>happiness by following project plan and pain by not following
>no curiosity or motivation
This is what happens when you give an autist access to the ether.
Tell me, who is going to put forth a project plan if nobody is curious? Who is going to actually be in STEM if they don't feel motivated in some way?

How many processes does a computer have? Who commands the computer? What emotions does a computer have?

Extend that idea to humans. One conscious commander. Thousands of slave humans with only two engineered emotions: happiness for obeying, suffering for misobeying orders.

>>8728452
Anyone who feels they have somehow put aside their emotions and is acting rationally or logically is deluded. Most of what passes for human 'thought' is just re-packaged emotional preferences filtered through pseudo-intellectual self-importance.

obviously depends on the subject and class so you should ask your lecturer for book recommendations, aside from that,
>whatever the prof assigns in the syllabus
>whatever books on the subject you can find that have high ratings on amazon

>books this
>books that
I'd say start reading scientific articles about research problems that interest you, for example from google scholar or arxiv and then, once you know what kind of knowledge you need to understand them, get a book.

Just make sure you don't find another scientist stalker who is obsessed with sabotaging your life

What is a Boltzmann brain?

>>8728144
You already are a Boltzmann brain.

it really annoys me how to deprecated a lot of things for seemingly no reason i dun get it

>>8728099
Sometimes the traditional naming is more frienly. The iupac should simplify some naming.

>>8728099
It is pretty dumb.
Just use pictures and then refer to them like "that acid", "the product A", "the product B", "aspirin". We are living in digital age. Then the computer can store that data as a vector image. Using names like 1,3-fhioadfho,2-2-disdiojioj is purely retarded.

t-thanks google?

ECT is fucking retarded. It's just en electrical lobotomy.

>>8727984
Are there any other treatment when the person doesn't really show improvement with anti-depressants?

>>8727980
You're overestimating its detriments.

Unfortunately, popular culture has mase ECT to be like a very painful and numbing procedure. In real life, she'll be put to sleep and shouldn't feel any differently than before.

There are plenty of alternate treatments, including medication that isn't specifically anti-depressants and psychological therpwy, but I'm assuming they've tried that beforehand or else they wouldn't be doing ECT.

Have you even been to other boards? This is one of the least shit ones

feel free to start making good threads instead of shitty metathreads like this that just make the problem worse

>>8727799
/his/ deal with even more politically charged content yet at least they can maintain /pol/tards at bay. /a/ hasn't changed much really.
>>8727800
Not that it will change much because the only threads that surpass 100 posts are either SQT's, bragging threads, /pol/ threads, or the sci humor thread which reposts like the same shit always with 1 or 2 new pics each thread.oh yeah or elon musk threads

>What is the formula for approximation?

Well it's normally a Taylor series. [eqn] \sum _{ n = 0 } ^{ \infty } \frac { f^{ (n) } (a) } { n! } ( x - a )^n [/math] where the [math] f ^{n} [/math] are the nth order derivatives evaluated at a.

>How is it related to linearization?
It's the first order term. So if we have something like [math] (1+x)^{1/2} [/math] then we can expand it as a Taylor series [eqn] (1+x)^{1/2} \approx 1 + \frac { x } { 2 } [/eqn] Which is the linear approximation at x=0.

Best I got for ya. Read up on Limits.

>>8727921
I know how to the limits.

you're probably mad because you're too much of a brainlet to explain why it wouldn't work in a way he would understand

I know a microbiologist who, until the age of 26, believed that chicken eggs were fertilized externally.

My dad once told me that we should land airplanes on treadmills so that it would save space for landing strips. I honestly can't argue against it.

i agreed to join the first professor that contacted me, and he already had a project lined up.

i regret it because the professor can't manage a lab for shit, and he wasted 2 years of my time while i waited for him to get funding. i was going to master out after 2 years but of course he got funding then which trapped me in.

Just LOL

I'm here for serious answers m8. Most graduates have 150-200k worth of debt from optometry school and dental school actually.

>can you "catch" a physical illness, or is it simply a temporary thing from being around the physically ill person and unconsciously taking on their bacteria as you do with everyone you are around, which then goes away when you stop being exposed to infection?

>>8727093
Everyone you interact with influences you, actually seeing some random stranger's face on TV influences you. We don't really understand our minds, much less the semi-nonexistent things that plague it. So yes, you can "catch" it, you can propagate a mental illness just by thinking about something in a certain way. Certainly you can be influenced by said mentally ill person.
