I can't stop.

>>8970848
why not? would it be painful if you did?
>>
>>8970851
I mean I can't stop.
If I tried to stop, I'd still think about it when trying to sleep.
I have to see how my definitions lead to new theorems.
I need to know why we construct our mathematics system how we do.
I can't sleep.

Math. Not even once.

>I need to know why we construct our mathematics system how we do.
I think about this too but I never bother because I feel like my lifespan is too short to parse though the existing mathematics system let alone construct my own.

Profit is for brainlet faggots
The only thing that anyone can do to have any actual lasting affect on humanity is scientific advancement
Napoleon will be forgotten, so will Newton, but the latter's work is immortal as long as humankind exists
>>
>>8970893
But if you don't exist(are dead) to observe that progression does it even matter? Just like anything humans project meaning and symbolism onto, without the person observing, it doesn't matter as the whole concept only exists within the brain.

Meh, I don't mind if I don't see it because I derive joy from the process itself
Besides, great societies sprout from planting seeds one won't see and all that jazz

how come?

>>8970929
I'll paraphrase Camus and Feynman in saying that every mineral flake is a beautiful world unto its own with infinite complexity
Even basic calculus I took back when I was a student felt like art

i like the subject

To prove I'm the smartest on /sci/

>>8970881
Newton had the same 24 hours in a day you do.
>>
>>8971054
Newton will never make use of/observe any of the progression that was made after his death.

The title and it's the only subject I show interest in.
