No. It's false. The truth is that philosophy was at its peak with Kant.

Which field are we working in?
Since in [math](\mathbb{R}, +, \times)[/math] 0 has no inverse.
>>
>>8466882
why does it have to be a field? why not a ring?
also why is it called a field? because fields extend out infinitely in the landscape sense?
What nonfiction/science books have red pilled you?
Explain what they red pilled you on.
For me it's The Selfish Gene and The Extended Phenotype. Red pilled me on biology. The most interesting part of the extend phenotype was when the author was discussing how some organisms have genes for controlling the behavior of other organisms.
Lots of people seem to dislike Dawkins. I don't know if it's because of his involvement with atheists, or because they legitimately believe his writings on biology and evolution are bad.

No, Halmos is not what I'm looking for.
I want a badass dry Rudin-like book that does not explain anything. Definition, theorem, proof, corollary. Repeat.

Picrelated a launch system developed half a century ago, most reliable launch system ever designed, still in use, considered the pinnacle of human engineering to this date.

I didn't attend a single lecture in my Quantum theory 2 course after the first three because the lecturer was terrible but the lecture notes were great. I read them all and did every single exercise in about a week and scored 100% on the final (note that this happened in the UK, where the best grade is at 70%, a first class, and the course average is in the low 60s.

even the little psych stuff helps me - removing the web browser from the taskbar, etc

Why is nuclear energy so bad? I'm pretty sure my country (Switzerland), France, and Germany use it extremely successfully. You can occasionally even see these radioactive waste treatment centers from the highway.
