The environmental crisis might be the best example of why we need to go past capitalism as a fucking specie, anon.

While other unchangeable aspects of your life have a limited, mostly ignorable effect on your life - such as not having a singing voice, or being genetically very limited in your athletic abilities' ceiling - intelligence in the sense that we've understood it intuitively for the longest period seems to be the best human-controllable predictor (so not taking luck into account) for one's ability to maneuver himself in the world, to compete with other people in mentally demanding tasks, to be creative or original, to develop and perform highly sought after skills or to innovate; a good predictor for material success, and adaptability, at least within the western world. Stupid people are always being held down, outsmarted, outwitted, used and oppressed, because that is the way of the world and the way our hierarchies have worked for the longest time.
So it is not a lack of self-awareness that makes me concerned that I could be less intelligent than I believed. It is the belief that, if I were not to be intelligent, my entire future would be mostly certain and limited to a life I would not want to live, that makes me fear for this outcome. I "can't be unintelligent", because then I might as well just not be - a life enduring inevitable failure after failure is not a life worth living. This is an intentional, fully accounted-for lapse of rationality, it's called hope; it's basically a coping mechanism.

I have a Linear Algebra exam coming up (i'm clueless, and i just want to pass). I have the previous exam but there are no solutions. Anyone knows how should i solve this, or can give me a link to some Linear Algebra problems that have exercises like this?.

Trying to translate as best as i can from my native language:

Find one base in Ker(f) and Im(f), where f:R^2 -> R^2
f(x, y) = (x, 2x)

This is NOT a homework

Wow, what a fascinating region.
You'd almost think that there was some incredibly advanced society bordering them that imported technology and other civilization-building tools.

I'm having a nice, big fight with LibreCalc on how to make a double y-axis graph. Can someone go ahead and plot this data? It's the year vs the obesity rate, and the year versus the testosterone level in American men in ng/dL. I don't want to have to install R or use Plotly to do something so damn simple. Please post your result.

((1970, 12.00%), (2020, 36.00%)), ((1970, 600), (2020, 450))

∫xdx on [−∞,∞] is equal to 0. If you disagree, you are objectively wrong and should fuck off.
>inb4 b-b-but if x=2+v then ∫(2+v)dv on [−∞,∞] so ur wrong
then you'd have to change the limits of integration and it would be different infinities so that's irrelevant retard, l2hyperreal
also, .9... is not equal to 1
pic related, it's a 1fag

I have an assignment where I'm told to plot the results of an equation with 2 independent vars vs one of its dependent vars.
i.e. f(x,y) = z , plot y vs z.
This makes no sense to me though, since wouldn't we NEED a 3d plot involving both x and y? Otherwise in 2d with just y vs z, I'd get some vertical lines which are meaningless.

>Is my professor a retard in this case, or me?

if you were to explain everything using the language of math, can you just ballpark me how many calculations would happen on (and or in) earth in one second?

You are phenomenally stupid.

According to you, if McDonald's plastered adverts for steaming shit as much as they do for cheeseburgers, then people would crave steaming shit just as much. Because, according to you, it's "conditioning".

In reality that wouldn't happen. We crave cheeseburgers because we crave meat, and the salty/sweet tastes found in the cheese and sauce and whatever.

You're so fucking stupid it's beyond comprehension.

Jesus christ, the cope radiating from this thread, I can see why anon wants to quit, because he doesn't want to end up like these desperate anons who just weave a coping web around themselves. This place fucking sucks. It may be a lesser evil, but it's still an evil. OP clearly states why he wants to leave, but you fucks keep trying to drag him down and nourish himself with misery like you fags. You really are here forever, but not for the right reasons. Also OP, just go on /pol/, /r9k/ and /lgbt/ until you become either disgusted with this website or a faggot nazi. Pic related, it's the coping fucks who think they're superior to plebbitors because they can call me a nigger.
