Zizek: Speaks multiple languages fluently, extremely familiar with huge amounts of works of art and their analysis, dove head first in to philosophy at a young age and has been a philosophical researcher for many decades, charismatic and funny, strong level of historical and political knowledge, embraces both high and low culture

Chomsky: Probably every STEMfag would admit he has a first rate analytical mind that they would consider extremely intelligent. Extremely good memory. Innovative linguist. Been researching political and societal issues for decades.

You'd have to be a major troll to think they're not highly intelligent. Now let's see the ENTIRE result of their LIFE'S WORK in Humanities / Philosophy / Social Sciences (ignoring chomsky's linguistics stuff).

Zizek: Hegelian and Lacanian BS that sounds so le deep, overdefined bullshitty unfalsifiable politics / society related nonsense.

Chomsky: "This country you think is good has done bad stuff. These countries you barely hear about have had bad stuff happen in them"

Why THE FUCK do people think that non-trivial insights can be gained outside of STEM? It's UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE to think that this could happen. It has NEVER happened.

Is the academic life really as bad as people say it is?

Everyone says that it's "so stressful," but is it really any more stressful than any other job?

The only valid points seem to be low pay and "politics." Otherwise it seems comfy if you actually like doing this stuff 24/7.

I need help, guys. I'm an idiot taking Chemistry, and I need to figure out the order of this reaction. I already have the rate and concentration with multiple trials. My professor included ln(rate1/rate2) = ln(2)^x on the paper, but this seems blatantly wrong, and the numbers I'm getting from it confirm my belief that it's wrong.
How the fuck do I solve for the order of the reaction?

Well, evidently I overestimated the speed of /sci/. Guess I'll just have to head to class without completing this, because everything online and the shit in my textbook basically just says "LOL WHY WOULD YOU DO MATH JUST GRAPH IT BRO"
I really felt like Chemistry would be more of a hard science. Everything that I'm being taught is indicating that Chemistry is 90% just guessing and hoping for a somewhat consistent answer.

Even if longevity technology becomes "a thing," what makes anyone think they will be affordable and available for everyone? This sis a capitalist society - the technology to allow someone to live 150, 200, even an indefinite amount of years would be available only to the richest, most powerful people around.

I sometime imagine how I would prepare for a situation where I was unable to form new memories

pre-commit a system of short/long-term notebooks and bookmarks where I write down what I was supposed to remember?

the system would have to be created beforehand or I would forget about the system after making it

>A large body of research in humans has demonstrated that consistent aerobic exercise (e.g., 30 minutes every day) induces persistent improvements in certain cognitive functions, healthy alterations in gene expression in the brain, and beneficial forms of neuroplasticity and behavioral plasticity; some of these long-term effects include: increased neuron growth, increased neurological activity (e.g., c-Fos and BDNF signaling), improved stress coping, enhanced cognitive control of behavior, improved declarative, spatial, and working memory, and structural and functional improvements in brain structures and pathways associated with cognitive control and memory.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The effects of exercise on cognition have important implications for improving academic performance in children and college students, improving adult productivity, preserving cognitive function in old age, preventing or treating certain neurological disorders, and improving overall quality of life.[1][11][12]

>People who regularly perform aerobic exercise (e.g., running, jogging, brisk walking, swimming, and cycling) have greater scores on neuropsychological function and performance tests that measure certain cognitive functions, such as attentional control, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, working memory updating and capacity, declarative memory, spatial memory, and information processing speed.[1][5][7][9][10] Aerobic exercise is also a potent antidepressant and euphoriant;[13][14][15][16] as a result, consistent exercise produces general improvements in mood and self-esteem.[17][18]

>Regular aerobic exercise improves symptoms associated with a variety of central nervous system disorders and may be used as an adjunct therapy for these disorders. There is clear evidence of exercise treatment efficacy for major depressive disorder[11][15][19][20] and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.[21][22] A large body of preclinical evidence and emerging clinical evidence supports the use of exercise therapy for treating and preventing the development of drug addictions.[23][24][25][26][27] Reviews of clinical evidence also support the use of exercise as an adjunct therapy for certain neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s disease[28][29] and Parkinson's disease.[30][31][32][33] Regular exercise is also associated with a lower risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders.[31][34] Regular exercise has also been proposed as an adjunct therapy for brain cancers.[35]

in my own case (and yes, I know I'm an arrogant faggot), it's because my thought moves much faster than what's needed to comfortably learn the information and do the assignments, so essentially while the teacher/professor takes 20 minutes explaining something to the normies that I could've learned in 5, I've long since been thinking about something else, and am now 20 minutes worth of information behind everyone else. Now even if I focus harder I have to work with new information that's being introduced with the assumption that old information is already known. you could compare it to driving on the highway in 2nd gear

Hey /sci/, would you guys be up for designing a nanoassembler?

It would be an open source hardware design, the idea being that any university could use ideas from our work to accelerate their own research/prototype.

Together we could accelerate the technology timeline and benefit humanity.

Inadequate people need to be right. They need reassurance as a child needs it.
If you actually listen--instead of staring at your portable tv with built-in remote all day long--you'll hear adn notice that some people say "right?" or "eh?" about every fifth word. They have severe inadequacy and insecurity issues. It's so easy to hear how ignorant people are when they babble for all to hear, without shame (as a dog).
