I literally just want to learn shit. I don't care if I get some kind of shitty adjunct professorship and make less than some of my age cohort doing other things after I'm done with my studies.

Some philosophers can follow the dictates of the pic.

"Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it."

"What are the facts? Again and again and again – what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!"

"Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.
But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few minutes of your time, please—this won't take long." Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time—and squawk for more!
So learn to say No—and to be rude about it when necessary. Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you."

What about this: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/sci;329/5998/1477 or http://newsroom.melbourne.edu/studio/ep-81

They're saying 5-10 years.

At this point, I consider it incontrovertible that there exists a statistically significant difference in the social and psychological motivations of men and women.

While various special interest groups cry foul play about women in the sciences and maths, they ignore the mountains of data that show that women hold little to no biological interest in solitary abstract practices.

Where women excel and congregate in force is in the social world; hence the world of double and triple blind experiments with anonymous peer reveiw remains impenetrable to women. The methods required to ensure resilience against bias and social manipulation also serve to alienate women from participating in the less than glamorous work of the scientist and the logician.

I know this is a problem of doubling time and/or halving time. Tell me I messed up the setup or something. Any kind of feedback at all.

Sup /sci/

I read awhile ago about scientists dicking about with molecules to make a ruler that was only a few molecules in length.

Could you give me any more info? I tried google but I no good at computer. thank you
