This board was always a shitty homework help board and never had much of a culture so the people who make good effortposts or like anonymous discussion tend to use other boards. Which is a shame I suppose, I wish we had 90s cyberpunk style discussions here about AI and the latest physics studies but it's mostly shitposting and homework help.

Are you implying it's because the board seems ignorant or unintelligent? That's due to the internet becoming more brown and giving access to low INT white and black Americans. The internet back in the early and mid 2000's was substantially White in the West, and Asian in the East. Anyone who was brown who could post on the internet came from lower middle class or higher, typically as a bourgeoise or well off suburban minority. It was a much happier, pleasant, and comfortable era, akin to living in an upper middle class neighborhood.

Yeah, I agree. It's been built up and is spreading like a disease. The real disease of our time, the clamp, and the clamp cucks. It's an authoritarian collectivist organizational scheme which comes dressed in various garbs, one of them is so-called "Science". It's basically a religion, man is God, therefore all his collective activities and institutions are fundmentally good, and you should direct your prayer and faith to them accordingly. Anyone who says otherwise is a heretic, a blaphemer. It is nearly 1:1 identical.

>>12485044
I don't see how understanding there are only a set amount of personalities available in humans is anything near complex or deep. We are material, and due to our physical nature the limitation of our genetic composition dictates that we too, are personally and mentally limited. By saying that nerds are the reason why the internet was intelligent back then is not conclusive to the root. The word "Nerd" is a loose semantic to begin with, meaning any discussion further into that would be by all means, worthless. In the end, I would ask you to pursue the "root", such as who inhabited the internet, and if the races were swapped out, would it make a difference? I believe that it would. How are you going to find objectivity in a couple of paragraphs? You're not. It would take a deeper level of discussion into specific rs clustering to even begin a real argument. That's not really possible on /sci/.

/Lit/ is great man. They are a bit like /sci/ except more self aware. They don't obsess over IQ as much. They still do it, but not to the autistic extent they do here. Mainly because the board as a collective knows that nothing matters, except God given purpose and seeking it out. There still are some fedora fags caught up on Neitzsche and then whining about being pathetic, but /lit/ also likes to get things done despite everything being meaningless or purpose being obfuscated. Learning some math, and working at something with structure and rigor would help them be better writers. It's hard to do things you aren't good at though.

I can largely agree with that, I just disagree with the assertion that and race is more of less likely to be nerdy. I think it has more to do with access to education and the way you culture treats education.

>It's an authoritarian collectivist organizational scheme
I would say it's several spawning from the fact the average person can tell shit is getting worse. Some blame immigration, some blame wealth disparity and I myself think both are driven by political corruption.
Everyone has their own answer and sadly we are seeing the authoritarian left and right both gaining the most public support.

>>12485104
Claiming there is a finite number of personalities and claim genetics is the major factor are very different things.
>such as who inhabited the internet
I got the internet in '95, the reason I got it relatively early was a combination of computer literacy, living somewhere with the infrastructure in place, having the money, having parents I could convince it was an educational tool and having an interest in it.
I think I share most of these with others that adopted the internet early.
>and if the races were swapped out, would it make a difference
Of course, the vast majority of blacks fit few if any of the criteria that lead to me getting it so early.

I agree that environment plays a large role, but that environment is chosen by genetics. If we think about where we live, that area was chosen and accepted by those before you. Your genetics aligned to the environment you yourself abide by. Only a finite amount of outcomes can happen due to the genetic sum multiplied by the environmental difference. On the concept of free will, I believe that if there is no God or equal entity to such a figure, then the concept of free will is false. We can trace back every choice made as a reaction to action, all the way back to the beginning (randomness aside). I don't harbor ill will to any skin color, it is someone's intelligence that mostly affects my judgement on them.

You mean like chaos theory? As in, if we knew every variable for the function at the beginning we could predict everything for any point in time? Imo, I think sometimes we are free and sometimes we are not. Read some Immanuel Kant. Usually, when we make a free decision it will most likely be something we know we should do, but are having trouble finding the will to do it. Whenever we give in to instant gratification I feel like we are definitely being controlled by various factors. I think the environment moreso shapes genetics rather than our genetics choose the environment. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying one has a bigger influence than the other. i.e, epigenetics and the clusterfuck that is. It would be cool to live in the future.

It is due to my inability to explain that you are still misunderstanding. I am not saying only European Caucasians can flee wars, I am saying that the genetics involved in your forefathers dictated that you would flee, based on the environment it found itself in. If an environment or circumstance changes, then the genetics at your disposal will force an outcome involuntarily, meaning your conscious has nothing to do with it, it is entirely automated. Since environment and circumstance change every second of your life, then there would be a threshold that must be crossed before overt action is taken (like fleeing the UK).

I'm sure it is a theory. Although I have come to the conclusion on my own. Just by looking at my habits, and seeing how I operate whenever I do things I'm not supposed to be doing, as opposed to doing what I know is right, but also difficult. I ran across basically the same idea, but written down formerly in Immanuel Kants, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. It's not math, worth a read though. Kants not right about everything, but freewill is neccessary if there it to be meaning or even intelligence. Intelligence cannot exist without freewill.

Game development. I tell you that because I don't have many genuine discussions and I am far more interested in it than this. If we look at STEM and the university/college workforce salaries, the plateau is 500,000usd at only the highest echelons (likely accompanied in FANG), meaning everyone else works for pennies on the dollar compared to the gross and net revenues their owners see. I looked at the best financial outcomes back when I was in my teens. You can be an ABC CEO, you can hold patents, you can be famous, you can invest - all four of these require the randomness of "luck",
not to mention often a heavy dose of nepotism. But, creation does not. Technologies. Sciences. Art. With creating, such as art, you are able to largely dictate the terms on how you operate. Since technologies and science require significant physical presence I had to choose art. But even further, you can dictate the wealth you receive from your consumer in any of these categories, they are that important. In the art industry, there are specific routes you can take to immense wealth, like game development. Going the game route and getting lucky with a hit among your market is what most indie and even AAA developers aspire towards. That is why we see a huge emphasis on marketing and following trends. But within the path of game development exists explicit guidelines you can follow to ensure monumental success every time - that is what I believe. I chose to pursue this instead of my adolescent love for chemistry because within a decade I would be able to do anything I want with huge wealth. I firmly believe that I am correct, but also know the window is closing. By 2025 this philosophy may not be valid anymore due to corporate censorship or the artist/developer. It will be because of limiting the available infrastructure to only those who will obey. Luckily I am scheduled for around a 2021-2022 release. I hope I am right.

Thats admirable anon. Funny enough. I did something similar. I was a chem major at Uni. I switched to Computer Science, because I realized there's nothing you can really do with Chem. Things seemed bleak for a chem major. I did pretty well in my computer science classes, but I gave up because I did not believe in myself when it came to taking multiple math classes at once. I dicked around in high school, mainly focused on women, so I had no solid mathematical foundation. So I had to try to really exert myself to get even a B in Calc 1. I ended up doing LSD, dropping out and decided I wanted to be a novelist. It's a pretty dead art form, and I work a wagie job. Overall, as long as I stick to my daily regimen before and after work, I am pretty content with life though. Hopefully all that thought and effort you put into planning out yourself nets you results.

/sci/ are so stupid they didn't even know there were shills on this board steering their opinions up until a few months ago and only after the few us that did told them for years. The people on this board are oblivious to anything that wasn't in their textbook. Real jackasses and egomaniacs

I used to post here when I was in college but im 24 now and have stopped posting here pretty much.
This is just the defacto college board. I camt blame all the college students for flooding it with their college shit since I was once in their shoes too. Oh well

This is pretty much exclusively why I visit this board.
I like stopping by and laughing at the bootlicker mentality every now and then.
I imagine all the posts are written by white liberal cucks and permanently asspained pajeets.

22 doing PhD in ML/stats. Been here for 6 yrs and trying to leave. It was fun at the start but nowadays its not worth sifting through post after post of undergrad freshmen "science" and repetitive one liners just to find one or two nuggets of interesting discussion. Hopefully I'll be gone in a year or two, but unfortunately...

I've noticed a strong disinformation bot and schizo Burger children vibe, and not only regard Gookmoot as the pathetically unwitting Rupert Murdoch of the internet that he is, but that in this context the ultimate form of shitposting is to give a straight answer to the best of one's ability.

thats an optimistic view. i think its like 1% phd-s 3% in industry 30% at uni and the most of them are in math or comp sci. the rest are /btards and highschoolers and rick and morty fans.
by the way im 23 and studying genetics at uni so who the fuck am i to talk.

I have to ask

Is it even worth it?

I spend all week and weekend on MATLAB. 1% of my work is actually interesting developing figures or doing fresh new experiments.

Does it get easier? Even my advisor seems like he has absolutely no life after doing this 12 years now. HE just pushes research. I almost wonder if 100K a year even makes a difference to quality of life when you spend all of your time writing code and studying shit that 99.9% of people you encounter will not care about nor will they even understand. Girls ask me what I study and then look at me like some uber freak when I try to talk about it.

I honestly consider suicide lately. I am so drained mentally I cant even focus to watch TV, read a book, or play vidya anymore. Just code and write, code and write endlessly about particle physics. My brain is tired. At first it was fun, now I want to throw up at the sight of phys review letter.
I don't have much friends esp. since covid sent most people out of the labs. I've never even had a girlfriend ever, I know that is a stupid age old complaint, but now I start to think that it would be better to have just been dumb poor and work a shit job for 8 hours and have a gf to go see than to have no one and slave away for 15hrs, 7 days a week for money I don't have time to spend.

I only have 22k in the bank and with the stipend I still feel like I already have more money than I can spend... What good is 100K or 500K gonna do if I am still spending every waking hour in the lab on the computer.

[Anonymous No.12489810]

I am 25 yo neet with no future who discovered that he loved math very late. Now I hold a useless biz degree degree and a top rank finance masters but I'm a sperg and never got past any interview. Now I just do math and chill. Unironically feeling warm/nothing. Bad feelings kinda passed and if they return they go away quickly.

Grad students are generally wormy little faggots without backbones. That's why you're treated like shit
you gotta find some work you love doing . Take time off for yourself and develop hobbies. Don't donate five to seven years of your life to some asshole who expects 70 hours a week at $40K / year. Seriously. They'll respect you more if you take your weekends, set up reasonable working hours, and do good work.
Just realize that you're in this for you. Even if you master out, it's not the end of the world. You're not a failure for doing so. In fact, some of the most well-off people from my cohort mastered out. So take a vacation, take your weekends, work 9-6. If your boss tries to schedule a meeting on the weekend, during Christmas break, or after working hours, tell him that you can't make it and ask to have it rescheduled during a normal working hours.
But realize there's nothing more pathetic than a grad student who commits suicide. It's just a degree.
