About a month ago i was rapping a freestyle and i said "scooby doo" at some point, and now i say "scooby doo" atleast once every like 5 sentences. It's starting to be a serious problem. My friends are like "bro you never shut the fuck up about scooby doo". I literally can't even rap anymore because after 4 bars my lyrics just dissolve into me saying scooby doo over and over again. For some reason i ironically googled 'scooby doo erotic fanfic' and since then I've started reading these fucking gay scooby doo fanfics unironically. I need help with this what the fuck do i do to purge scooby doo from my brain?

I took a creative nonfiction course with him at Ponoma back in '94. We weren't allowed to show anyone our essays outside of the class for some reason. He seemed naturally intelligent, didnt need to look at any notes or textbooks or prepare for any lectures, he just knew his stuff and was super casual.

I saw him talking to a girl on campus one day. He uncharacteristically wore a Fila sweatsuit, the kind that looks like it's made from the same material as parachutes, and trainer sneakers with a matching bandana. That was his pussy hunt outfit apparently. Several times a week, same outfit, I'd see him hitting on women in it. I once saw him wearing it while carrying an identical outfit from the dry cleaners, he had like 4 sets of same Fila sweatsuit.

I asked him about it in class and he said we aren't allowed to discuss anything unrelated to class while inside class, the same way we can't show anyone outside of class our essays. A student called out "but Dostoevsky isn't in this class and last week you talked about replicating his black tea obsession to test its affects on your own writing". Wallace stared blankly at the student with dead eyes for 30 seconds in dead silence then said "you just got knocked down a full letter grade. Any other smart asses? Didn't think so." and pushed up his glasses with his index finger.

I remember telling myself this guy will either be super successful or kill himself.

So close yet so far. Math is the language of reality at its true logical structure; number theory and logic get very close to this. The issue comes down to language. Math is intrinsically a language which we use to describe reality, and as with any other language our translation is imperfect and creates entirely human constructs.

Read Smith, _Gaston Bachelard: Philosopher of Science and Imagination_, mainly the first part where he describes Bachelard's fascination with neo-Kantian mathematics and Einstein's supposed perfection of it as the ultimate description of reality

Read https://ndpr.nd.edu/news/phenomenology-logic-and-the-philosophy-of-mathematics/
to get some of the stakes of Platonism

Maybe read into the "structural realist" interpretations of Kant like Poincaré: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/structural-realism/#KanESR

Maybe look into Gödel's "Platonist" and "phenomenological" turns later in life

Above all, don't listen to mathematicians or physicists about the beauty of math, and especially don't confuse their structural realism for the noumenal itself, especially when it's presented as the only possible counter-argument to postmodern relativism. Just because the relativists are wrong doesn't mean the other camp is de facto right, though the latter might be closer to the truth or onto it in an important way.

What you want to find out is the higher significance of math, the higher significance of "reality" having (mathematical, legal, formal) "structure" at all - which means you have to do metaphysics, have to think about what reality and structure "are", in the first place. Everything short of that is just the post-Kantians again saying, whether they know they're post-Kantians or not: "somehow, our phenomenal representation of structure seems to 'correspond' to something 'out there' in the noumenal." If you want to know what math is IN THE WORLD, rather than the fact that mathematics IN OUR MINDS seems to have that bridge to it, you're going to have to find a way to cross the bridge, not just point to it yet again. We don't know anything about the bridge or what is on the other side.

>Evaporation doesn't exist. - The post
This is the type of guy who walks up to a meteorologist and asks him how hurricanes form. The meteorologist then tells him hurricanes form fundamentally based on a repeating cycle of evaporation which grows exponentially into the destructive force we know it to be.
Snidely, this poster responds, "Well that cannot be because evaporation doesn't exist! After all, evaporation is nothing more than a pathetic attempt at describing an indescribably complex interaction between water molecules and air molecules."
At which point the meteorologist looks in befuddlement at the poster. The poster, thinking he "got him" walks off proudly.
In reality, the meteorologist stumbles to think where the public education system failed this poster so badly.

It's clearly him desperately samefagging to make himself look better. He's got greek statue pics saved (not copied from google, see filename,) he's using :^) which only /pol/ does, and by addressing his own previous post as "the right" he's basically saying
>LOOK AT ME ACTING STUPID I AM A LEFTIST
Which is the sort of thing only ever said deceitfully.

He's so blatant with it I'm actually now wondering if you are also him trying to get ahead of the narrative and inform all us readers "ATTENTION READERS HE HAS NOW BEEN MADE TO LOOK GOOD OKAY HE LOOKS GOOD NOW"

Nicomachus - Introduction to Arithmetic

I will say that the idea of numbers being Pythagorean representations of reality is fascinating and very entertaining to explore, however exploring mathematics is very entertaining as well.

Mathematics has gotten very variable-intensive these days, instead of careful, it has gotten very sloppy. I can see mathematicians making more mistakes these days than they ever used to. To the point where the translators of the ancient mathematical books I read will frequently misinvoke propositions of Euclid or some kind of error of that nature.

Anyway, mathematics peaked in the Islamic Golden Age imho. But there were some intelligent European mathematicians.

Just keep in mind, Geometry, Arithmetic, and Algebra are all different things. The origin of the first two are with Greek thought. The last found its technical origin in the Islamic Golden Age, with Al-Khwarizmi.

As much as we joke about autists, the guy who makes the xkcd comic is a textbook example of one.

When it comes to the maths and sciences he's brilliant, but he's completely lacking in any sort of self-awareness. It's rather funny because he seems to be self-absorbed who projects himself onto everyone he meets. He's probably very difficult to be around if you don't share his specific obsessions.

He is also utterly unread and uncultured. If it isn't shit-tier pop-culture science fiction, he's uninterested. Even more esoteric mainstream geek culture stuff like "The Prisoner" or Terry Gilliam movies requires too much theory of mind and awareness of the humanities for him to understand. And it's not like he's even hostile to it. He's just so indifferent to that huge cultural lacunae that it's like trying to get a deaf person really interested in Mozart or something.

I think the severity of the divorce, the widespread uniformity of it across STEM (lol philosophy is just dumb words) and the complete rejection in the humanities of everything math related is uniquely 21st century.

As a STEMfag I think its our fault as a consequence of 'nerd culture' rejecting literature moreso than the humanities
