/sci/ - Science & Math

>>7535794
This is bad why?

I don't want to be remembered. I would be perfectly content if nobody knows that I ever existed.

>>7535794
>My ego is not popped, because I am in the 1% of /sci/
Literally 99% of people who read this

I enjoy calling people gay on the internet, are you upset faggot?

Yep, those enormous egos sure are gonna get popped by some random post on 4chan

>>7535794
That's pretty edgy. Even that pepe is edgy.

The majority of you are also kissless virgins, so not only are most of you delusionally arrogant, but you're incredibly insecure too. The truth stings regardless of how it's delivered.

feel the burn

I feel like this board is filled with some deluded people. Let me spell it out: You're either doing research in one of the hard sciences or you are most likely doing an unintellectual stamp collecting job. There is no such thing as half an intellectual. Everybody is either a monkey pushing and pulling levers or an intellectual who designs the levers and whatever's under the metal. Nobody in the engineering industry, for example, is doing intellectual work.

The time to laugh at someone isn't if they're doing a monkey level job, it's when they are deluded about what they're doing. The laughable attributes of engineers are twofold. They think that they earn a lot of money and they think that they do intellectual work. The reality is that engineering students are mainly lower class people who have never heard of investment banking, management consultancy, they would never dream of entering politics (all of these are because they don't go to universities with good enough reputations, where these careers are marketed). So they go in to their careers thinking that anything with numbers is intellectual and that they're earning a lot ("because surely the guys who use number are getting paid a lot, right?").

This sort of narrow minded person doesn't do a lot of thinking about what society rewards. They don't do a lot of thinking about what career paths make money. They think that overcoming Calc 2 will lead to riches. The truth is that engineering is acknowledged as an industry with a low level of pay.

ITT: OP in denial about immense self hatred.

Go project somewhere else bby

Fuck off, I respect engineers more than money whores who ride connections and steal from the middle class in order to become rich. Not everyone's goal is just to accumulate wealth, and i would rather make 150k a year as a senior engineer than a million a year having spent my whole life sucking corporate dick and doing nothing intellectual in order to benefit from the twisted capitalism that is America.

This is coming from top10 gpa student at a top10 university, so you can fuck right off with your edge you salty community college cuck

I wanna become the best astronaut to live. If I cant join Ill do something like the movie Gattaca.

OP is totally right, the ego of /sci/ is off the charts considering nobody here has ever done anything noteworthy.

That's some tremendous samefagging.

>projection

I thought this was a science board.

>>7535869
No, OP accurately describes the overwhelming majority of /sci/.

friendly reminder that we're all just ensembles of particles existing in this bigger ensemble of more particles, simply increasing entropy as we partake in all of our meaningless activities relative to the universe

And here's #5

I just came out of a thread of some faggot bragging that he gets higher test scores than private school kids. Seriously who gives a fuck? Why does he think we give a fuck. Does the test he took even matter to humanity? Probably not. That's never really what really grinds my gears about this place, the manifestation of /sci/s huge ego that I hate the most is the constant attacking of the ideas of others. "hurr I know better than you" "hurr stop trying to achieve more than me" "hurr be a good sperg and regurgitate the book because I said so." We can't have any decent discussion of science here without someone screaming "deluded retard!" or "/x/!" if it goes against what some neckbeard claims to be master of but really only did one course on it in his first year of university

>>7535794
OP you do realize that you implicitly included yourself right?

>>7535885
OP is probably just stephen hawking

>>7535885
OP is projecting hardcore but he has a point.

>>7535881
My first time being accuse of same fagging for agreeing with OP! Most of /sci/ reads as freshmen that think they are hot shit because they can spout some bullshit that their peers think is brilliant.

>>7535794
I've lived most of my life as though I might not have a future.

What you see as arrogance I'd be apt to see as bluntly put ideas formed over a long period of time backed by error correction routines that have continually proven themselves to be superior. Shame it's so, but that's just the way it goes. The best hope for me is to reconcile my underlying disgust for people I see as having it easier in all the ways that matter, yet still display major deficits in even the most basic exchange. It's very tiring, and the best thing I ever did was dropping the focus on the idea that I might be the problem, and I might be the broken one. No.

I learn from other people and don't delusionally overstate what I have available, but if I'm really pushed into comparison, I'm not at all impressed with most people I meet. Doesn't matter what PhD they have to flash in my face as proof their opinions on fields they aren't even a part of are inherently valid.

You are part of the problem.

>>7535794
You are correct.

>>7535794
>There are some extremely arrogant people here with enormous egos that need popping.

pretty much

> I'm here to give you a cold dose of reality.

le redpill meme

>None of you will amount to anything special. You'll be average in your chosen field, if you're lucky. So tone down the arrogance, you haven't earned it. You can be arrogant when you've discovered something (not like that will ever happen), until then, keep your mouths shut losers.

you have redeemed yourself

>Good day.

and you dropped the ball again, why do you have to be like this OP? frickin frick

>>7535933
>why do you have to be like this OP?

>What is the universe, how does it actually work? Why are things what they are?
>He slips an age old question into a casual assessment of someone on the internet criticizing people who frequent an imageboard the average demographic of which is likely males 16-19.

I still think it's a grand deterministic machine.

>>7535794
>my thesis has been cited four times
>implying I'm not hot shit

>>7535794
I don't want to be the best, I just want to understand advanced shit.

>>7535945
You're cold, spiny shit. The kind that comes out full of crystalline structures.

>>7535836
Do you even realize that nothing he said contradicts what you think about engineers or other hard working people?
Your rage is a result of associating worth with money, which you do on a very deep level. There are people making more money and achieving more glory than any possible work they do is able to justify it.

Vanity of vanities; all is vanity...

>>7535794
I come to /sci/ to get humbled when my egometer fills up

But

All accomplishments mean jack shit because
A. Someone would have done it eventually
B. All life everywhere will eventually cease to exist.

but op, even if im average ill still be making bank. my ego is still inflated.
