The right to math is one of the most fundamental human rights as it affects the vital elements of an individual’s intellectual freedom. Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. take it easy on the exhale as well.

To expand:
I made sure to re-read every chapter and spend hours searching the internet until I had a good understanding of the material, but when faced with something like pic related where I have to prove something on my own, I have no idea where to start.

Sun going stormy and magnety things happening here. Very flashy but no major damage as iphones weren't available yet (microwaves fry iphones).

A Blackbird accidentally made a detour into the past.

Autism is brain maldevelopment that very seldom yields a superior configuration, in a few aspects, that it otherwise would have. It's brain damage, just like Rainman had agenesis of his corpus callosum, something that generally leaves someone very low functioning across the board.

Differing brain configurations != autism. Differing behavior from the norm != autism / mental illness / whatever mechanical "problem". Genius is simply a system that had the proper starting state, and was shaped by the correct signals at a given point in time. There is no, inherent, connection to the other shit.

If I had a reaction folder, this is where I'd use a pepe ENOUGH image. Seriously, for fucking fuck's sake already, shape up.

>humans are just machines without free will

>>9085668
The concept of "free will" only makes sense if you pre-assume the existence of some magical unmeasurable force which controls your body from some unknown place in an unknown way like some marionette.

So far all evidence shows that everything the mind does is purely mechanical and following the laws of physics.

If you have some spiritual beliefs about a soul then please take them to /x/

I make math i dont need no degree

what a waste of time

what can you even do with a math degree for real?

Obviously besides the niche occupations you have no chance at landing

>>9084056
statistics, cs, actuarial sciences, finance, industrial engineering.
you probably don't have a degree in anything or do anything beyond differential calculus so it's okay.

Hardest Undergraduate Course in World is the Harvard Math55.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_55
A 2-semester long course in
Honors Abstract Algebra (Math 55a)
&
Honors Real and Complex Analysis (Math 55b)
>
For the class of 2009 the Prof. Scott Duke Kominers said:
>We had 51 students the 1st day, 31 students the 2nd day, 24 for the next 4 days, 23 for 2 more weeks, and then 21 for the rest of the 1st semester.
>
The Hardest Graduate Course may be either:
(1) Advanced String Theory.
(2) Algebraic Geometry, a portion the math behind String Theory
The Physicist Edward Witten Mastered both String Theory & Algebraic Geometry with His massive brain.

He went to the doctor and still feels dizzy from the narcosis.

What? Why would you do that? I thought my method of getting a hammer and knocking the fucking thing out was crazy.

>>9083059
It's a desire. They desire to act, be treated, and interface a certain way within their overall social ecology. They feel so alien in their traditional gendered role, or are so poorly treated, they retreat into the delusion that if everyone's behavior is so polarized they must in fact BE the other sex. The body, as a concept, becomes the source of their problems in their mind.

Gender may or may not correlate with more common hard underlying biological biases. Some people might be born biased towards desires and a value system that clusters around the one of the other sex.

They're cripplingly miserable and suffering existential issues. Therein it becomes a framework of delusional ideas layered around strong emotions. "Mental illness". Helping them mutilate their bodies is not the answer. You cannot become the other sex. Post surgery outcomes are likely poor and would reveal similar symptoms as they had on presentation.

>>9083059
>Is at a mental ilness?
yes, and a severe one at that. considering it normal and encouraging the behavior only makes it worse i.e. what society is doing right now - and it's why most trannies end up offing themselves.

My sister is transgender (she wants to be a boy) and she hasn't transitioned yet (she's 17).

What can I do? What's the best /sci/ approach? what's best for her?

>implying IQ = Good GPA
The only thing you need for a good GPA assuming you're a normal functioning human being is a good work ethic. Seen literal dyslexic spergs perfecting scoring his tests because he has a non-existent social life and works like a rice nigger.

This doesn't help when you're already a senior and/or graduated and looking to get into graduate school.

IQ means nothing by itself.

For instance, imagine if Brock Lesnar got into a car accident and became quadriplegic. Now, he would still know his fighting techniques and have all this muscles and the reach advantage. But he would still lose to any healthy person in a fight.

Similarly, GPA tells that a person _is_ capable to the theoretical aspects of his field, whereas IQ tells that a person is _potentially_ capable.

*will It fly

fuck

It better fly. I don't want to have to endure another year of them repairing another blown up launch site. If it wants to blow up, let it do it when it's already flying.

I just wonder just how interchangeable the Falcon 9 booster and Falcon heavy boosters are.

From an economic perspective it makes sense only needing to manufacture one type of booster rather than 2. It drives cost down.

But Musk said they required a bunch of extra hardware.

You actually can, /pol/. Go see a doctor and get a prescription. Any man with testosterone deficiency can get it and looking at all the cuck shit in /pol/ it seems that you are all eligible for at least a full ton of testosterone.

Ever tried just lifting or is that too much effort?

Wait, switch 3 and 1 and that's it.

>>9086400
3 and 4 are very important, but are not very useful if you dont have 1 and 2.

Similarly you can't go very far if all you have are 1 and 2
