>I showed the book to my husband, Andrei, a computer programmer who loved math in school. He scrunched up his face. “People don’t use Shakespeare in their jobs, but it’s still important for them to read it,” he said.

>“It’s not the same,” I told him. “Reading fiction builds empathy.”

>“Math helps us understand the world around us!” Andrei replied. “Like how derivatives demonstrate change over time.” He smiled, and I could tell that for him, it was all clear and beautiful.

>But I had no idea what he was talking about. In high school, I found math so indecipherable that I would sometimes cry over my homework. I don’t think I ever understood what a derivative signified 15 years ago, when I was struggling my way to a low B in calculus—a class I was convinced I had to take to pad my college applications.

Then why don't you prove that it's so easy and get in the 100 percentile?

People in good schools are obedient, mindless sheep who studied and did their homework. What intelligence are you referring to?

>>8745055
Strength of short term/long term memory, problem solving, creativity, critical thinking.

>>8745040
Because we have not established the relationship between intelligence and genetics, there is simply no answer to your question. For example, I know somebody will post that 'SAT scores by race and income' chart, but that still doesn't separate race from culture.

All discussion past this point is useless speculation.

is he published?
if so, probably super-genius

if not?
quack

here we can use cold hard math to say if he is a quack.

>>8744562
That's not really the criteria. If there is any merit to what he says, it should be worthwhile regardless of being published or not.

>>8744571
So is he a quack?

Plenty of notable people didn't go to some mega respected Uni. Also bear in mind that the reason those Universities are respected are because of the people that came from there, so obviously notable people come from respected unis, notable Alumni help make it respected

you can contribute to the yeoman's work of science, but you'll never be one of the greats

to be top of your field, you need to be exceptional in pretty much every way, making it into a top tier school is fucking trivial for this sort of person

Men are physically stronger than women, who have, on average, less total muscle mass, both in absolute terms and relative to total body mass. The greater muscle mass of men is the result of testosterone-induced muscular hypertrophy. Men also have denser, stronger bones, tendons, and ligaments.

Sex in society, is the highest form of social validation and acceptance, so many people base their self-worth on how much sex they have/have had. When you say sex isn’t important you can attack somebody’s sense of identity.

There’s a reason why:
-> cunt is the most offensive word in the English language.
-> there have been extremely few successful matriarchies in history.
-> 90+% of inspirational historical figures are men.
-> women feel like the world treats them as lesser to men.
-> it’s frowned upon for men to hit women.

Think about it.

=== How to get pussy ===

1. STOP trying so hard. The less of a fuck you give about women the more they want you. Women are like retarded children, they can be a massive pain in the ass to deal with, sometimes pussy isn’t worth it, keep that in mind.

2. Look good for yourself, FOR YOURSELF. Exercise, eat healthy and sleep well. Dress well and SMELL GOOD, watch people treat you better simply because of how you present yourself. The better you look the more confident you are and the more their hormones take control of their brain.

3. Be SMART. Sell ‘your’ personality, be funny and be happy, women can’t do either. Be logical, do not get emotional with a woman because you will get manipulated and lose. Push their buttons, cross their lines, make them emotional and then, if you need to, pretend you’re sorry about it, kiss and make up.

4. Already be getting pussy. The more women you’re fucking, the more women want to fuck you.

5. Money and social status. Men love you for who you are, women love you for what you can do for them.

Marriage is for cucks. You want to fuck women, not date them.
DO NOT treat them as equal, they don’t want you to, they are not equal.

a) where does it say that in the rules?

b) This is a /sci/ board, not /his/

c) In science I am either right or wrong. Reality doesn't care what my personal opinions are.

There is nothing wrong with a conventional form
being "standard", nor with a standard form
being "conventional". Get over it.

>>8745111
If you are a scientist then you know what standard form is, faggot.

If you are not a scientist then gtfo my thread.

Ellis usually digs up some weird real life stories and even talks with people about real life shit for use in his books.

>120 an hour
Does that mean 60 an hour is the going rate for a math tutor? That's quite a lot.

"Just a theory" doesn't work because there exists no possible higher standard, apart from proofs in constructed systems. It's an empty criticism, and the distinction is disregarded in everyday usage.

>Theory has a different meaning in science than it does in every day usage.
It does have a different meaning in math though.

>>8744554
Doesn't math use theory to mean proof, though? I've never seen a mathematical theorem included in a textbook that didn't have an associated proof.

So is it only called a theory because it's not necessarily true (only true if you accept some basic, mathematical, assumptions) or what's the story here?

Math is also not a science.

>>8744301
>please reply with actual evidence that you are right and not just your opinion as opinions mean nothing.

This sums up why psychology is not a science. Just replace "reply" with "publish papers".

>insert link to that paper that showed 70% of psychology research was literally made up

Psychology is like half science, half art, not that that detracts from it in anyway. I would say if anything it adds to it, because you're combining the rigors of the scientific method with the creativity of your imagination to solve real problems. I wouldn't place much value on what you read here, /pol/ turned most of the site into a cesspool and you have genuine morons everywhere passing their uneducated opinion off as facts.
