't pay? Lose your license. Have fun the next time you get pulled over, they'll tow your car and you'll never see it again.

>>34943143
Praising or doing anything nice to someone smarter/more successful than you is a mental illness and a form of cuckoldry. They should be the targets of everyone's viscous abuse.

their existence is cursed and I laugh at anyone who feels envy for them

And yet she's some no-name researcher who doesn't even have her own Wikipedia page

It's all genetics. There is no way to become smarter, only more knowledgeable.

I don't have particularly good genes and wouldn't be able to perform any "profession" well, so I don't bother pursuing higher education because it would just be a waste. People are not born equal and the universe doesn't give two shits if you're born a human potato.

You don't even know the half of it. Women are far more antisocial than men. Men will at least make some effort to help a fellow man if it doesn't cost him anything. Women will hurt another woman even if it does cost her something and avoid helping a woman even if she stands to gain from it.

there is no doubt that this is a good resume, but it's far from god-tier

good for him for being smart in math and not doing, like, a PhD in English Literature or something. But math still isn't a super employable degree, like biomedical engineering or something.

also, like people have said before, there is zero private sector work and zero public sector work. he's been a student, essentially, since kindergarten. this is not terrible impressive and it has clearly already pigeon-holed into relatively poor-paying academic jobs.

a god-tier CV would have something like multiple engineering degrees with an MBA and also, like, being an Army Major or Navy Commander with experience in a combat theater

also, as a post-script, being at harvard and getting an "award" from harvard is really pretty fucking meaningless, it's like getting "Bobcat of the Month" in middle school

>>34940441
Math PhD here, this is an excellent post. I am also tired of people acting like math is some magical rune language that only geniuses can understand.

>>34944719
I thought I was going to go into research but seeing what the state of science is these days turned me away from that

Also there is very little original thought involved in an undergrad degree, just rote memorisation and easy problems based on that

>inb4 you don't know what research is

I've done about a dozen or so internships so far at several big research facilities, so I know it's not for me

Anyways it's not that I don't want the results, it's more that I never had to put any effort into anything academic at school and never studied either. At Uni it got harder but I can still get away with it whilst other get kicked out for even being half as lazy

I don't have a problem working hard in something non-academic, even in menial holiday jobs I put in more effort than at Uni

>>34944884
Math is very employable if you're the best of the best which she is.

maybe they shouldn't ask people to memorize everything by heart in school

>>34940903
Honestly, while you are pretty much right about all of this, I am still sad that I gave up academia and moved to software development. The money is great, work isn't even that bad, but fuck do I miss teaching. Programming is interesting and can be fulfilling but it is nowhere as fulfilling as connecting to students, as showing them for the first time how to appreciate and understand mathematics when they spent their lives thinking it was something they hated and could never understand.

Fuck man, I know exactly what you mean. It's what makes studying so hard for me. It wasn't always like this though, it started to develop mid high school and now I'm a junior in university. My grades are dog shit. I can't pay attention in lectures, my brain just can't do it. No one I talk to seems to have this problem as badly as I do. Anything sort of logical task that requires sustained mental effort makes my brain just nope out. It's fucking frustrating man.

Math is very poorly taught, especially in the United States. This misleads people into thinking that it's about memorizing and applying formulas. Math is anything but dull. But of course, as a math PhD it's obvious that I don't think it's dull. You are entitled to your opinion. Not everyone has to like everything. I just suspect that you have not been taught math in a competent and exciting way if you just pass it off as 'very dull'.

Give me $20 and the rubric and I'll write it for you tomorrow. Or just ask the first quiet autist you see self-stimulating the whole lecture and not paying attention if he'll sell you a couple adderall. Rocking, pen twirling, constantly flexing and extending his calf, nodding his head, all hallmark signs of an autist on low dose amphetamine. More subtle tells include slightly dilated pupils, vacant unfocused gaze, and flat affect.

Are you crazy? Jane Goodall is qt as fuck too, even as a granny. You only make me want Corina more.

I'm sure after walking around the savanna all day she smells lovely. She looks like the kind of girl who's body odor isn't bad an'actually kind of nice. Besides that termites are way cooler. Did you know they form their mounds in hexagonal patterns and at roughly the same distance apart? That's incredible. Chimps are cute I guess but that's only fun for a day trip to the zoo. Corina is cute forever.

This woman had good parents who actually were worth their weight in shit and taught her how to become successful. VS most kids today "you got a B+ timmy, you're gonna be the most smartest kid at college!"

>>34948383
Someday you're going to remember that you chose your oneitis over termite mound patterns and seriously thought Jane Goodall was "qt as fuck as a granny."

I remember it now. I don't fully understand your point here. I'm interested in termite mounds but not nearly as much as I love Corina. Aren't you supposed to pick your oneitis?

>How do they do it? Seriously, I want to know their secrets
be born smart. be born with work ethic. literally just that. theres no secret trick

She probably has at least a moderate natural intelligence. I think this is mostly a result of upbringing. The people I've known in life who seemed to have a high natural intelligence were all born in circumstances where they were stimulated from a young age and had parents who cared about intelligence. This cuts out the egotism of intelligence because frankly it's mostly a result of the luck of birth - if you're raised by a single mother who lets the TV babysit you all day and you're surrounded by people who are hostile to thought - you're fucked. If you're raised in a stable environment and your parents recite spelling lists to you, you'll do reasonably well.

Secondly, this girl is cutie. All the institutions of education she's listed were are funded by millions, hundreds of millions, or I think in some cases even billions of dollars. A cutie girl in this environment is literally surrounded by 'beta'-type men who LOVE to be mentors, and they love most of all to be mentors to cutie women. If you've ever been around academia you've seen this repeatedly - old men with young, cutie, female assistants. It doesn't happen the other way around. So this girl goes from opportunity to opportunity, gaining things to put on her CV.

None of the above is meant to detract from her accomplishments, but it's just about context. Different people get different opportunities. I benefited in school from my older brother being one of the 'smart' kids, I got invited to participate in a school IQ challenge thing just because of this - even though I was fucking clueless.

So don't let it get to you. There have been women benefitting from this sort of privilege since the start of time. There were rich cuties back in Ancient Greece, but we have no evidence they produced anything of value, and understanding context you can also learn to appreciate that the Greek philosophers and playwrights we do know were ALSO the products of material conditions and chance.

Anyway, it's impossible to love a person you barely know.

Scientists have found a pretty strong link between having friends and academic success.

If you're lonely, you're going to fall into addiction, self-destructive behavior, depression, etc.

I have no doubt she had help from men around her, but she still put in a lot of work. It'd be a piece of cake to bend over and let him go a few rounds before divorcing for sweet alimony. She's too classy for that though. Instead she followed her passion. She's now exposing the universality of math as it relates to social behavior of insects and the ecological relationship of plant and soil microbiology shared among them. Fascinating stuff how fractals and spatial relationships abound throughout nature. I bet she's a virgin too.

>>34945142
She is way smarter than me for sure, but you don't get prizes and a Magna cum laude by being smart, you get it by flattering your teachers so they give you good grades

>I have no doubt she had help from men around her, but she still put in a lot of work.

As I said, Im' not trying to detract from the fact that she must have put in time and effort. I'm just pointing out that I don't think there's anything special about this type of person, especially when female. It's not just "having help", either - these women become assistants to these males and get signed up in ways that allow them to put their names to the work of these older men, in other words - they get an immediate advance to being on the level of people who've been in the field a long time...simply because of vajayjay. I'm not even saying she has to sleep with or date any of these men... men like being around nice looking women, just to be around them. It's the same dynamic that you see literally anywhere in society - in school, at work, in government...women have significantly higher social access. There have been studies showing that both men and women's eyes linger and focus more on females in a photo than males... and that both men and women generally have more female friends than male.

I'm not limiting my comments to the issue of gender, either. The ability to list a bunch of institutions and qualifications on a single resume is something that's come about only more recently, because of the way academia has exploded in size, because of all the money pumped in, because people founded these institutions in the first place, and because society is so wealthy today that they can afford to have constant research projects, etc. I'm just saying "she" as a person is not that impressive - which I think is the point the OP was attempting to provoke, right?

> bet she's a virgin too.

Delusional.

There's first place and then there's first loser, second loser, third loser... I have my eyes on the prize. Greatness alone makes it worth it. How can you truly enjoy the perks if you aren't at the top?

And I wouldn't say I barely know her. I only learned about her a few hours ago but I already feel like we're so close. My Corinas folder is growing and I'm finding better pictures of her, her research, and all kinds of fun stuff. We're really a lot alike. Our birthdays are only a week apart, isn't that amazing? And we're both right handed.

Her office phone number was one of the first things I found out about her, it's listed on multiple websites for fuck's sake. Don't underestimate our love for each other.

You talk big but I know you're fucking never going to meet her in person or even talk to her on the phone for more than two minutes. You're a sad little man.

Either you're too dumb to know there's 24 hours in a day and not 20 or you're really smart and managed to calculate the exact amount of times people would suck your dick

That's an impressive CV, and she's obviously brilliant. Affirmative action would normally call a lot of awards into question on a female's resume, but some of those are granted irrespective of subjective bias, so it doesn't in this case.

Nevertheless, CV is only really good for showing off to employers and insecure, sycophantic autists on the Internet. The TRULY impressive realm of achievement is original research.

One citation in a reputable journal is more impressive to me than all those awards combined.

Again, I'm not knocking this chick. She's clearly very bright. However, those accolades won't do her much good if she can't put them to work. There are plenty of prodigies who never amount to anything.

Why are Albanians so dumb and Finns so smart? Is it money?

>>34950800
>She's clearly very bright.

no, that's not clear. what's clear is that she has a piece of paper saying she's very bright, from an institution that accepted very bright students 50 years ago but now is more interested in distributing these pieces of paper to women and people of color to make up for their evil history as a bastion of white male supremacy.

but you have to be baiting. If he started working that hard and that early and STILL failed he is simply stupid. If he actually kept up that discipline and still failed there is not much to say. He tried his best and still failed. You can't really come back from that. It kills your soul. I haven't been in that exact situation but I've dropped out once. I think actual torture like waterboarding and pins hammered under your finger nails is the only thing that could feel worse.

Check out her Google scholar page. I love her and she has some pretty good stuff out there. Her article on eusocial behavior has the most citations. It is funny seeing her cite herself in her articles. That must feel strange to write about yourself in the third person. I guess it's technically still plagiarism if she doesn't cite it though.

Don't worry about other people just be you, and remember whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right.
