life sucked IN college, particularly if you're american. you're just a paypig bloating a ponzi scheme where professors who publish inane post-modern papers no one even reads and burgeoning university bureaucracies that force diversity and leftwing activism saddle you with debt you can never escape from. even if you enjoy the brainwashing, you're still just going through an assembly line production with other brainlet normies and pseuds. you live in a shitty dorm with other people and have no power to do anything because you have no income. maybe things are different at the elite ivy universities, but I doubt it, they just seem to offer better networking.

you're currently losing at life

extremely based. the book made me really depressed though. Like, isnt the conclusion of the book that the entire universe is condemned to an endless cycle of stagnation and intergalactic war, and that cooperation is fundamentally useless against suspiction and prejudice? The cool little metaphor about the fish in the terrarium gives me some hope, but I don't think it really meant much....

If you don't understand both STEM and the humanities you are a very low-level intellect, sorry. STEM-spergs don't see the forest for the trees, but people who don't have a thorough understanding of math, statistics, physics, computer science et cetera, don't even see the trees.

Mathematics. It’s substantially harder than business at most schools though, I had no life for four years, and it ruined every personal relationship I had, don’t do it if you’re unwilling to pay that price.

I'm sorry to interrupt with an old cliché but it is LITERALLY a dark and stormy night right now.
