wtf I haven't learned much programming, like I know a small amount and I've never even heard the phrase chomsky heirarchy

i'm half convinced he was just being nice in offering, and when i actually accepted he decided to throw me some retardedly-hard shit to encourage me to quit so he didn't have to fuck around with it.

i dunno, maybe i really am just a retarded person... :*(

Uh oh, sounds like you've befriended an autist. Does he talk a lot about these things called "monads" and "functors?"

First of all you have to get rid of emotions.

have an IQ > 180

be on talk shows as child

make legendary genius mathematicians fall to their knees and weep when they witness your potential to advance the human race

graduate MIT before 15

PhD before 18

do math on windows

>>8069489
This.

tl;dr being a polymath isn't possible today.

A 747 was flying from Warsaw, Poland to London, England. As they were flying past some touristy landmarks (Big Ben and Parliament), the pilot came over the intercom and instructed all who were interested in seeing Big Ben to look out the right side of the plane now. Many passengers did so, and the plane promptly crashed. Why?

A mathematician is working at a bar. A man walks in and says "I want one beer for my first round, two beers for my second round, 3 beers for my third round, 4 beers for my fourth round, etc. on my tab." The mathematician then opens the cash register and hands the man 1/12th of a dollar.

>>8067631
Lmao

Do they say what """degree""" will they most likely choose? I ain't givin them views.

but only 25% as likely to graduate

HUUUUUUUUUU

>>8069658
>Why is this happening /sci/?
Because universities are creating more and more useless degrees like "gender studies", "feminist history", "queer studies", "LGBT science", "cultural marxism".

>Is it a bad thing or not?
For whom?

like mormons ?

What's the problem with that?

It's poor form and 99 times out of 100, it's not really a proof by contradiction and the person should rewrite it more clearly. An obsession with proof by contradiction is the surest way to spot the kid who just passed his intro to proofs course.

You're a fucking idiot. Take some advice. Don't get so lost in your pursuit of knowledge, that you blind yourself from the very knowledge you seek.

> Evolution theory is forever a theory without any real proof rather than "belief"
But there is proof for mutations and survival of the fittest already...

> Even Richard Dawkins had trouble answering this question.
Not having all answers doesn't change the fact that evolution is the one and only theory that makes most sense.

>>8070800
Thanks for the advice but I just want to get more knowledge in this limited lifetime.
I get lost all the times reading books back to back.
Sometimes you are just lost in the details and you missed some trivial point right in front of you.

Star Wars is probably the worst offender. I wish these people would spend 10 minutes to learn about orbital mechanics.

Nature always creates the most effective system. If you want optimal production, follow nature's design. I've never seen nature flowing water upstream to water vegetables. Therefore, this is not energetically efficient.

You're joking, right?

4chan is contrarian at heart, so because reddit likes him, 4chan dislikes him automatically, or at least most of 4chan. Most people who post about fedoras or Dawkins have no idea about what he says, have never read any of his works and automatically jump on the bandwagon to dismiss him, because fedoras and reddit (this is a common occurence with creationfags). That said, that does NOT make his ideas and views automatically valid.

>reduces the chances of transmission of the HIV/AIDS virus
Choose partners wisely, don't be the whore of bablyon, don't fuck impoverised minorites, prostitutes or engage in gay sex and HIV/AIDS is a lol-tier meme you don't have to worry about. If you are gay, use protection religiously.

>reduces the chances of transmission of the HIV/AIDS virus
lol tier meme

>Circumcision increases the cleanliness of the penis

lmaforofl-tier meme, very dank pepe. Fucking soap and a once a week shower totally negate this "pro" to circumcision.

The only reason to get circumsized would be for medical reasons (phimosis). Religious reasons are just fucking retarded.

>>8027971
I agree with you for the most part, although from what I've read it seems possible and not very difficult to treat most cases of phimosis with non-surgical methods, such as stretching the foreskin gently or using a medical ointment. So I think even for phimosis, circumcision would not be necessary a vast majority of the time.

Uncut here, every woman I've been with says it is better for hand jobs and looks fine when hard. Only problem they've had is the anteater look when I'm limp. For hygiene, I don't fuck people with AIDS since I don't live in Africa, I wash down there every day so smell/smegma/infection is not a problem, and I've never had cancer due to dick skin, surprisingly enough. Basically, uncut is prime for sex unless you have erectile dysfunction.

So a pregnant 21 year old has the right to poison her baby, but a non-pregnant 20 year old needs to be protected from the evils of one beer?

>New York just made it a crime to refuse to give a pregnant woman alcohol

As it should be. Women would be allowed to make their own decisions because their happiness and liberty is more important than that of a fetal parasite. This is more of a political issue.

Ultimately though the science is inconclusive and shaky. There's no guaruntee a regular alcohol drinker will give birth to a fetal alcohol syndrome baby, just like smoking while pregnant is a mostly harmless action. Most pre natal care guidelines are strict fascist style forms of safety instead of actual science.

Man, look at that shitty classroom. Why are mathematicians treated like shit in French schools? All the math classes at ENS were in windowless rooms in a basement as well.

This was some crazy shit
>taking P chem lab in university
>bunch of people have old lab reports
>don't take them because muh honor
>apparently the group all turned in the lab reports with the same exact spelling error besides being so different from one another
>professor notices this
>he goes back five years and pulls up the original lab report with the same exact spelling error
>each one of them has to explain how they have the same spelling error as a five year old lab report all with similar results
>one of them tells the professor that they had old copies of the lab reports and names everyone, like an idiot
>they all got written up and expelled
>mfw

It was like some batman type shit.

I really didn't like that professor but after he did that he became one of my favorites. They were the same group that cheated through Gen chem and Orgo together.

>Gen Chem 1
>Kid in row behind me comments how professor never pays attention during exams and how easy to cheat it would be, says "you cout have a sheet of notes right here and he wouldn't notice."
>Professor passes out exam, class begins taking it
>A few minutes later, professor begins walking around
>"What is that on the floor? Is that notes?
>Kid: "Uh..uh..yeah..I forgot to put them away
>Is it chemistry
>Kid "Uh yeah, but not this class
>like what other chemistry class would you take before passing gen chem I?
>dumbass busted cheating
