Cosmos (the original). The Ascent of Man is fantastic if you like biology/anthropology.

Okay then, give me academic ones as well.

>>8815485
>there are people on /sci/ so stupid that they actually believe there is a correlation between studying and achievement

it's amazing how an otherwise smart person can be such a brainlet

A low IQ idiot can start up a small store or get a management job with barely any education and make more money and fuck more bitches than you could ever dream of

I'll just hop into my Tardis and go ask them. brb

???
That's not how it works.

They just don't allow anything but a 1 in the topside.
They just hadn't thought of the idea that they could do that.

[math](xy)^{0.5} = x^{0.5}y^{0.5}[/math]

try thinking about it geometrically

For starters, how could it be a science if it studies "the mind" which is an immaterial concept?

>>8814357
It is a science. That's not the issue. It's a shit science that hasn't properly defined it's object of study and is mostly philosophers playing scientist by bending frameworks of ambiguous and interchangeable terminology around the unquantifiable to capture the wishful thinking of someone's pretense.

>>8814357
Academic handwaving framed with the engine of confirmation bias that is the statistical method.

Too smart for bitches

Engineer here.
I'm in a long term relationship (yes, a real life grill) and I think it boils down to this:

1. People with even slightly above average intelligence are not easily amused
e.g.
>watching ESPN/Sky sports news for literally 12 hours a day doesn't keep you amused
>The idea of playing computer games for hours on end doesn't amuse you
>binge watching 16 hours of breaking bad literally seems like a waste of time for you

2. Arrogance
>"""we""" think we are above others

3. Higher prevalence of autism.

Tinder has an overwhelming number of engineers because they signed up thinking that they were using grindr. Then they just never deleted their accounts.

Because he spent thousands of pages making up new words and everybody else in the field had no idea what the fuck he was saying

Because he basically created a new area of math that first needs to be understood by the brainlets.

i'd say psilocybin is better than dmt

dmt is like a dream - you have a slim chance of even remembering the experience

>>8814138
But if you do its mesmerizing. Its like a dream that lives on.

He looks like a male version of a hot professor I fucked.

I can't take this out of my imagination Everytime I see his vids

>>8814148
he is the professor you fucked
he is a tranny
and u r a faget

Well mate you have to make a dice throwing machine to minimized randomness,then do & record about 500 results,and calculate ratio.I don't know what the diversion ratio is,depending on your definition of fair I guess.

Or use a computer program

Do EE+Math. You'll thank me later.

>>8813822
you're trying to meme me m8?

>>8813831
EE is basically applied functional analysis

The radius is a more fundamental measure.

>>8813397
Because then you can integrate the circunference to get the area.

>>8813397

...And particularly where the latter is the literal definition of π.

Real talk: I think it has to do with presenting extremely simple information at the late primary/early secondary educational level, OP. When you only speak of the radius, Then you can immediately phrase everything in terms of it without bogging the student down in conversion factors of 2. Of course, you could just as easily accomplish same by consistently sticking with the diameter, but I think that /sci/ will agree that the radius is a more "natural" consideration of circles and spheres.

First, express the following, respectively, in terms of the radius of each: the circumference (or, perimeter) of a circle, the area of a circle, the surface area of a sphere, and finally the volume of a sphere. We repeat the familiar formulae

[math] C = 2 \pi r \;\; ; \;\; A = \pi r^2 \;\; ; \;\; A = 4 \pi r^2 \;\; ; \;\; V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 [/math]

Now do it again, replacing radii with diameters, and we have

[math] C = \pi d \;\; ; \;\; A = \frac{1}{4} \pi d^2 \;\; ; \;\; A = \pi d^2 \;\; ; \;\; V = \frac{1}{6} \pi d^3 [/math]

In terms of complexity/simplicity, this is almost a total wash, and so it's almost down to choice at this point, if one wants to consistently stick with one measurement or the others for the purposes of simple instruction. Notice how in the move from the radius rules to the diameter rules, although the circle-circumference and the sphere-surface-area rules do simplify slightly, the circle-area rule adds back (slight) complexity in the form of a fractional term. Meanwhile, in the case of the radii, the only fractional consideration which has to take place is with the sphere-volume rule. Everything else is presented as it were in "numerator" style, top-side. The student then only has 2-4 concepts that he has to master, to use the rules: simple algebra, what pi is (just some number), what the radius is, and plugging in values.

In no particular order: Sam Harris, Steve Pinker, Dan Dennett, Ed Witten, Bryan Caplan, Tyler Cowen, Robin Hanson, Eliezer Yudkowsky, Anders Sandberg, Nick Bostrom

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
