May times I would stay up till 4am doing math HW, then I would take a power nap and go deliver my HW (not even attend class) get back home, have lunch and sleep, effectively wasting a whole day. Then I would have less time to do my next HW and be behind on everything.
Never again (I hope).

I've avoided giving into the energy drink / coffee jew at least. Pure big brain power keeps me going. Plus bowls of blueberries

>>10257635
Das Kapital isn't half as good as people pretend it is.
The Commedia might as well not even be read if it's not in italian.
Phenomenology of Spectral theory by Gelfand W F Hegel is ridiculously hard to read.
The Sound and the Fury is amazing.
Siddartha isn't.
The Waves is better than To the Lighthouse.
1984 is a meme.
Pynchon is, in fact, not a meme.
You should also consider including Nabokov.

Why the fuck are you guys obsessed with French? It's a stupid language and the country is cucked, you can't even purchase T or a gun to kill yourself with when you realize you can't build muscle at all. I hope I weren't French

>>10257662
>the sub 80 IQs have arrived
we were just talking about reading books in their native languages anon

>>10257662
French is a great nation. Fuck off.

>>10257670
I don't know man, it seemed like a lot of people wanted to improve their french skills, but by all means if being a cuckold appeals to you then go ahead and learn french. Suits you well if you're a leftist

>>10257671
French is a language dimwit, and no it's full of muslims and dumb leftists. You have zero freedom and are forced to be a slave of the jews instead of dying when you have shit genetics and can't do anything about it

>>10257655
>Das Kapital
Reading it more for the historical context, not to become a communist. Like reading about """new"""/influential ideas/works
>Divine comedy
sadly I don't know Italian but I still think it has literary value in English.
>Hegel
yes, and I will be reading him in German.
>Siddhartha
see das kapital
>the waves
will look into it, thx
>1984
actually considering removing it since I know most of the plot and central theme anyway
>Nabokov
pale fire or Lolita?

>>10257684
IMHO Das Kapital is a waste of time. It would be more fruitful to read contemporary works of political philosophy and political economy. It's also a notoriously tedious read.

>>10257684
You honestly should either go the whole Descartes->Hume->Kant->Fichte->Schelling->Hegel or honestly drop Hegel.
Actually, pick up your copy, skip the Preface and try to read the first few pages of the introduction.

Lolita tbqh.

Don't want to offend anyone but I think a lot of this /lit/ reading material is a waste of time. Lots of words without much substance. If you do a course of basic general philosophy you gain more useful insight in a much more structured and efficient manner.

is there a work that summarises the history of philosophic ideas?

>>10257805
Well I'm studying mathematics at the moment. I was wondering why you'd want to do this as the work prospects are garbage right now. But if you have an engineering degree you'll be fine

>get my fucking cs degree already
>get a fulltime job

>>10257810
Best uni in the country so its kinda guaranteed work, even if its consulting stuff, also we take i think 4 electives to make us more employanle in bsc so i can get more CS-y classes to get programming job or whatever, i also take 3 CS classes in first year telecom so i can pick 4 more and be pretty good

I'll become a normie.

How does it feel to know that you will never achieve the level of us, truly superior native speakers

I seriously have never met a foreigner who wasn't immediately recognisable as such by his accent. In English however that is often the case

>>10257910
Feels good. I get to know your language and you don't know mine. Are you trying to act superior, lol.

>>10257926
what's your language anon
>implying I only speak German and english

>>10257910
I don't really care, I just have to learn it because I'll be doing a masters there, and having B2 level is a requirement. I think swedish is a more beautiful germanic language than german, after being done with german I would like to learn learn it.

>>10257930
you won't need German for your masters anon, they are all in English anyway
but good on you for trying to lesrn it, some people don't even attempt that and expect to be understood everywhere

>>10257929
Arabic. I also speak Italian and English fluently and French to a very good level.

>>10257930
Me too. I'm going to Hannover (I think not decided yet). Where you going to? It's technically not required for my admission. I just want to get gud thought. Otherwise it's hard to do stuff there without it.

>>10257935
Not that anon, but for "international masters" (officially in English) they get us internationals to take a course in academic German. It's part of the minor requirements.

>>10257894
In bsc theres not enough time to actually take telecom classes, you just take the math classes and programming+EE needed to start telecom in your masters;
classes needed for all courses in uni: calc1-3+lin algebra, probability and stats, mechanics and waves+ eletromagnetism and optics
Then we take stuff like intro programming, computer arquitecture, intro algorithms and data structures, OOP, operating systems;
EE we take digital logic, intro human-computer interaction, systems and signals, distributed systems, embedded, some of these are already kinda telecom, but then we have like 5 more really telecom classes ill link you the plan if you want

Actually put some effort in my studies now that I'll do what I like.

>>10258083
Protip: find other lonely people and hang out with them. Some will be toxic. Those you should avoid. Others will be mostly normal people who cannot fit in. Try to grow a friendship with those.
This is the only way I ever made friends. I tried being friends with normies. Doesn't work. Human psychology is such that they sniff you out as not one of them and they keep away from you. You think you are becoming their friend, but then you realize, nope, they are just being nice.
I believe there are even psychology experiments that show that humans self segregate into groups based on social markers. If you're a loner you'll never fit in with others that aren't also like you.

I want to start my own business, hopefully something relatively easy to do (technically, for me at least) but very useful to my customers (small business).

i already bought it. it's sitting in my garage until the oil comes in and i can change it.

kind of mad at myself because the owner tipped it on both sides and the crankcase covers on both sides are scratched. he even mentioned it, but i somehow didn't notice until i got it home and thought he was talking about another bike.

weird these are exactly my goals anon

>>10257621
>read 30 of the top100 /lit/ list (handpicked ofc)
I wouldn’t if I were you. Lit is just a circle jerk of abstract philosophy, classics, and high brow literature. In short, all the books that you won’t enjoy at all and will have to force yourself to read.
I would recommend reading applicable philosophy (aka morality and ethics), history, biographies, fiction, and above all anything that interests you. You’ll actually enjoy yourself immensely, and will be smarter for it, even if you’re reading a shitty murder mystery.

>>10257544
A gf is not a top priority anon, I would suggest to focus more on your other goals

There was a phase when I was taking 1800mg of caffeine pills a day. At that point just resetting your routine, going to the gym, and making a point to shower every day is more effective at keeping energy up.

Any motorcycle recommendations? Just looking for something cheap and reliable.

>>10258889
I'd only read a book on the list if it's recommended by somebody else, or you're very sure you'd like it when you dive into it. I transitioned from /lit/ books to reading nonfiction and history, and it's a lot more applicable to average people

But loneliness in that sense is a state of mind rather than physical loneliness.

>>10258094
How do you find other lonely people? I understand the concept but in practice this seems very difficult because we all spend so much time alone.

I find I am more productive if I don't abstain from fapping.

>>10263968
Which uni, anão?

>>10263968
>taking topology before metric spaces
You need to stop embarassing the rest of us economists tbqh.

>>10264137

I took the advice from a fellow mathematician who said Metric Spaces is not a prerequisite at all. A good foundation in Set Theory would be enough, for which I'll be using Halmos' book.

Do you think I won't be ok? I sincerely would like to know, as I didn't made those choices something official yet.

>>10264148
It isn't a requirement, but there's not much of a point in taking metric spaces after topology.
You should end up picking all the interesting properties of metrizable spaces later in functional analysis and measure theory.

>>10264157

It's my last year in college. So it's either take it now or never, which is sad, considering I should have done this before.

>>10264124
Just asking. I'll do the same at UFSC.

>>10264208

Are you from Economics? Going to do all those disciplines or just the analysis summer course?

>>10264208
Oh hey, nice to see you UFSC anon who's entering as a maths bachelor next year.
A friend of mine has actually decided on dropping his course and switching to maths, so I'll probably figure out a way to introduce you.
How's life?

>>10264212

I'll be slowly transferring to math, so yeah I intend to do all disciplines. I'll finish linear algebra at UDESC while getting some shit done at UFSC.

transfer to a better university

I have many 2019 ambitions, but the only one that I guess applies to this board is to study really fucking hard. After a shitty winter break, I need to focus my time on studying now more than ever. Also my ambition is to meet people to study with in my classes.

Learning to stand correctly is unbelievably easy.
Learning to sit correctly is something I fucking struggle with sometimes. I guess it's everyone else's bad influence. I recommend practicing while eating.

Gonna write these down or else I’ll never do them.
- clean my eating a bit, have been having too much junk
- start properly lifting
- study hard in order to be way ahead of my peers
- reduce sleeping hours to 7.

>>10257730
This is completely false.
When you read some faggot's interpretation of what someone else said, you are not reading the actual text, which can have many interpretations or mean a completely different thing.
It is very important in philosophy to read in the original language, the same way it is very important in history to read the actual sources, instead of some moron's narrative.
The same goes for religious studies, which are just a subcategory of philosophy and should be read in the original language or not at all.
This is coming from a greekfag btw, who learnt ancient greek in school so I have some experience on what I am talking about.
Let me give you an example from religion. I am not trying to promote religion it's just that it is the one example that has struck me the most in all my years and made me form the opinion that you need to read in original language.
In St. John's gospel the first line says : "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This is nonsensical garbage.
In the original Greek version it says that God is Logos. Logos means logic and reason, not just speech.
For some reason the buffoons translated it completely wrong, and this mistranslated has survived and formed Christianity.
It is THE most important line in the Bible, the one that equates God with reason, and the faggots got it wrong.
Now it this has happened with such an "important" text, you can only imagine what happens with lesser known texts...

Same, tried to make friendly small talk with some friends of people who I know, but you can really tell that they don't care about it and would rather the conversation end but they don't want to be rude about it.

Not a fail proof strategy because you end up with two people who really want to be friends but they have little in common and no ability to empathize with the other (why they don't have friends in the first place). For example I spent HS with a group of loners. I was a science nerd. There were a couple of vidya geeks and some guy who just tagged along (we don't know much about him but he was kind). We sort of hang out boring each other in turn with our discussions that the rest of the group didn't care about.
That works when you're a kid but when you are an adult you want something more than that. Also half of the reason you want friends is to increase your social network which in turn helps you meet people that might help you along or gfs ...etc. If you are friends with loners you don't get that.
