/sci/ - Science & Math

okay /sci/, anthropology student here

do you ever think maybe the reason so many people are depressed in this day and age is because they don't feel like they have a concrete purpose in their lives, which is brought about by how vague western culture is?

people are told they can be whatever they want, leaving them entirely on their own to decide. this is nothing like what has happened before, all through history people would inherit their parent's workload and trade. going back as far as hunter gatherers, you didn't really have an unemployment office or job opportunities, you had to hunt. there was no stress about advancement or betterment, they just lived and died doing what has always been done, and no doubt they would of derived confidence from that.

the internet has made this confusion worse, someone can belong to any number of internet cultures which will color their IRL perspective. you've got dumbass kids running around with faux masks when they'd ordinarily be doing something more socially acceptable.

just my thoughts, i'm probably talking out of my ass. thoughts, /sci/? i know you guys do math, but i sure as hell wasn't to post this on /adv/.

Mars is a barrel shithole, any sane transhuman would prefer to live in orbital or on a Terran world.

Read the "Mars Trilogy" of books if you insist:

Fuck space travel, invest all money in Artificial Intelligence.

Space travel will be trivially easy once we hit singularity. Everything else pales in fucking comparison.

What if it was a forced meme?

>mfw all they would see is me jacking off and looking at /sci/

What if space as we know it is dark matter? Hence why nothing can travel through it faster than the speed of light?

Am I onto something or should I graduate high school first?

Pic unrelated but made me lol

Four: Those civilizations are there and might even have received every radio message we sent to space including the first radio transmission, but they noticed many people being such faggots like OP.

PIC related, it's one of them not giving a fuck because of OP
