/sci/ - Science & Math

You still have to pay taxes.

Quite clearly, studying anything other than sucking my dick is a waste of this woman's time.

I wouldn't know, I don't confront people on a daily basis and ask them why they aren't doing the things I think everyone should do

It never hurts to know it. If nothing else it will help you build useful analytical skill which can be applied many places.

You're right. You don't need to learn algebra.

I ask her/him in what way would that bring benefits to humanity.
S(he) starts saying a lot of crap about creativity and clothing styles.
I start laughing and go away thinking that there are a lot of people wasting their lifes on things that don't have any significant impact for the humanity.

Because being able to think algebraically is useful in many aspects of life.

Who the fuck cares about the collective good?

I sure know I fucking don't, and I wouldn't be studying a physical science if I didn't have a passion for it.

>90% of american adults above the age of 30 don't remember how to work simple algebraic equations

Sure sounds essential to me.

>>2627119
>85% of all statistics are made up

>>2627114

But I do.

>>2627119
Sauce? I always wonder when people claim that x% of american youth can't point out the USA on a world map etc. Can't seem to find source.

>>2627133
That's because you're an irrational faggot.

There is no logical basis for self-sacrifice, and that's exactly what entering a field you dislike is.

When the glorious technocratic revolution comes, there will be no more fashion. It will be seen for what it is, a stain that serves no purpose other than to separate classes of people.

So, if you want to survive, you'll need to be able to add numbers, you dumb cunt.

>>2627142

Unless you value a social standard (one which would require you to enter a field you dislike) highly

You don't.

>>2627150
>there will be no more fashion

>>2627154
You're still denying yourself pleasure without direct benefits.

How do you expect to ever get a man if you can't even solve a quadratic equation?

>>2627164

being accepted by society is a huge benefit

>>2627172
>thinks being an egghead scientist doing stuff most people can't comprehend means you're accepted

Try acting or sports if that's what you're after.

>>2627180

I never even said scientist, I was speaking in general terms

>>2627204
In general terms, it's only worth it if the amount of pleasure gained by acceptance requires less effort and generates more pleasure than the alternatives.

>90% of americans make up the lower/lower-middle class.

Guess it isn't if that's the life you want.

>>2627142

>irrational faggot
>thinks about whats better for humanity

You sure have a problem.

>>2627233
>because everybody knows attractive women need to have a good grasp of math to marry some rich dude
In that situation, I'm pretty sure the equation is attractiveness = looks(money^3)

>>2627240
Why should someone care what happens after they're dead? Not like I'll be around to care. Make life as good for myself as I can. Let someone else pick up the tab.

Best part is there are always plenty of idealistic faggots like yourself who get off with self-sacrifice, which means all the more fun for me.

>no one questioned the studying of fashion

>>2627160

Remember that Wendy's commercial that spoofs the Soviet Union? Like that. But for real.

IMO it's like studying any art. You can study the history of it, or apply it to whatever you want, from being a modern fashion designer to making period costumes for movies to designing armor for the military. Not the most difficult major but if it's what you like, then yeah.

>>2627293
What's hilarious is that looks a lot like I did in high school, except I have curly hair and I'm a lot better looking.

>>2627257

Oh yeah, you are totally right. Leave the tab to someone else, you are too stupid to do it. Carry on son.

>Leave the tab to someone else, you are too stupid to do it.
>do the tab
Nice english.

So...what have you done for humanity lately?
