/sci/ - Science & Math

>>16049564
Hmm, i see. But what is your IQ?

You can always argue about antigravity soft quartz or geopolymer cement

No, it's kurisushit. At least post Maho.

>>16049564
/sci/ is dead, anon.
We never had a great period, but it's been intolerable for four years now.

>>16049755
I thought it was alright before like 2016
But that applies to most boards

>>16049564
Those threads sound comfy af ngl.

>>16049564
I.... I just wanna RIP those stockings OFF.... and SKULLFUCK and CUM all over her FUCKiNG FACE... I FUCKING wanna FUCKING ruin her so FUCKING badly... I just *panting*... Wanna SHOVE my seed INJECTORS into... *Ugh* her ~queef~hole and... *rapid breathing*
cums.

>>16049564 to clarify those threads about climate change are not about how to mitigate it auch as if meat taxes are a good idea but 'it's hoax' trolling distraction; and the nootropics threads are about mentioning random shizo meds rather than actual nootropics and related discussion such as issues with them

I think we need a few days per month where we all try to post new quality threads. At these days we join forces to sage out ahitty threads and set up new ones with substance.

I was pretty active on /sci/ but left around the time I finished my thesis, that was late 2019, early 2020.
I come back here occasionally and am baffled every time how low this place has fallen. I wasn't here to see it, but I assume it all started with COVID bringing a bunch of retards here.
Luckily it's not a board I care about, but I think the same is happening with /k/ and the Ukraine war right now, that board much like this one will probably never recover.

>>16049564
Most of those are incredibly interesting threads. Have you considered how they would be discussed by quality anons? See the contents of these books for what IQ threads could be if they weren't discussed by mentally ill losers.

>consciousness
And the search for neural correlates of consciousness is practically a scientific detective thriller with the complexity and ethical constraints. Get anons who aren't retarded: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.23.546249v1

Dysgenics, you forgot dysgenics. If we continue to have our present breeding patterns inferior traits will be selected for, increasing these detrimental traits in the population. Eventually this will lead to civilizational collapse.

>>16049850
Yeah, that's great. But how do i increase my IQ though?

>>16049564
The problem is always going to be one of incentives. I'm not going to, except by accident, post an interesting idea because an interesting idea to me is one that is pushing boundaries where I can't find literature exploring what I'm currently thinking about. Reason for that should be self evident, as if I do so I do not benefit from the products of my labor mentally or otherwise.

There are quite a few times I get new ideas, and I have quite a mound of notes that are sometimes found to be reinventing the wheel and other times withstand testing and appear to be unique just waiting for sufficient development. If I were to post "interesting content" by my standard I'd only be screwing myself over, and so the only truly interesting posts by my own metric are posts made inadvertently pushing boundaries and screwing over the post author.

So the incentive is, at most, only posting what amounts to literature reviews and explaining science. Or screw up and screw yourself out of benefiting from your own effort.

Well /sci/?

By thinking about
[math]
\sum_{i = 1}^{\infty} i = - \frac{1}{12}
[/math]
for a bit

>>16049850
any alternatives? places with a similar spirit to how things were?
i hate how a lot of the higher quality discussion has receded into walled discord servers, where you need to have a motherfucking phone number tied to it

>make a thread about a topic I'm interested in?
>nah I'll just make a thread to complain

>muh bootstraps
kys

I like the thread where Anonymous speculates - scientifically - about Michelle Obama's cock.

Because "Science and Math" is too vague and not approachable for midwits (99% of 4chinners)

I'm an expert on calculus. Ask me anything.

>>16049564
>MFW you will never be cute scientist girl.
Why'd I have to be born so retarded bros?

>>16049564
They should add board specific captchas, with one that serves math problems on at least university level here.
Would probably filter >90% of the current /sci/ tourists

>>16051050
The most prolific shitposters on /sci/ have degrees in math and physics.

>>16051206
>got a degree in theoretical mathematics
>theoretically have 300k starting
>spend all day shitposting
*sip* yep, that's the life for me.

/sci/ is complete garbage right now so just go to some other place like mathchan or reddit (unironically)

Did you get your latest covid booster? Oh, why not?

>>16051439
>waaah!!!! I don't like the topics that other people are interested in and are of significant importance to the state of science right now!!!! WAAAAAHHHH!!!! I'm going back to me reddit echochamber where I don't have to deal with my opinions and worldview being challanged

>>16049850
>Covid bringing a lot of retards here
Did you get your latest covid booster shot, anon? Oh, why not? You're not some kind of antivaxxer, are you?

>>16051445
Stfu pseud.There is no valuable discourse on /sci/, it's mostly just normies arguing due to their own ignorance and the occasional schizobabble. But nootropics are cool.

>>16051459
How many covid shots did you get? That'll determine where you fall on the normie spectrum, friend.

>>16051468
The question is not how many you have taken, but how many more you are willing to take to live in a safe world. A jab against covid is a positive refusal to embrace antisemitic conspiracies.

>>16051487
So how many jabs have you taken so far, and how many more do you intend to take?
