/sci/ - Science & Math

Yes

>>5630074
Not at all. Most scientists are illiterate actually...

What the fuck are ghost writers for

Have you ever tried to write a convincing grant application?

what's the point of discovering something and not being capable of explaining it?

good writing skills are beneficial to everyone

>>5630074

It's easier to be taken seriously when you can actually write something.

>>5630137
no they aint
what about a builder?
or a lumberjack?
or a dancer?

they dont have to write anything

>>5630207

Beneficial... not necessary.

I love you so hard, EK.

>>5630211
not really even 'beneficial' unless the specific lumberjack writes poetry or some shit, during their spare time.

luv u 2, hun =p

>>5630207
sp none of these people ever have to write to anyone? never have to send out advers, or CVs, or personal letters?

>>5630216
Lumberjacks and builders are still citizens. They will have to deal with insurances, landlords, public authorities, banks etc. That means they have to be capable of expressing themselves in written language in a coherent and comprehensible manner.

>>5630220
> sp none of these people ever have to write to anyone?
this specific lumberjack uses a mobile phone. quicker. more efficient. no need to ever write.

>never have to send out advers, or CVs
nope, permanent job as a lumberjack

>personal letters?
nope
just phone calls

>>5630216

A lumberjack that sub-contracts other lumberjacks will make more money than a guy that says "I'm happy just wielding a chainsaw." Again.. it is not NECESSARY for him to do this, qua lumberjackery.. but it would be BENEFICIAL if he wanted to move up in the world.

Are we just arguing to hear my head rattle?

>>5630221
maybe he just gets one of his mates to write that shit?

and you can still just put a big X as a signature, rite?

>>5630227
ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

>>5630227
>this specific lumberjack uses a mobile phone. quicker. more efficient. no need to ever write.

Are you talking about yourself? Are you a lumberjack?

>>5630074
no but generally the best will have a good command of their language for writing papers.

>>5630232

Are you sure you uses 'qua' correctly?

>>5630241

I can see you from where I am sitting! I will kill you!!!

>>5630232
>Are we just arguing to hear my head rattle?
dunno
w/e, fine, beneficial i guess (since when is ANY skill not beneficial?)

me learning mandarin aint exactly gonna disadvantage me, so i guess it would be 'beneficial'

but im still not gonna

>>5630246

I approve of you not learning Mandarin.

I recommend Korean.

>>5630237
course im fucking not, just a hypothetical

(i'd probably make a damn good lumberjack, FYI)

>>5630247
why korean?

>>5630231
That's why we said it would be "beneficial" to have writing skills. If he has to rely on a mate because he's illiterate, the mate can trick him into giving him all his money and shit like that.

Yes, you need to be a good writer.

>>5630250
>i'd probably make a damn good lumberjack
lelz. nothing sexyer than a girl who thinks she can be a luberjack.

>>5630251

Because I keep hearing how Transhumanist Koreans are going to soon rule the world. I'm not sure this is going to happen, but maybe we should prepare.

>>5630252
>mate
>'trick him into giving him all his money and shit'

pick one
real mates dont do that shit

well, guise... have we thoroughly derailed this thread yet?

>>5630256
dont be so fucking sexist!
the chainsaw does all the fucking work anyway. you dont even need muscles (not in modern times anyway, back 100's of years ago, maybe)

>>5630260
>2013
>being that naive and gullible

I shiggly diggly doo bop wop a doo wop.

>>5630262
>we
you mean EK

>>5630257
koreans are too fucking busy squaring up to each other over the boarder (and blasting shitty korean K-pop over loudspeakers just to piss off the other side...not even joking, that actually happened)
if they cant even sort out their own fucking immature squabbling, how the fuck do you think they can rule the world??

>>5630265
top lel

I see you know just as much about cutting timber as you know about zoology, i.e. nothing.

>>5630265
you never even touched a chainsaw, have you?

>>5630279

I have. They are dangerous.

>>5630275
what's to know?
start up chainsaw, use on tree, tree falls down
it's pretty straight-forward

>>5630279
no, but they aint even illegal; i could totally just buy one if i wanted

>>5630282
just. just stop.

>>5630280
[sarcasm] really? chainsaws are dangerous?? well, i for one find that pretty damn surprising [/sarcasm]

>>5630282
EK, why don't we meet up IRL and play a little bit with a chainsaw? I'm sure that could be a lot of fun!

>>5630293
ooh, that sounds like a great idea!

oh no, wait, ah yeh, sorry, i just remembered i did actually watch texas chainsaw massacre

You are going to have to explain what you find eventually.

You either better be good at writing what you mean, or an amazing orator capable of giving enough stunning lectures and talks that you can become world famous and other people can write down everything for you

Guess which one of those is easier to do.

If you can't explain your thoughts and ideas logically through writing, what chance does someone else have?

>>5630274
>immature squabbling

No squabbling. South Korea is going about their daily lives as usual.

It's the North that's doing all this sabre rattling and threatening. It's like the kid in school trynig to draw attention to himself by shouting at everyone.

>>5630312
>No squabbling. South Korea is going about their daily lives as usual.
oh really? and what is best korea doing in the meantime?

>>5630282
Dude, you forgot the f*cking "TIMBER!!" >:(
Never forget that magic word, you could save people's lives with that word. Trust me, I'm a duck.

>>5630329
>f*cking

>censoring swears on 4chan
>ISHYGDDT

>>5630074
They're beneficial for any human being, but not necessary. Writing skills do not directly make you survive.

>>5630329
Watch how you type, boi.

Well NOW this thread is derailed!

I feel so proud.
