/sci/ - Science & Math

I feel like STEM academia is just a giant sinkhole for public finance. These people didn't come up with anything important since the 60's. The so called experts with inflated egos who teach there are useless in the real world (just remember all the false predictions of COVID).
Higher STEM education should be done by firms where they are able to employ their students later or at least give them relevant knowledge and skills to be productive in the industry.
Most academics are just endlessly munching up grants to dig around in deadend research topics, circle jerking for citations with other 'scientists' and it's just a giant waste of time and money.

I'm an actual phd a none of the people surrounding me, including me takes this seriously.
It was made to make fun of mathematics, show where it goes wrong, not to be taken seriously. It's like the Schrodinger cat. Obviously the cat can't be alive and dead, yet all the fucking normies think it just means something deeper.. when it was just meant to show the flaw in the theory. It's a very effective way to weed out the pseuds if you ask me
