/sci/ - Science & Math

What I learned from my own experience seems to be confirmed by the lives of others. Paul Erdos for example drank a ton of coffee and was supposedly always living out of his suitcase from one mathematics conference to the next.
In the past year I was enamoured by the syrian civil war and read probably 14,000 pages of books and news articles about it before I decided it no longer interested me. I could probably tell you a lot of things news presenters couldn't. I would sometimes sit for just 8 hours straight reading about Turkey or the 'free syrian' army.
So I imagine for any subject you must simply read about it all day everyday, high on coffee.
