Why is this shit allowed?

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 24 02:14:30 2019 No.10585672 >>10585661 if smarter = puts indices on everything and relies on basis/chart-dependent quantities, then sure

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 24 02:18:01 2019 No.10585681 >>10585678 algebraic topology is the coolest shit ever, man cohomology is fuckin dope

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 24 10:49:51 2019 No.10586468 >>10585649 This. But because we let too many people be scientists. Now the fields are flooded, and with mediocrity at that.
