Summing up a long talk with my father ...
- The need for mathematicians is going down. What the world needs is physicists, engineers etc.
- c isn't a universal speed limit, "I don't belive that".
- Some other uneducated stuff about science, philosophy and what not.

It's official, I hereby declare myself to be the smartest person in my family (my brother being the error bar).
That was so batshit retarded I'm going to have a hard time believing I'm the offspring of such a dumbfuck.

I've had numerous arguments with my dad regarding dropping a tennis ball and a piano off of a building. He says they would both hit the ground at the same time. I say it would be pretty close, but they would only hit the ground at the same time in a vacuum, as you need to take air resistance into account. He says that's bullshit.

I tell him if what he says is true, if you drop a feather and piano off of a building, they should hit the ground at the same time. He says that it's obviously different. I tell him that a feather falls slowly because of air resistance, so he is pretty much conceding to my point.

He denies this, and stubbornly insist they'll hit at the same time.

Why don't you try not being an asshole, and explain why their wrong so they can get a deeper understanding? For example, one of my friends watched that New Age cartoon about the double-slit experiment, and asked me about it. I explained to all my friends that consciousness isn't the thing that causes wace functions to collapse, and how even though their portrayal of the experiment was right-ish, their conclusions weren't justified. I explained the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, how mass turns into waves, why photons have momentum, etc. We all came out with a deeper understanding and no one was angry or anything.

My parents are mostly good. We're a pro-science family, even if I'm the only atheist (rest of the family is Presbyterian Christian).

But my mom has a few things that she refuses to be even remotely rational about. These are mainly food things. She has gotten sucked into all this "ASPARTAME AND MSG ARE LETHAL POISONS" thing and thinks that the FDA is being bought off by the greedy food industry so that they won't blow the whistle on all these "toxins" and the companies can sell you food that addicts you even as it kills you.

My dad plays along, but he thinks it's just as insane as I think it is. She's the only one of my parents who took any significant number of science courses in college, yet seems to not realize that she's basing all of this shit on fallacious post-hoc-propter-hoc reasoning.

She has a pinched nerve in her neck that acts up occasionally and causes her discomfort, and she bought into this "aspartame and MSG are evil" kick after she stopped drinking diet soda and then apparently had considerably less neck discomfort. Placebo effect, anyone?

My father is not exactly stupid in a scientific manner. He is kind of interested in science, but he has no passion for it or for anything in life. He is all about money and he is not very good with it.
I study computer science. Yet he always wanted me to study business informatics or take business studies as a minor subject because "HURR DURR THATS WHERE THE MONIES IS". Now from time to time he tries to force some business shit on me. e.g. he said I should focus on SAP programming because apparently that's what computer science is all about. When I tell him that he is full of shit and doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about he just ignores it and continues spouting nonsense.

Apart from this, he is simply very stupid as a human being. He is unfriendly, intolerant, impatient, uncomprehending, stubborn and stiff like a brick. Maybe that would be OK if at least he was successful. Well, he isn't.
I don't understand how any man can live like that. I wouldn't be surprised if he jumps from a bridge one of these days. 'Luckily' I think he is too stubborn to notice how miserable his life is.

Also before anyone asks (implying any cares): Yes I really hate my dad. He messed up two thirds of my life and the only good thing he contributed to my upbringing was him leaving my mom and me when I was 17. In the exact same year I was freed from him my life took a huge turn for the better.
