Trump has 156 IQ, seems to have lived a balanced happy life.


why cant I have both too?

So he just acts and speaks like an idiot?

>why cant I have both too?
Because only .001% of people can have that

When considering enthalpy and entropy (you physics boys know what I'm talking about), there is no way in my opinion to view life as a "good" thing. I almost have the mentality of a comic book supervillian, who wants to "purify" the universe by eliminating all life. But the funny part is that *this is fucking true*. Life is all about reducing the free energy of a system, and of course increasing the entropy of the system, at the selfish expense of lowering/maintaining the entropy of its volume. Any way you slice it, especially in any moral context, is that life is fucking evil. It's evil, and how can life be allowed to continue unless it's okay to be evil? And what is natural selection but better systems at lowering enthalpy forcing inferior systems to become extinct?

Any way I fucking look at it, I hit pragmatic brick walls. For example, I have a simple project to work on, and I end up hitting this wall because I enter a series of feedback loops which conclude with "Fuck life." And I don't mean "fuck life" in a fatalist kind of way. I mean "fuck life" like "FUCK YOU ELEPHANTS, GO EXTINCT ALREADY", or "FUCK YOU PANDAS, AND MAY CHINAMEN USE YOUR BALLS FOR TRADITIONAL MEDICINE". I hate animals. Animals suck at lowering free energy. Fucking primates at Oak Ridge National Laboratory synthesized plutonium 238 the other day. THE AMOUNT OF FREE ENERGY LOST GOING INTO THAT BLOWS MY FUCKING MIND. As a biology student, an organism being able to produce plutonium 238...you don't get it. I study diatoms. I study algae and photosynthesis. Photosynthesis ultimately produces sugar. My diatoms and algae produce sugars. And these fucking primates at Oak Ridge produced plutonium 238. When I look at this outside of the box...I can't stop thinking that humans are the greatest shit since sliced bread.

tl;dr
Tell me about the plant who's name I typed in the options field.

Who cares about some fucking tropical tree frog that's going to go extinct? WHO CARES?! PRIMATES CREATED PLUTONIUM 238. PRIMATES CREATED THIS SUPER AWESOME NVIDIA GPU I HAVE. Like...the magnificience of primates is...unparalleled. And as a biologist, having this mentality is, in all honestly, detrimental to my future career. In a way, other biologists don't take me seriously. Why should they? They have no obligation to take me seriously even if I, along with many others, are correct in our views. The sun will end most life on Earth in around 1 billion years--not when the sun becomes a red giant, but far earlier, when the surface temperature raises but enough degrees to cause protein denaturation to be thermodynamically favorable. That isn't a high temperature. That's less than boiling point, even 80 degrees or so would kill most multicellular life on Earth's surface. Who cares about biodiversity when it's going to end? But who cares, since what matters is *now*, and not the future? But if sustainability is maintaining the "now" into the future, then sustainability is a moot point.

This shit is just fucking bothering me, and I need to tell someone because no one gives a fuck. And you guys don't give a fuck, but at least I got this off my chest for now...until this post falls off page 10, and contributes to the increased entropy and future heat death of the universe. The greatest trick life ever pulled was making everyone think it was a circle. There is no circle. It's a god damned straight line, and you're hobbling around with a broken leg think it's a circle. God, I hate life.

I sound like a fucking child.

go read stewart calculus

then bartle and sherberts real analysis

then follands real analysis

then jacod and protter probability essentials

then rogers' 2 books on diffusion markov processes and martingales

then lees 3 books on manifolds

then some statistics and information theory books

read and understand and apply them

you will also be a stud muffin mathematician and set for life

>>7757093
stop bumping your shitty thread
where did you learn about entropy that allows negative information gain?
where did you learn about entropy or information gain that causes you to ask
>Is it possible for decision trees to split a set of data into subsets where the sum of the entropies (weighted respectively) of each subset will be greater than the original entropy of the set?

are you in an online degree from some third-world porta-potty? or are you trying to convince some random company that you don't need a degree to be a data miner?

just a student thats having a bit of trouble with yesterdays material, jesus christ

let x = {0,0,0,1,1,1}
is there a y that is a subset of x such that the entropy is greater in y

>>7756882
By that logic we shouldn't be doing anything BUT feeding the hungry people.

>>7756882
"why are you still feeding your kids as tons of people needs their food a lot more ?"
Or, in a more rational way, "are these mutually exclusive or hindering each other ?"

her point of view is naive

in the short term, not spending money on other things and spending it on hungry people helps the problem, but only temporarily and for as long as you continue to do it

in the long term, spending money on technology and exploration results in advances which reduce the amount of hungry people permanently, while also improving the well being and living conditions of everyone else permanently

if the people who made decisions were as naive as her, we'd still be living in the dark ages with many, many more hungry people and needless and senseless death all around us.

2 advanced math courses not overlapping with the above

>>7756609
Just abolish CS as a major, and instead make it a specialization within either maths or physics, for students who have taken all the basic courses.

>>7756626
All those classes are great and all, but there is a finite amount of time one can spend in school. You can't cover all the math topics you listed, only around half of them and slightly touch on the others. It would be a 5-6 year degree for an undergraduate if you followed your requirements.

I think, and you do it.

>>7756351
you would have turned into pieces long before that

>>7756361
Actually that IS true, but not long before. From the perspective of a person viewing this whole incident, they would not be able to see any of that occur, just you freezing and slowly disappearing. YOU on the other hand, would be experiencing the scientific term known as spaghettification. (Also known as being stretched apart so much with the worst pain ever, that you would stretch out into you are nothing anymore, ripping all your cells apart violently.)

Nothing will get done properly.

Yes.
Physics (and Materials Science)
Physics makes my life miserable in every way imaginable so I might still jump ship to Materials full-time.

Originally I was supposed to do ChemE but I'm happy I didn't, at least for now.

>>7756173

Yes, I majored in physics. Fuck this degree.

I was, then I switched to chem e because I want to stack that paper.
