you cant let people affect you,especially if youre a genius ,dont let stupidity win

>>12170517
i don't blame perelman for preferring to pick mushrooms than deal with the grant whore retards in academia, pic related. you have one life. might as well enjoy it.

>>12170517
They only way Perelman could be more based is if he makes another huge discover/break through of some kind, gets it verified by other mathspergs then blows up the building with everyone including himself inside it.

>>12170550
That's not based, that's insane and you're mentally ill.

>>12170517
>SJWs fucking broke what the Soviet Union couldn't
how so?

>>12170517
>now in seclusion and picking mushrooms as his passtime
Sounds based.

>>12170517
what are you talking about, he works for some huge investment bank and makes tons of cash

>>12170520
This, desu. You do it for the few geniuses around and across time who'll get it. And you do it for you. And you do it for future people who might be smart enough to get it.
And hell, you do it for future and current people who are smarter then you and will be able to improve on your work after using it as a springboard.

>>12170551
I don't want to say it's based, but someone might say that that's based.

>>12170551
Jesus christ, thank you. The violence circlejerk on this website is really deplorable.

>>12170875
>deplorable

Academics always complain that they're hated and never ask why they're hated.

>>12170517
Actually that gives them too much credit, since they're apparently not aware of how hated they are.

>>12170517
he probably posts here. i think he is El Arcon.

>>12170558
What Portland is to USA, Berkeley is to academia and has been for decades now. Avoid it for your own sanity.

>>12170517
>be Grigori Perelmen
>be Ted Kaczynski
>be the smartest, most important men in existence
>both attend berkeley once
>both leave to go pick mushrooms in the wilderness
what the FUCK does BERKELEY do to these men to completely destroy their modern will?

>>12171218
i agree tho i would suggest avoiding all modern academia period. if you 're going to get a degree then do it and leave as soon as possible. i can't think of one great academic that had a soul to begin with (i.e. wasn't a child prodigy groomed by the system) that didn't end up killing themselves or btfoing out of academia. even in the humanities like DFW or mark fisher

>>12170544
>so many words to say so little
I hate people who do this shit. You know they're just hoping you get lost and can't see how shitty their actual point is.

>>12170544
>people say 2+2=5 and they are right because 2+3=5

>>12171256
holy cope!

>>12171244
It's Berkley it's a liberal shit hole.

>>12170517
I fucking know, right?

>>12171412
what cope are you talking about? are you "coping" because you're in academia and i insulted you? there isn't a single job in academia that would pay more than what im making now. in real life do you go around mindlessly saying dumbfuck non sequiturs like "based", and then when someone responds "what?", you say "dilate" and then smugly dab all over everyone? do you know why you say the things that you do?

>>12170517
He probably just didn't want to deal with the attention brought upon him (along with the expectations). No one should be forced to be subject to that kind of thing if they don't want it. Good for him, honestly

>>12171561
No, this was special. He continued doing teaching sessions many times and does socialize with non-academic people.
He considered the STEM society full of pompous pretentious narcissistic retarded children to who status and image are more important than driving mathematics and other subjects forward for the greater good of Humanity, especially emphasized in the way they conversed and behaved and mixed infantile social politics into their moronic behavior which detracted from mathematics.
He just met the bottom of the barrel, the absolute lowest level dogshit that Humanity had to offer, at Berkley and it completely broke him.

>>12171476
Holy unironically based

>>12170520
>dude just keep working hard to secure the future of the cattle in hopes that 0.1% is not completely retarded

>>12170520
I love stupidity. Spite for my peers motivates me to become the best researcher possible.
>just don't go to a top-tier school though

>>12170853
And look where that got us, thousands of years to keep the masses well fed. I wish they all have to go back to worrying about their next meal every single moment of their life. I wish people were sent back to hunter/gatherer times and that they live in constant fear of predators attacking them while they sleep.

>>12171928
I've talked to people who've lived in barely contacted tribes and they're happy as all fuck. You hunt for 3 hours then come home, do tons of drugs by the river, eat food made by the village mothers, fuck your girl, and nap and sleep for the rest of it

>>12170517
He had to see about some mushrooms

>>12172138
And then die from infection after cutting your leg

>>12172148
Just put some honey on it lol

>>12172148
Tanzanian tribes kind of figured out that part and don't have the problem mate.

>>12170550
Checked. Based.

>>12171256
Super based. Finishing my PhD next summer and looking for jobs now. I just want to die instead of sucking the cock of the government to fight over the whore-ish grant system.

>>12171586
This is pretty much all of academia. It's all posturing, image, grandiose, and blowing the right people.

>>12170517
>now in seclusion and picking mushrooms as his passtime
I was just trying to pick mushrooms recently and you can barely find shit. People swarm the forest shortly after the it rains and leave nothing behind here.
Like with pretty much everything, too many people ruin even mushroom picking.
God bless him for being able to pick mushrooms and be chill while in seclusion.

>>12170567
what are you talking about, he lives with his mother in russia

>>12172301
What ya PhDing in?

>>12172138
Do the women do drugs by the river, too?

>>12171244
In my opinion, it has to do with the fact that these men are literal ubermensch in a time when society has no place for ubermensch. It's racist to be one. Back in the day if you were a man of superior talent, society would bend itself in order to make itself more useful to you for the end goal of you becoming more useful to it. Nowadays it's the opposite. You are already privileged! Therefore society must go in the opposite direction, use those resources to give opportunities to the useless. That's how you get Piper Harron in academia and Grigori Perelman picking mushrooms.

I solved the formula for the exact distribution of the primes, the formula for the n'th prime, the formula for all factors of a number, proved the twin prime conjecture, solved the Riemann hypothesis, provided a method to turn piecewise functions into continuous ones, and provided a universal theory of unified academics, and I sit in my apartment all day picking digital mushrooms because of how messed up society is at the moment.

>>12173213
Bullshit
You're delusional, if you did any of that you'd have people knocking down your fucking door to give you money and awards.
If you don't realize this you'll just fall even farther into your own fantasies.

>>12173282
lol
anon....I

I even wrote out the form for that periodic product polynomial that people look for and discuss but can't find because it wasn't publicly standardized

but ok anon, i'll listen to you.

>>12173282
yeah, the more I think about it, I definitely didn't do any of those things, what was I thinking.....

And I definitely, definitely did NOT turn the Heavyside Step function into a continuous function in the complex plane. Nope, just didn't happen.

(pic is something else, not the complex HS formula)

>>12170875
This is a children’s site what did you expect?

>>12170517
Tbh I would become a huge misanthrope if I lived in fucking Berkley. Jesus. We're lucky he didn't become a supervillain and try to engineer human extinction.

>>12173373
Functions aren't continuous in the complex plane, they're holomorphic.

>>12173402
thanks, of course I meant continuous as if the i-axis = the y-axis, but good to know. In the holomorphic sense you got me curious if the functions I'm using/ referring to are infinitely differentiable, but I'm pretty sure they are, checking now.

>>12173445
A function is holomorphic on a region of the complex plane if and only if it satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations.

I find it suspicious that you claim to have solved the Riemann hypothesis without knowing this, even engineering students know this definition.

>>12173473
it wasn't needed for what i was doing.
what aspect of the Riemann do you think necessitates using the definition of holomorphism?
are you saying you think it can't be solved without invoking the term holomorphic in the proof?
proving where the zeros are isn't dependent on the holomorphic aspect of the dirichlet eta function.

anyways, i did check it for the heavyside step altered function, and that one is complex differentiable and holomorphic for all values in its domain.

>>12170517
it's spelled Berkeley

>>12171838
Yes.

>t Chad

>>12170517
>SJWs fucking broke what the Soviet Union couldn't
Nothing you said suggests that. go back to pol faggot

>>12172148
I'm sick of seeing this bullshit intended as a refutation tribal life. I'd rather die of an infection than work for 10 hours a day 5 days a week and then die like a vegetable when I'm 80 years old

>>12173864
Not him but I seriously doubt this
There's also no reason society can't have reduced wageslave lifestyle conditions with modern medicine and shit
It's only that those two extremes are the only extant cases

>>12170875
/sci/ is reddit lite. the most reddit board on 4chan and one of the stupidest. even /lgbt/ is less reddit than /sci/

>>12170544
2 + 2 = 11 in base 3

that’s an easier example if anyone wants to convey the same message

>>12173875
yes yes everything that isn't the the most extreme and edgy is reddit. I remember what it was like when i was 16 too

>>12173867
This, I think the middle way is ideal. Just slow the heck down, we've come far, no need to sprint now.

>>12173893
I certainly think there's a place for sprinting. But everything in our society seems to revolve around it no matter what arena you're dealing with. And definitely if/when we reach closer to post scarcity, post humanism, extended life etc.
I certainly like to go full blast on my own interests and hobbies and stuff. but also sometimes i wanna put it on the back burner and just mellow the fuck out. And if you tell people that, they kinda ssume you're giving up. or that you should be giving it 150% until you figure the shit out etc

Why does Berkley make everyone hate humanity bros?

>>12173928
I would suggest the faculty, students and local residents.

>>12170551
The line between basedness and madness is thin, if not nonexistent.

>>12170558
>how so?
>he doesn't explain it and makes broad grandstanding tier arguments
>totally forgets you asked how so
stop it anon you're better than this

>>12173928
because california is filled with the worst of humanity.

>>12171244
>lots of drug use at Berkeley
Do you think magic mushrooms helped him solve the Poincare conjecture? Maybe he tends to his own mushgarden

>>12173995
>t. paragon of human ideals

>>12173998
>t. tu quoque victim faggot

>>12173998
Yes.

>>12173998
Yes.

>>12171244
I'm curious as to how liberals and leftists here feel about being repulsive to large segments of the population, to the point where it's plausible that people with brilliant minds would rather withdraw from society than be around you?
I'm guessing the answer is some combination between distressed and empowered.

>>12171244
Where the fuck do you morons get the idea he's living in some hut in the wilderness? He lives in St Petersburg, with 5 million other people.
Going to the woods to pick mushrooms of an extremely popular pastime all over central and eastern Europe. Pretty much everyone I know goes to the woods to pick mushrooms. It's a family activity. Go for a nice walk then make some mushroom soup. It didn't make you a fucking hermit.

>>12170550
schizo

>>12174274
Apathy.

>>12170520
Beginning to see this as circumclampifluoraccimated tb, qh. I respect him for looking upon humanity and be able to just walk away.

>>12172148
I grew up walking around in the woods barefoot. What a delusional domesticated suburbanite.. They could hobble you at birth, and you'd blame the terrain.

>>12174392
Are you saying this as a liberal or leftist?
I'm curious to hear from there here. Maybe it's too much of a nerve.

>>12174411
Liberals are pretty pissed about being compared to Leftists since the later are authoritarian "moral" fascists.

>>12174919
I agree, anarchists truly need to revive the left it seems.

>>12174941
Anarchists are more liberal than leftist, ergo every time a Commune is established throughout history like the Paris Commune or Spanish Communes you get instant war between liberal anarchists and fascist socialist/communist leftists.

>>12173882
who hurt you sweaty

>>12173335
>>12173344
>>12173373
Look below the desk. See the little box with a Zyprexa on it? Open it and pop a blister before writing another post.

>>12174947
>Anarchists are more liberal than leftist
They're all over the place because they're anarchists and they don't care about stupid labels.

>>12175015
That's why they are liberal. Understand the word. Extreme/Radical Liberalism is Anarchy.

>>12173492
bro, it's like basic complex anal, get a life

>>12171838
this desu
The worse thing is that (((retarded))) people will take your life's work and say it was a female-power oddissey, a defense of insect rights, or that you were actually gay and black

>>12173875
The most reddit board is actually /int/, but I agree this is the stupidest

>>12174274
Dude, it's even worst as a centrist, no one actually listens to you. You're either the new Hitler, the new Staline, the New Berny or the New Trump. And you are just confused because you want to be pragmatic and help people. With science.
Depends also on your definition. All burgers are way more the right leaning than they think they are.

>>12174278
In a shocking new development, braindead political posters have a cartoonish view of the world.

>>12170517
Picking mushrooms is nice.

>>12175381
I don't think I've gotten any replies from liberals and/or leftists yet. It's bizarre. Maybe that really is their kryptonite. Just ask them how they feel about being repulsive to not just a large swathe of the population, but many of the most brilliant people.

>>12174274
project more, NEET trash.

>>12171244
>what the FUCK does BERKELEY do to these men to completely destroy their modern will?
Maybe it's not about turning people to hate academia but about making them appreciate the wonderous world of mycology? Maybe they realized something about them that is passed down only as a mouth to mouth between the most enlightened in Berkeley?

>>12170520
You've got it backwards
Let stupidity win so it can learn its lesson and become less so

>Recreating Wakanda by promoting Black excellence in ecology and evolution

Modern academia is becoming increasingly historically and politically illiterate.

Btw - wtf happened lately that made /pol/ raid /sci/ so intensely?
