/sci/ - Science & Math

[Anonymous No.3552634]

Hey /sci/ since I am an isolationist loner who has no friends and spend most of my time on the internet and making money trading socks and shares, I thought I'd have a crack at learning some shiz.

The internet is obviously the tool for teaching of the future, but archaic education systems still require children and adults to attend inefficient seminars/classes which at at most times, a waste. The only benefit is social interaction with peers and oversight from a teacher. You can learn everything and more, better, from textbooks/sources.

That aside, I have taught myself quite a few skills over the years simply from the internet. I passes college with an A in physics and mechanics applied, B in futher (decision maths) A in math and A in (lol) geography.

I never found the thought of working for someone else, making them more money than I get paid myself, appealing, so I used my teenage knowledge of economics, market analysis and general intelligence to make a good income on the markets.

Protip: MSM is not a good place to get your ''technical'' information as they are usually heavily biased to some policy or another, namely fiscal security of America.

Here are a few things I have taught myself from the internet.

Most military codes, callsigns, morse, signals e.c.t
How to cook.
How to fix my car mechanically in most circumstances.
Ancient history of quite a few cultures.
Religions (note, I only taught myself about these simply because I wanted to understand the religious view, even when I did, I found it fully moronic to subscribe to these religions)
metalwork
Psychology
medicinal methods
how to farm
they're jsut the ones I can recall.

I evntually want to re-learn latin and several otehr languages. I also want to teach myself a much more substantial knowledge of physics (astro, theoretical and post-college quantum)

I am making this thread to request suggestions for what else I can teach myself which would be interesting, useful or simply insightful.

History of mathematics will help you understand how math developed to what it is today.

[Anonymous No.3552668]

>>3552650
Why would you want to learn about ancient cultures? The history of mathematics is the story of the evolution of mankind's relationship with their logical minds.

It also provides insights into where various problems and fields came from, showing you different ways that to interpret them, what they "mean", and why they're significant.

I would lrn2 chemistry. I would think that it would be useful to synthesize compounds for personal use. This is all assuming that the right equipment and resources could be acquired.

Btw you sound a lot like myself. How did you get into stocks? I've been thinking about trying it out recently. I mean like how did you start off.

If you mean sub saharan african blacks, I haven't studied them.
Egyptians however, were a very advanced culture that attributed much to the development of the middle east.
Although they seem to be much more interesting in ancient history/medeival, since modern day arabs and africans are pretty much a waste, not counting saudi arabia.

I see your point I guess.
Religion is one of the more useful things I've learned. It allows me to crush the pitifully weak arguments of those who spew religion.

I think that having social schooling is way more beneficial to producing healthy people not just smart people. Of course you would learn more on your own, because you're doing so out of your own free will.

It was the MSM newsfeeds that got me into it. I really wanted to understand what all those letters and numbers meant going across the screen were (when I was 12)

When I found out, I realised the ammount of money that could e made, So when I was 14 I saved up £500 and had my dad open an account for me. In my naivety I paid attention to the news pundits on MSM and thought their view were rational, which proved to be my downfall.

I tried again one year later with another £500, using my own intuition and research, by the end of the week I had made over 2 grand.
I traded now and then with varying results (when I needed cash) I only really got into it when I was 18 and started doing it ''fulltime''
Makes me good money actually, I work when I want, from home or wherever and it requires little work.

[Anonymous No.3552750]

>>3552714
Yeah, I see that beneficial point of view, but I also see the flipside.
School socialising is very heirachal and creates a natural basline for society to develop on. Namely, those who form the best ''groups'' survive by demeaning lower groups. You are taught a certain way to think and a certain way to react to other people.

I know it's beneficial, but its all very... eugenical in a way.
Online schooling would be much more concentrated and efficient, as class disturbances and distractions would be eliminated. This would vastly reduce the time needed to ''school'' and would also allow athe child to develop his own interests of what he would like to learn.

(schools intentionally mould the options children can take to fit into timetables and allocation slots, striving for the best ''school'' result. Ignoring an individual's needs to an extent.

This shorter schooling time would allow more sociable time and would eliminate the ''militaristic'' ritual of being ''forced'' to go to school.

in japan, early school years exist solely for the purpose of socialization. it is expected that math, writing, grammar, etc will be taught by the kids mothers.

the schools are so adamant about giving the students a realistic socialization opportunity that they let different grades mingle with each other and take care of themselves. the teachers don't step in even in cases of bullying unless it's actually violent (hence accidental tragedies like nevada-tan happen).

amazingly, the system seems to work. a micro society exists in a japanese preschool where older kids guide and take care of the younger kids. it's actually incredibly inspiring and amazing to watch.

give me that over a highly regimented chinese school or a confrontantional american school any day.

>Most military codes, callsigns, morse, signals e.c.t

you are such a retarded liar

i have been in the army.

>codes

you are obviously talking out of your arse here. what the fuck do you mean by codes? the military has no "codes" for fucks sake. every "code" is specific for an ad hoc purpose, it would be pointless to know any of them unless you administer them directly in your work.

>callsigns

for fucks sake. callsigns are not generic, they are specific, like a name. it is not a general nomenclature device. learning them would be even more pointless than "codes" because they change every other year and are different for every aspect of the army and even between armies.

>morse

big whoop.

>signals

i assume you mean the proper authetication protocols or possibly how to operate a signal set
WHY? This is useless knowledge to anyone outside of the army. especially since authentication protocols are SPECIFIC to a unit or detachment. the standard operating procedures are also worthless to know unless you are actually in the army.

fuck man

you just wanted to make yourself sound smart pretending to know professional knowledge, youre a retard, go suck a dick.

Meh, I got an A- at GCSE and didn't take english to college.
If I was writing an essay I would have evidently provided a much more detailed and careful approach to narration.

A couple of the spelling mistakes are typoes. My physics course (regular) had an option for applied further mechanics that was a summer project. It Isnt enough for an A level but counts towards an extended physics grade.

The claim of inefficient schooling comes from personal experience.
Watching MSNBC or Bloomberg for 30 minutes (or simply listening to cramer) will give you evident proof that MSM sources are biased towards american investment, showing clear disregard for authority for the chinese, asian and some European investments and attributes.

Oh, how the meek wept under the weight of such fragile minds. Intelligent in point, though lost in voice. They speak and are not heard. The devise and extort imformation inapparent. They think and are not thought of. They seek and find. But the warmth of belonging are are far beyond their sights. Strange how they loathe what they do not understand, yet criticize those who loathe what they do not understand. The human mind is a circle and ignorance is never far behind intelligence.

practice with trading demos. I reccoment GFTUK spread betting.

Learn all the jargon. Learn to call people out who are bullshitting (CEO interviews e.c.t)
Learn the tricks governments use to make their numbers look ''rosy''
learn technicval analysis.
you also need to learn to pretend the money you are risking is not yours, otherwise you sweat bullets and make stupid emotional decisions.

if you are day trading in high volatility NEVER leave the desk, not even to piss. I did this once and managed to be £800 by the time I had finished pissing.
