because you can't write yourself prescriptions if you're not a doctor.

Any mentally ill /sci/entists here?
I'm bipolar, and had an almost perfect grade in economics for "original essays", and being "far above my peers' academic level", as my professor put it. He even befriended me with another professor who does original research.
They found talking to me interesting and even added me on Facebook.
Since then, however, I dropped out, and cut off all the previous academic connections. Now, I tend to believe that any academia-related ideas I have are just crazy delusions, and that my aspirations are just workings of my sick manic depressive mind.
Why do I think so? Because I've had so many ideas, many of which are so "revolutionary" that they're more likely to be crazy than to actually be revolutionary. For example, (I was interested in logic as well) I had ideas on how to formalize inductive logic, and I actually thought I partially succeeded in doing so, by providing what I thought were the basic forms and rules of inductive inference.
If can't even distinguish whether an idea is crazy or not, and whether everything I'm doing is crazy or not, then what's the point in continuing my studies?
Should I quit science for good, and forget everything that happened - treat it as a dream?
No. You need to focus on one single, extremely tough, multifaceted project.
Contact you old prof. Explain just as you have here, ask if there are any top drawer questions that need solving.
Took 12 grad math classes as an undergrad, straight A's, but had to drop out twice due to depression and drug use. Could have been a notable mathematician otherwise.

>I have so many good and revolutionary ideas I tell you!
>B-but I've had no chance to enact of them because of some contrived, obviously made up bullshit reason
Or
>T-they are so revolutionary they are beyond everyone's imaginations! Crazy right!
This is the new 'smart but lazy'.
If you had good ideas, you would be living a good life. Fuck right off to dumbfuck fucking town.
>religion is legal
>we could have advanced ages ago if we allowed human experimentation
>thousands of homeless people

>vegetarian/vegan fags get mad for animals
>not wanting to advance your own species to the point where we don't need to eat animals anymore because can't handle a few sacrifices
This shit makes me angry. Why are people so fucking stupid.
>he thinks it's the religious who oppose human experimentation
it's the medical community shunning it, human experimentation wouldn't give us any meaningful breakthroughs or insight that we haven't already gotten.
>>7799013
>Why are people so fucking stupid
I don't know, why are you?
>>7799018
But how do we know? Who is adamantly doing live experimentation on humans as we speak that isn't illegal?
Sure we have had many breakthroughs, but what if it could speed up progress so that breakthroughs take a shorter amount of time.
We don't know everything about death even, what's stopping us from finding out.

Does it really matter if science is funded by industry? It just gives people an excuse to call others corporate shills.
>>7803796
science is about looking for knowledge about how the world works, not looking for immediately applicable knowledge.
The first kind is supposed to contribute to the whole community (by opening the way to the second one further in the future potentially), while the second one contributes to... the first one that finds it.
This is why science is publicly funded, while research and development is funded by the private sector.
>>7803798
>science is about looking for knowledge about how the world works, not looking for immediately applicable knowledge.
its about both but good try.
>>7803807
no it's not about both.
Does /sci/ fully understand theories/formulas? And if so, how do you do it?.
For eg, when learning calculus, we are told to bring the power down and reduce it by one.
Or in RSA Cryptography we understand that plaintext can be encrypted with a key and can be decrypted with another different key.
Do you understand why it is done that way or do you just follow the instructions. Do you understand the principle behind it?. Or is it just me?...
>>7803737
So... never taken a course with proofs? Or just googled the proof of whatever you want to know?
>>7803737
both of those things have a ton of explanation online senpai
>>7803742
I did take discrete math where we did some proving using MI, truth table, contradiction, etc... but when suddenly presented with a topic that you have no knowledge of, how do you understand it? Or rather than, how did the person that came up with the theory?

Stephen D. H. Hsu (born 1966) is an American physicist and university administrator. In July 2012, he was named Michigan State University’s vice president for research and graduate studies.
Sad to see that in the high ups of our society we're still lead by people obsessed with the human illusion.
The obstacle this man faces whenever he begins to question genes and alleles are solved by understanding a human as a chemical reaction with an attached observer. He is looking for "people" who do "things". When will the image be molecules that have attained a human form, and not a human with molecules at his disposal...?
He makes statements like "what is a good rower" and it makes me wonder if he knows "boat" and "paddle" were invented first. You are looking for strong shoulder muscles, endurance in the tendons, ample enzymes in the blood. Those things are made out of molecules that are squeezed from DNA replication. You have to look at the molecules and what they are doing together, get over the plants and animals they make up.
I wish my parents would have let me have more friends, I wish I was able to socialize and develop and not be shy. I want to help these people. I want to go to college and be a scientist like this man, and I want to be able to look at the world and help people who can't look at it at least understand what other people are seeing!
We have to get over ourselves and the idea of being a thing. These are molecules and we're all watching the molecules. We have to remember we're made out of molecules.
>>7803766
>>7803767
I'm sorry I am bad at communicating myself that is not the opinion I tried to portray. There is absolutely free will and being made out of molecules is what gives us the ability to have that.
The "made out of molecules" part is just what it will take to get people over items and career paths as defining objects. You can't make yourself think things like a boat, or a paddle, or yourself, are outside of the "molecules" you use to measure everything else.

Damn I want this to be a lain thread, but I just find statistics boring. I just skimmed the first link, but that's all raw/processed data and some unabridged conclusions. I understand both that the full explanation is neccessary to understand the information, and that nobody in his right mind would write a shitty webnews article to summarise it, but I won't waste my time trawling through all those words just to find out a statistical conclusion about memes.

This. It's unbelievable that empty articles like these get churned out by highly respectable institutions.
from the chain rule we have
[math]
h(x) = f(g(x))
h(x)' = f(g(x))'g(x)'
\frac{\partial h(x))}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial f(g(x))}{\partial g(x)}\frac{\partial g(x)}{\partial x}
[/math]
but is the "expanded form" like so, for semantic understanding only of course.
>>7803609
[math]
h(x) = f(g(x))
\newline
h(x)' = f(g(x))'g(x)'
\newline
\frac{\partial h(x))}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial f(g(x))}{\partial g(x)}\frac{\partial g(x)}{\partial x}
[/math]

Do you like it? Do you enjoy your job?
also what is the difference between an associate and assistant? which one is higher or more senior or whatever
How does one get a paying job to just study math(s)? Just graduated high school in the summer and Math is really the only thing I excelled at. It's just that there are no jobs around here pertaining to math in the slightest. I'd feel I'd be wasting my time at another job and I'm too broke for college/university.

So could one say that existence is composed of indefinite energy but suspends time by such means and as such does the composure of 'uni' simple re-re-deciphers itself into stability or until there is a fracture in the first point that leads to exponentiation?
One could say that, but that does not make it true... or comprehensible.
Let me elaborate...
...in the conviction of indefinite energy in that it is continuation is of an elaborate extension of a baseline proponents of existence and that this is manifest by the cause of what is composed by the deciphering of exponentiation in nothing, as to say the succession of everything (one being total the other being only ever partial) and that the impulse of the conspicuous nature of the fact that when indefinite energy is in play, such as in everything, that the only real conclusion is that when the suspension of time, a 'relative' and related to nothing, is in the discord of energy creates a syntax of components of the fracture in the deciphering which is what causes the uni 'deficit' to be outlined and that the stability of existence is faced with as critical in the face of elementary information delegations being outlined and left misapplied to the extent of a realignment being so random, in the nature of observance via new constructions, that the conclusion of the context of the outline be so distressed in the 'innate' sentience, or larger scope of coherent organizational and organized principles, that the exponentiation be confined only by expansion.
And that's my argument for why relativity is irregular.... one of them anyway
>>7803253
I thought about this problem last semester while I was working with a turboencabulator for my research project
Does XKCD guy know what diameter means? If something has a diameter of x meters and is x meters from you, it's not even close to being inside you.
The graph isn't being drawn relative to the surface of the object you fucking dumbass. It's relative to the center of mass.
It's a log scale so dividing by two doesn't really make it any more informative
>>7803163
Exactly. 10m from me to center of an object means the diameter has to be 20m, not 10m, because it's the radius that matters if we're talking center-to-center.
