I feel like shit. I paid real money from my own bank account to get a place in this colloqium because my Student ID isn't recognized by the math department yet. We have to do group talks in the afternoon for discussions and I really don't know what to do.

I mean people will forget it. Actually no, because it's so fucked up they won't, but anyway that's no reason to be afraid to talk to your peers anon. Just act like it never heppened and they probably don't even know who said it anyway. I, for one, always have trouble keeping track of who is who in those online things. But even if anyone brings it up again just say the truth that you were joking, you were joking r-right anon? Anyway try to make friends and think that what happened was awkward but it is even more awkward to dissapear after that. The only way to save whats left is to go back and hang out with them. Don't let your efforts and dreams go to waste for fear of how others see you, it's actually very hard to get people to dislike you (unless you are trying to make them like you). Oh and learn how to save those situations to avoid them in the future, it's preatty simple, usually a laugh would be good followed by "sorry I wasn't being serious". Anyway good luck with your studies, and don't let anything bring you down anon!

Hawking, Feynman, Einstein. In literally any good biography/diary/memoir this is briefly mentioned though often euphemistically. Feynman's auto-bio mentions "foregoing addressing certain basic bodily functions". The kind of demands very taxing problems place on you disqualify someone who will break concentration for something relatively far less important.

My record is working 51 hours on a problem with 1 hour of "sleep" im between. Even in hyperfocus, your body sends you signals that will make you go to the toilet (albeit at the latest possible time). You notice it, run to the toilet, shit, get back to work.
You're only trying to get people to admit they shit themselves to laugh at their stupidity.

> Reacht the crux of the problem and, through some sublime illumination, cut right through the theory and find yourself at gazing at the solution.

Dont worry brother, all these other uppity cunts are only half men, because they are too insecure to admit their mistakes. Perhaps their minds went to the worst place and imagined you working through the shat in pants, which would be odious, but what you describe friend-that happens to the best of us.
