Indeed m8. I'm an engineer too. Feels good to belong to the masterrace.

We even have a general at >>8354366

>kek nothing personal
Indeed.

Yes and if you're worth anything to society you will do the same
The invention of the written word is what caused humanity to be as successful as it is. Condensing years of knowledge into something others can learn in a few hours.

It took thousands of years to come up with the basics of mathematics, literature and science that children learn in schools over only a few years. The secret to the success of a species is not reinventing the wheel every day

You won't learn much in a few hours.

>>8354542
maybe you wont, but not all of us are brainlets

>>8354847
Very few people assimilate much in a few hours.
You're probably a CS undergrad with little experience in mathematics.

>>8354887
i'm a graduate student in mathematics

dont project your shortcomings onto others

nothing personnel kid

>>8355041
But millions of people have spent 40 minutes listening to his symphony.

That's how scientific progression works. Thousands have dedicated their entire lives to small fractions of what makes up our current understanding of the universe. If you can't take the baton humbly and with respect for those lives, then you don't belong in the field.

more people = more mass = time slows down
it basically the same time at the end

>>8355098
the point is it's much harder to write a symphony than to listen to it
