Hello /sci/
What are you researching in your free time?
Any cool ideas (fringe or mainstream) for a person to research as a hobby?

The best fringe theory is this one imo, something analogous to it will probably be accepted as self evident in ~100 years.

A NEW CRANK IS IN TOWN BOYS. DOCTOR OF MEDICINE WITH A UNIFIED THEORY OF EVERYTHING

This has potential. After all, our best resident crank (Gary RIP) is a physicist who thinks he knows math. A doctor who thinks he knows physics will be a match for even Tooker.

There are 2 things that comprise most of what I am interested in. These are both very large subjects with many different angles to explore, but I'll try to give some guidance to whoever is interested.

>1. The structure of everything in existence
To find out more about this, I advise reading into and understanding what fractals are and how they relate to nature and the universe. You will quickly find that fractal structures (in their finite form) can be found in just about every piece of matter in our universe.

>2. The structure of society. (more /pol/ than /sci/ related)
To understand the most basic, underlying principles of society, you should try to understand its core in its most fundamental and secretive form. What characterizes the people that have the most impact on society, how do they organize, what tools do they use to exert and maintain control.

To me, nothing it as fascinating as those 2 areas of knowledge.

I guess I would start by saying that you have selected two areas of research that are not math or science, but a lot of it is just my own shame of having been as dumb as you when I was 19.

He didn't die irl but Optimum boy the internet persona died. He just wiped out everything from his site. Probably because he doxxed himself too hard. When you have an actual family, you can't do that. Tooker can because he has no family and no reputation.

It's okay because schizos have egos that are impenetrable. I am the guy who has (twice) made long autistic posts at Tooker saying that his family doesn't love him and other horrible shit I would not say to anyone. But to the schizo these comments are meaningless. The schizo is perhaps the strongest form of the human mind.
