How do you select this something? Should you have it at 19? Will it just come to you?

Aight. I suppose I'll bat first.

I'm getting an EE degree whilst simultaneously training to be a Navy Seal. When I was 13 I contemplated my life. I realized I could die with a house and children. I could have the death of my parents. Of my grandparents. My great grandfather spent millions on a gold-mine, and there wasn't any gold. I respected this venture of optimism, regardless of the consequences. You're either fine with dying a regular person, or you ferociously fight to die differently. I hate physically training. I hate math. I hate school. I hate my life. I hate the idea of wasting my life more so than any of these things. It didn't feel like a choice. It's something I have to do. I bought shit loads of chainlink a year and a half ago. This was my first venture. If I lose everything, it'll be okay. You don't have to be special. You don't have to figure it out. Just find a brick wall and shatter against it. I will tell my children of my great grandfather. Honestly, if you can't do it yourself, then do whatever it takes. Even if you need methamphetamine to motivate yourself. Even if the attempt shortens your lifespan x2. There are 7 billion humans. Die with a house and kids? Congrats. Die a winner? Congrats, I'm sure the end was boring regardless.

The true and forgotten reason why humans engage in expanding their knowledge and engage in science
Thank you anon. I needed that

>>22584744
nietzsche was a shill.
imagine thinking god was dead because calculus and shiet

>>22585720
Read the books maybe instead of repeating shit you read on plebbit or wikipedia
>calculus and sheit

science is alchemy for wageslaves

>>22586185
Wow. What a hot take. Tell me, what is science according to you, and try to use more than five words in a half sentence, if you haven't just jumped t the next thread to scream moon or use a meme you don't understand

>>22586320
he means pic rel

>>22586377
>>22586320
i don't fully agree with pic btw, just the part that implies science is a body of arcane knowledge and techniques practiced by what laymen see as magicians, much like how alchemists were

>>22586320
science is alchemy with an apriori assumption of materialism that is a form of madness. That would lead someone to say something as stupid as god is dead.

gravity could invert tomorrow and it would be a valid scientific result. Science makes people believe repetition of results is evidence results will continue, it gives them a genuinely insane perception of reality that leads them to suffer.

alchemy is the correlation of will and experience it makes no such unjustified assumptions. The scientific revolution was a way of initiating people without them being aware they were initiated and so massively increasing the productivity of labor

100% agree, but isn't all knowledge technically a posteriori since it derives from the 5 senses?

>>22586135
peepee poopoo I need some whores

>>22586557
the knowledge that your continued coherent experience is dependent on transcendent variables (god) is self evident

>>22586643
i'm familiar with the whole "i know i, at least, must exist" concept but how does that relate to god?

Guy killed himself because he couldn’t have sex with his cousin

>>22586672
god is symbolic personification of the characteristic of reality that maintains your experience

>>22586695
the results that experimental science offers are probabilistic, that is a fact

>>22586377
That isn't science that is (((science)))
>>22586483
What you try to describe is (((science))) as well, congrats brainwashing worked wonders.

What I understand in science is looking for answers and never being happy with the answer, trying to test your hypothesis and be happy as it can be if you get falsified because it means you haven't understood it, and keep digging, till you reach a state that can be equalized with madness, because you know you cant really know but you need to know. If anything builds something practical with what you find along the way, great, but will it be thr (((truth)))? Never. If there should ever be a point where there are no more questions to be answered anymore its time to bite the bullet because then life becomes meaningless

>semantics

>>22586726
so god is an axiom that comes out of my human intelligence (and associated experiences) being extant, an axiom that i'm not alone?

>>22586731
they're not probabilistic they're inaccurate because there is a limit to the accuracy of measurement and there is a limit to the accuracy of computation

>>22586781
>ngmi
exactly, you will never know it all, and that is beautiful

>>22586731
no shit. and?
also
>experimental science
that's a bit redundant

>>22586834
>and that is beautiful

>>22586854
>imgur
you dont know how ironic that is plebbit

>>22586824
agree, but i also meant statistical analysis to establish p values, which can never reach exactly zero

>>22586850
as opposed to theoretical work, which is closer to a apriori knowledge than experimentation, which is much closer to pure a posteriori

>>22586850
>>22586897
you can argue that theoreticians don't do science if you want

>>22586897
yeah but there's another scam science is pushing these days saying that because we can usefully express our observations probabilistic it is evidence what we are observing is probabilistic. which is nonsense you can't get scientific evidence of actual probabilistic characteristics of reality without infinitely accurate measurement and computation because any discrepancy between prediction and result has to be attributed to measurement/computation error before randomness

>>22587052
>attributed to measurement/computation error
do you mean that no measuring device is useful since there is no smallest unit of measure, do you mean that calculations performed by a computer are untrustworthy since they derive from quantum mechanical processes?

>>22586897
>>22586941
I understand I simply am arguing in favor of lending that work to the wheel house of philosophy.

>>22587120
no I mean our predictive capacity is limited and this is not evidence of there being probabilistic characteristics of reality

>>22587169
are mathematicians or theoretical physicists philosohpers?

>>22587201
philosophers of mathematics and physics respectively. jej

I just did maths, now gotta finish a project, and then a second round of pushups for today. If I don't maintain this routine of getting shit done, I will have lost the money I spent towards my classes, and have made a mockery out of myself for announcing to the world I would be a Navy Seal. Failure is always an option. You wouldn't want to be me and fail. My portfolio is also 97% LINK even though I could diversify into better options at this point. I'm either stupid, or in a cult. We're all gonna make it.
