I think that the point they're trying to make is that the ammount of animal and plant life that can be found in 1 sq km of dessert can be found in 1 sq dm of rainforest,.
And that the land therefore would be in much better use if it would be converted into a rainforest.

You shouldn't of course convert all of the australian outback to rainforest since the biodiversity that exists there is wort saving, but to say that it needs all of that area is just retarded, and that some of that area can't be used to do somehting better

What happens to pure mathematicians when every problem is solved, and there is nothing left to discover?

How can we distinguish between brainlets and actual intelligent people? Any universal traits? Now how can we can distinguish the actual smart people versus the fuckers who just think they are smart and are actually average or dumb? Do you think its more likely that the pseudo-intellectuals are actually just brainlets or just average?

What is the BEST way to learn Algebra through self-teaching? I managed to learn fractions on my own and now I want to go and figure out Algebra too. I'm looking for both Algebra 1 and 2.

Books, websites, whatever. And I want a way to learn it that is actually understanding it, not just
>u just multiply x by y because thats how u do it lol
I want reasons!

>7 days straight of this, today I'm tired and can't think all that well, and when I took out a piece of paper to continue work, I groaned and had no will, even though I had the same quality of sleep I normally get the night before

So sci I attend a top 5 uni and lately I've been notcing more Black "people" in my higher level classes. Back in highschool most of them seemed like retards and and most did my freshman and sophmore years of college, but now I've been seeing an influx of high IQ blacks, wtf is happening?
Are they evolving an shiet?
>tfw a nigger had the audacity to debate me about my published papers being unfounded
>tfw he was right

Seriously what are the traits of a brainet?

Is "brain overload" a thing? Like, you spend so much time switching between tabs on addicting websites, or you read too much shit simultaneously, or engage in any sort of compulsive behavior for so long that your brain gets exhausted and you can't do anything at all for a while?

tfw to smart to believe smart people actually exist

Can someone please explain to me why they find their particular field fascinating?

I've always grown up in an environment where it's a given fact that any academic pursuit is inherently boring. My college courses certainly aren't changing my mind. I thought that the field I'm going into was very interesting, but college seems to be trying to beat that out of me.

>/pol/ gets cucked by /sci/, once again: The Thread

I imagine this is what all those dumb studycucks in my classes felt like when I didn't come to class and didn't study, but I still wound up acing all my exams and getting perfect scores. It must be infuriating.
