I unironically agree with most of these.

>>10599213
some people just like doing maths

>you need a PhD and be in academia in order to study math

>>10599571
if you really like doing maths then being in academia and pursuing a phd is a pretty good way to pursue your interests together with others that share your interests. while a fitting environment aint obligatory, it does have a few upsides.

The cons outweigh the pros in academia, unless you are publicly recognized and at the top of your field

I mean if you're a hedonistic edgelord who doesn't want to contribute to the human race and want to make the most money and pleasure out of your time why stop at being an engineer? May as well say fuck it to STEM altogether and just go into business. That way you can actually have fun in your life and not be a loser.

you‘re correct in regards to most people, but i know some math academics that absolutely love that shit.
as long as you really enjoy it, your ego isn’t so fragile that you can‘t deal with failure or constantly dealing with people better than you, your department isn‘t utter dogshit and you know when to stop with your work so that your work and personal life remain balanced, you‘ll be fine.

>wants to “contribute” to the human race
>studies obscure problem in some tiny sub field of math instead of going after real problems

I don't study math lol, ut thats cuz I find it boring, not because I have an idealogical stance against it. Either way, all the STEM fields are connected, solving some random math problem might not directly yield practical results, but if nobody does it, the whole system will suffer as a result

Based and clown pilled. The seculars here want to supposedly contribute to mankind’s knowledge but at the same time they think the universe will die a heat death eventually. If that’s the case then why give a fuck? It’s all meaningless anyway.

i want wojaks and frogs to leave

Fuck you nigger succ my long rainbow colored cock

>>10599754
what the fuck

>>10599636
I would go into academia if I didn’t feel so puny in comparison to some people.
I know I don’t see behind the scenes where they work their asses off as well, but man it can be disheartening to see how smart some of these people are.

>Waste a bunch of time trying to characterize the heating of metal plates
>Wind up developing some useless transforms in the process
Yeah, if it doesn't make instant tons of Jewish debtfiat it's completely useless
