plenty of sats exist beyond LEO, like GPS

Because of muh'safety. Also why haven't chinks sent people to Moon yet? they don't even value human life like we do.

Fake it till you make it

Dark energy is the result of powerful beings expelling power through cosmic battles.

time is nothing but a recurring product of a constant gravitational push towards entropy

Copenhagen. It's entirely a meme at this point. Oy vey the universe is random and shit.

But this is about the direct monetary value of study fields.

My guess is that you studied biology?

Wrong board, and I don't read any philosophy published after the fall of Rome.

>Inb4 hurr brainless ur a pleb

Fuck off undergrad.

Analytic.

I an studying math but that doesn't mean there isn't much to learn from modern analytic philosophers, especially when it comes to issues in mathematical philosophy and foundations (e.g. logical pluralism). I highly encourage pure mathematics students at all levels to get some exposure to analytic philosophy. There are some very interesting ideas there.

>>8959310
I'm also asking why people would choose to study analytic philosophy over mathematics; this is the best board for the topics on offer.

>Fuck off undergrad.
Why so defensive? Who are you quoting? I didn't say that.

>Does it ever come up in conversation?

No. Not unless you are talking to mathematicians/physicists.

> satisfying enough to know these things that you would advise taking the time to learn about them even if they didn't provide academic or monetary gain?

Yes it is satisfying, but I would only advise it if you really enjoy it.

>is something I find to be subjectively valuable worth pursuing?
Uh, yes?

Me, I'm just a humdrum stress engineer, but I still got most of a physics degree while in undergrad, and am taking classes on acoustics now in grad school. From a career perspective, I should be taking nothing but structures classes, but studying nothing but structures all day would drive me crazy.

No, it never comes up in conversation, and it's never gotten me a cute girl's attention or a promotion, but it is personally satisfying.

>Does it ever come up in conversation?
In my previous job I got a lot of questions from colleagues (I worked as a programmer to pay down student loans). I immediately knew when they had got a new issue of the more tabloid science magazines. That set the topic for the lunch break.

>"What's outside the universe?"
senseless question

>and what happens after we die?"
Your body stops functioning and that's pretty much it

>>8959181
>What's outside the universe?
>I don't know.

>what happens after we die?
>Well one thing is that your body stops functioning consciously. The rest I don't know.

FTFY

>hurr, what are definitions

>>8959132
something tells me that this is probably a fucking joke, anon.

>>8959337
I was on cool freaks Wikipedia club on facebook for a hot minute. It was a safe space group, and I assure you this is not a joke. You post an article about Australia, you have to post a TW for colonialism, for example. Not giving a TW for birds was an instant ban.

>>8959371
you're definitely not doing a good job of convincing me this isn't satire, in fact you're convincing me further

based Sal from khanacademy

It like, just appear dude.

>science can't explain how
I'll give you "why" due to ethics & company but science is literally the logical process of figuring out "how". "Why" is usually left to philosophy.

To anyone who replies to this shit thread, be sure to put the word "Sage" in the options field, in order to ensure that you don't bump it back to page one and shit up the board. Let it sink and die.

philosophags please go

Lol meant to be oxytocin**, autocorrect is kinda dumb

Stop letting the jews tell you you have no agency anon

With everyone throwing around neuroscience this and that I really don't know what to believe. To me it sounds like bull but I'm willing to hear more about it.

>>8958792
He's so great he couldn't even find a teaching position at even the shittiest UK university so he has to waste his life away on making inane YT videos for retards... and gets paid in pennies.

Yeah, he's so great!

>better than Euler
Well, I mean... Euler didn't know about non-euclidean geometries so...

but that shouldnt be that hard for someone who plans on becoming the /sci/ version of /r9k/

Build up the ability to meditate for two hours every day. And I'm not talking about some random bullshit but solid concentration. Also employ operant conditioning techniques on yourself and track your progress through journaling.

>what do I need to do to achieve this goal
You need to be a brainlet.

But I see you already got that going for you, so keep it up famalam.
