/sci/ - Science & Math

Okay, so /lit/ faggots disappointed me gravely with pseudoscience shit.
What good book could you recommend on society, social psychology, social philosophy, engineering philosophy, consciousness? Something like: The Information: A History, A Theory, A Flood - very interesting and easily accessible.

met a guy yesterday, at first he seemed nice, but didn't have a plan for his future, was muttering something about majoring, but did not know what, maybe engineering maybe physics maybe something else. What I wanna say, he wasn't a concrete man. Anyways, he asked me what I studied, so I said cosmetology, so he said like "so you do nails, huh, eh...". How do I deal with these people? My ethical standards led me to cosmetology in the first place also a wish to help people to present themselves with confidence to the world. I help people who were involved in accidents, surgeries. I want to help people like the guy I met, but they have problems in their mind (apart of him being obese), how do we help them to get a grasp on reality?

It is legit and I read it. Have you ever encountered anoying sales people? This is basically what you would become if you were to follow this stuff.
Why do you need social skills? To acquire friends? For job?
Reevaluate your life, would you have many superficial friends or just one or two, who accept you as you are? Do you feel, you could bullshit people just for you own gains or would you rather be honest and true, not giving a shit how you look in the eyes of other?
This is your choice, the fact is, that media perpetuates this fake over the top friendliness. That is just a facade of shallow people.

This is quite normal now, now one really reads most of the papers, so people, when in need just squeeze out some meek, sometimes partly made up papers.
>Physics friend
>Doing research, checking out this quite obscure paper about optics/something/microsopy/polarisation/etc
>Using formulas in the paper on data
>Nonsensical outputs
>Hits up author of the paper
>Ayy lmao, that method doesn't really work

>Do you think it is morally fine to discriminate based on how good at person is at mathematics?
We should discriminate against retard fags, who can't write even the simplest of sentences.
