If you make a grammar mistake on the Internet, you should be captured and executed with a cattle gun to prevent contagion of your genes. Discuss. I don't think you can prove me as a madman, psychopath, or ruthless dictator on this one. Consider this very carefully.

>It doesn’t.
Observation causes reality to act in a way different than when it's not observed. We could say that instead of mind making reality than reality makes mind, but the two are still inter-dependent..?

Sure, but this implies consciousness is a function of the brain. It's like saying that my child is function of my being, and when I die so does my child. But again: consciousness, while created by the brain, is not controlled by the brain.

I think I'll go out tomorrow since I'll have a 50% chance of getting hit by a meteor from another solar system that'll release me from this world filled with brainlets. Either it happens or it doesn't, am I right? ;)

So what will happen to pleb masses once automation/narrow AI takes away all the low/average IQ blue collar and white collar jobs in the next 20 years?

Brainlets need to get off of this board lmao

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the product rule. The proof is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of real analysis most of the lemmas will go over a typical student's head. There's also Newton's ontological outlook, which is deftly woven into his writings - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Socrate's Meno Dialogue, for instance. The mathematicians understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these insights, to realize that they're not just clever- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who don't ace Calc I truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the profundity in Leibniz's existencial musing "Only geometry can hand us the thread which will lead us through the labyrinth of the continuum’s composition, the maximum and the minimum, the infinitesimal and the infinite; and no one will arrive at a truly solid metaphysic except he who has passed through this labyrinth," which itself is a cryptic reference to Descarte's seminal Discours de la méthode pour bien conduire sa raison, et chercher la vérité dans les sciences. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Gottfried Wilhelm's genius unfolds itself on their textbook pages. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have an [math] e^{\pi i}=-1[/math] tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Is it worth it, sci?

In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area.
An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.
My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it.
I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan).
I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is.
Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. (cont.)
