If I lurk this board will I gain some useful knowledge about the world?
>>8638893
depends
you can ask questions on math and sometimes get insightful answers
I dont know about other topics, there's a resident chemist I know about for example
>>8638893
the only thing you're going to learn is how stupid "smart" people are
90% of threads on this board are about non-scientific garbage. Might as well rename "/sci/ - Science & Math" to "/sci/ - Where Philosophy Comes to Die" or "/sci/ - Please Help Me With My Homework"
>>8638893
Far, far less than you would have if you'd studied serously or tried to do something yourself.
Also, whatever you do get will be mixed in with bullshit and you won't be able to tell which part is which.
>>8638893
You just have to look for stuff.
What in particular are you interested in?
>>8638893
No, just look at the /pol/ infection and infestation this board has - they've been here for quite a while now, and they have learned nothing. The "doubling down" meme is being taken too far; they continue to be ignorant about things even though proofs are presented to them.
Day in and day out we have threads about:
>Racial genetics and cultural superiority
>Anti-vaccination
>Climate change denial
>Creationism
>Flat earth
among other /pol/-tier threads.

This is true for /his/, /lit/, /biz/, /k/, and /o/ as well. I suppose all the 4chan boards are like this as well.
>everything is political
