/sci/ - Science & Math

Why do I never learn anything from female math professors? Male math professors are better lecturers from my experience.

just shave ur head bro
a buzzcut makes ur head exposed to the sun which stimulates ur hbrian to grow.

What happens to the ordinary layman like myself when automation fills the role? There will be millions and millions of fodder who will all need to still feel individually respected and valued.

>A Mathematics/Philosophy double major

What kind of person do you imagine?

Theorem:
>CS
>not science or math

We can immediately eliminate the possibility of CS being science as that could be easily proved by contradiction, and should be left as an exercise for the reader.

Let M be the the math space, with subsections including any and all math(including basic arithmetic, literally any and all math). Then if we consider that programming is a subset of CS, and Assembly-language coding is a subsection of programming, and ultimately assembly language is just bit manipulation in the forms of arithmetic and bitwise operations, we can say that assembly language is also a subset of M.
As CS and Math have a common child through the mutual subset of assembly-programming, we can now decidedely say that
>CS
>a math but not science

I just want to drop out of life and study as many things as I can. I wouldnt mind staying in academia for as long as possible. Many people these days seem to shun it. I would do it even with debt. I have nothing much else to live for but the pursuit of truth and knowledge for it is enlightening in so many ways. The studying of science, math, philosophy. I don’t see the point of life but to spend it chasing the possible meanings existence and the nature of all of reality’s processes. Academic rigor is the soul of life. Careers that don’t involve these passions and forms of enslavement. Specialization is limiting the potential for a fully encompassed body of knowledge. Why is intellectualism so demonized now?

The Gini coefficient is a bad minimization objective. Proof: There are Pareto improvements that increase it.

math isn't hard for me

Is a Math/Philosophy double major worth it? Not for the job opportunities but just for its own sake.

This is true, and is a good point. It might also be pointed out that different people find it much harder to actually make good long term decisions. We all have different starting points when it comes to moral development.

But the whole idea of the tradition of the virtues in ethics is that most people can improve their overall happiness by developing (mostly through a long process of habituation) certain dispositions. For example, some people are born much more socially anxious then other people: this person would probably be much happier, in the long term, if they were to habituate themselves to feel less afraid in social settings. The most obvious way to do this is continued exposure to these anxiety-provoking scenarios (say, going into crowds), until one becomes accustomed to it, or even until one does it out of habit. This is what ethics would refer to as "developing the virtue of courage"

In a similar way, although it may be true that from having been in a chaotic environment in u a child might be much more impulsive, this does not mean that the child could not habituate the virtue of prudence, although it probably would be harder for them.

On the topic of whether or not developing such a virtue would help in the process of reproduction, I confess ignorance: it is possible that it might make its holder happier without increasing their reproductive success—however, given the choice between happiness and reproductive success, I personally would choose happiness.
In any case, I am not sure if these types of questions can really be adequately answered by evolutionary psychology; evolutionary psychology is good for many things (particularly those developments which have a long evolutionary history, such as sexuality and digestion) but it seems to falter a bit when dealing with recent cultural inventions such as languages, processes of education, abstract concepts, systems of mathematics, and culture. It is not the best guide for living well.

I want to combine my Philosophy with a science degree because I feel it will help my philosophical studies even more and vice versa. I never got far into scientific studies in my education though because I was a depressed teenager who didnt get far into math. Is it too late to get into anything STEM? Should I bother if I dont feel as passionate about it as humanities? I took astronomy and biology for my undergrad gen eds. Loved astronomy and hated biology.

>So basically I need to find out the iq for her family
You just need to ascertain her pedigree.
Women tend to be less ambitious than men, and slightly lower IQ even in high IQ successful families, so women in the family tree being a housewife or nurse is not indicative of low IQ family genetics. You need to focus your investigation on the males in her family. Is her father a successful a doctor or an engineer? Are her brothers losers or are they running successful businesses or gainfully employed in STEM related fields? Are there any prominent personalities in her family tree, such as inventors, CEOs, authors, famous artists, talented musicians, senators, etc? You must also ensure that the men in her maternal lineage are high IQ as well, otherwise your daughters will be stupid as fuck. Just look what happened to that poor cuck Linus Torvalds (invented the linux kernel at age 21). He comes from a long line of high IQ, his father is currently a candidate for the presidential election in Finland, but too bad he married an imbecilic war pig and now all three of his daughters are stupid as fuck.

If you catch even a whiff of mediocrity, if even so much as a distant uncle or cousin once removed is some mediocre, unbrilliant trash, stay the fuck away.

>in contradistinction to

Is someone born intelligent or does he/she become intelligent later on?
If so, what does someone have to do to rise his IQ?

>However, for some areas like math, the few women that do make it to that top few percent tend to be better than men.
What?

Is science a religion?
