everyone in the west used to be for eugenics but then someone who also happened to be for eugenics did some bad things and now we're in full blown nightmare dygenics mode for reasons

Dedicating time to being smart isn't fun and doesn't get you laid or rich 99.9% of the time

>>9682946

>>9682953
he's right, experimental math is at best a hobby where you play the lottery and likely lose

>>9682850
Money is like energy or a tool, if your trade is worth it it will accumulate money with enough talent, effort, and sure luck, regardless. People are raised the other way around, to worship it as the end goal and the only reason to subsequently do anything.

>>9682946

nice rick and morty pseudointellect, at least its not xkcd or w\e its called

>>9683128
yeah, JUST PAY SHIPPING $9.99 and retards even post their full info in comments of the ad, truly a great civilization

>>9682850
You can think about getting money so that you can use that money to think more about science and math by acquiring the means to do so. There is no inherent contradiction with that. Also, charisma is unfortunately a component when dealing with people, even in academic fields.

>>9683125
ACCURATE

>>9683031
ALSO ACCURATE LOL

>>9683310
why would i burn my brain if 99% of normies have 0 respect for mathematics/science in general?

Someone's gotta do the shit labor. Like myself

>>9682877

same reason society was not pro-consumer but now it is. Manufactured consent of ideas for corporate profit. who the fuck is gunna buy all this shit if there are less people?

>>9682850
>Why is there so many dumb people?
Principle of least action. People will take the shortest (easiest) path to gratification. We are wired such that many gratifying experiences are useless shallow experiences.

>They refuse to accept anything science/math related as if it would break their dellusion of "money is everything"

Science and thinking are much harder than jacking off and watching day time dramas. Too much effort for most people


>>9682877
Eugenics is a retarded idea because kids do not end up like their parents. My parents are right wing morons who think climate change is a hoax and the earth is 6,000 years old and someday skyfairy is going to reward them for being white. Im in graduate school for bioinformatics.

>>9682946
True

>>9683031
This

>>9683125
Also kinda true. But it can be demonstrated that most people who think this are morons

Most people are actually a lot smarter than you think

>>9683760
>My parents are right wing morons
>Im in graduate school for bioinformatics

keep up the good work anon

>>9683764
i'm not so sure about that

but maybe to clarify

people aren't necessarily stupid, as they are short sighted, self centred, and apathetic

>>9683774
>self centered

>>9683760
>someday skyfairy is going to reward them for being white
Your parents sound fucking based you clod

>>9682850
you work so you can learn in comfort.
the easier it is for you, the more you want to work for it, the higher the goals are, the higher the bar is, and there's a bunch of people competing against you, and people will look up to those at the top regardless of how they got there. You can hold esteem in those who share your values, but will that truly make you happy, anon?

The University of Michigan's "Monitoring the Future" study of high school seniors (conducted continually since 1975) and the American Freshman survey, conducted by UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute of new college students since 1966, showed an increase in the proportion of students who consider wealth a very important attribute, from 45% for Baby Boomers (surveyed between 1967 and 1985) to 70% for Gen Xers, and 75% for millennials

you can also thank the recent market crash and the desperation of boomers who didn't think about actually having enough money to raise their kids
top that off with increasing social pressure to spend and show off your money, couple that to potentially not-as-fortunate childhood for reasons already mentioned, and you get people who's main priority is making money
next to that is also the issue that they see wealth as the only social measure of value to society, surely richer people are better, right? literally everyone sure as shit is trying to show us that daily anyway

tl;dr this >>9682946 a million times

>>9682850
Its part of the ideology you are in

Something something about pursuit of happiness

>>9683031
Holy shit why Im not making me rich

>>9683908
then go walk over iq 80 worms under you and be happy

>>9683764

>>9682946
Dedicating time to getting laid or rich isn't fun and won't get you smart 99.9% of the time.

Materialism is the core of our modern world. Falling for it doesn't mean you are stupid.

>They refuse to accept anything science/math related as if it would break their dellusion of "money is everything"..
And?
I refuse a lot of things to, this world is already too full of noise, you have to blend out a lot to be able to function.
Not everybody can and should care about this stuff.

nothing you said makes sense whatsoever,falling for it does make you stupid, because without knowledge you are unable to use any of those ((( precious ))) material stuff you bought to even 1% of their potential, desu i think you are just a brainlet cuck

none of them is right, its a picture of wagecuck who justify their miserable slavery.

>>9686656
>falling for it does make you stupid
You are following mainstream culture, that isn't stupid that is normal.

>because without knowledge you are unable to use any of those ((( precious ))) material stuff you bought to even 1% of their potential
Yeah, but you can still shitpost on facebook and twitter.
Materialism doesn't imply using your materials correctly.

> think you are just a brainlet cuck
Since you are an obvious /pol/ack that it is probably you who is the brainlet.

>none of them is right, its a picture of wagecuck who justify their miserable slavery.
Yes, every single one of them is right and yes it is drawn by someone pretending his own slavery isn't real, while failing to see that he like everyone else is trapped.

i dont browse /pol/, but it seems like you browse /lit/ to larp as "intellectual", again nothing you said makes sense to anyone with IQ over 130, too bad you are stuck at 115 and need normies to validate your intelligence, oh well

>>9686681
>i dont browse /pol/
(((Okay)))

>but it seems like you browse /lit/ to larp as "intellectual"
No.

>again nothing you said makes sense to anyone with IQ over 130
Yes, 150 is the required IQ to comprehend it.

No, this isn't reddit spacing. You reddit space if you are just writing text and not responding to someones arguments one by one.

>>capitalizing

I had genuinely hoped that you would provide some meaningful input into my well thought out comment on this thread, but it appears you are just another retard.

Because that's who our government subsidizes and encourages to have the most children.

> being such a braindead atheist that thinks the god of christianity is a "sky fairy" or corporeal at all

>>9682850
Because you have a biased view on people and a ((way) too) high option of yourself.

>>9691143
Most christians are not theological scholars when they think of heaven they're imaging a guy with a big white beard and sandals who is gonna give them wings and let them hang out with their dead pets.

You're delusional if you think most christians are reading st. Augustine or some shit

>>9683774
>people aren't necessarily stupid, as they are short sighted, self centred, and apathetic
That's called being stupid in my book. Clever people make realistic long term plans and realize that their behavior toward others directly impacts their success in life.

Just look at prison populations. Aside from the crazies most of them are dumb as bricks and, while this may have manifested itself as poor academic performance early in life, later in life it has manifested itself as the inability to appreciate the consequences of their actions or plan beyond the next coke line.

>Why is there so many dumb people?
Why wouldn't there be so many dumb people? You don't need to be a genius to successfully reproduce and intelligence isn't a wholly positive trait, although it's probably the best trait there's a plethora of other traits worth having as well.
>they are so blinded for money and burning out their life with enjoyment.
Those are the things that motivate everyone, even you. You might argue that your efforts are to save the poor - but that's still being blinded by money, it's just money for someone else - or to better humanity - but that's still burning life out with enjoyment, just someone else's instead of yours. Aren't you the intelligent one? How do you not know this?
>They refuse to accept anything science/math related
They're biologically incapable of doing anything with that knowledge.
>as if it would break their dellusion of "money is everything"..
Is value everything? Money is our avatar of value. It's not like money is some fifth column eating away at human beings' conceptions of value, it's our physical representation of VALUE ITSELF. If I have a blanket, and you need a blanket, and you have insulin, and I need insulin, we could just trade one for one, but one of us has something significantly more valuable than the other and that's not really fair. You could just let me die of diabetes and then come steal my blanket - that'd be the smart thing to do - or I could give you the sunglasses plus the value of insulin minus the value of sunglasses. Well, how am I going to represent that remainder? With something everyone else will agree on as having a definite value. Does it actually? Yeah, as long as we say it does. That's the point.

I don't think you're intelligent. I think you just think science/math is cool.

>>9692147
>sunglasses
Woops.

>>9682967
Not really. If you want to be a successful researcher with your degree, yes, but there are tons of other job opportunities with a PhD in math.

Literally everyone from my PhD program has some kind of STEM job or finance job by graduation.

You guys dont understand genetics or biotechnology

Most people are fat, unhealthy and don't care about education.
Is it really surprising that most people don't want to better themselves mentally?

Science is fascinating but at some point you'll satisfy your curiosity for everything you are even remotely interested in.

Then you'll realize all that is left with meaning is money and spreading your genetics. Then you die.

>>9692434
>Spreading your genetics
Then I would just donate sperm and win the evolutionary lottery.

>>9692434
Unless you're an honest anti-natalist and cannot morally justify spreading your genetics.

>>9685737
What happens when you're 100? You can't live forever because you'll be dying in every Universe, maybe as the days go on the number of possible Universes decreases until you reach that ripe old age where you're meant to go. But how is that finite number decided in the first place?

if you try to change the world you're going to have a bad time. change yourself first.
