/sci/ - Science & Math

[Anonymous No.4770486]

Seriously though, the normalfaggotry here is just trite on a sandwich, this board was a lot better when they stayed on /b/ and /r9k/ and /soc/ and what not.

Guys... just go... you're not welcomed here. We need a place for just us, without your petty, normal, social bullshit that plagues up the rest of the internet. And we did find one, this place, until you guys slowly migrated in and cancerified it beyond what is reasonable to look at. Just go, you just ruin shit for the rest of us. And also since you're normalfags with "healthy" social lives, I highly doubt you are anywhere near smart enough to tackle science and mathematics, and the posts here since your migration has done nothing but prove that hunch of mine. So go, and leave this place for the true intellectuals, something your social lives give too little room for.

I agree with them all except the community college one.

This doesn't mean I attend a community college. I actually attend one of the best universities in my country (Australia). It's just very elitist to think that just because someone is only starting their education, they shouldn't be discussing science.

All the other points are valid.

>Most scientists have social lives OP.
That's a fallacy most college freshman assume right off the bat. Science, professionally, is a highly time-consuming and demanding job that most working in it will rarely be able to find even time for themselves, often only finding it much later in their careers, most likely old enough then to retire. Most professional scientists with noticeable social lives are often looked at as slackers who aren't serious about their work, and so easily fall behind on their research and projects than others on whatever team they were hired in. Hell, even people in the medical field sometimes barely find time to fix themselves up in the morning.

No, you just dictate and provide a model, and they do the rest of the work to verify and actually prove it's correct or not. They're your ghost writers producing your 1400 page novel, and you're just slipping them in ideas now and then, and taking credit for their work.

But yeah, often lead researchers do literally fuck all for research progress. I was in a research meeting for the ****** group, and they all but outright said "how many more years can we drag this question out and continue to get grants for it?", the most disgusting group of do-nothing fucks I've ever met.

In somewhat more privatized science, they're a little too (in my opinion) focused on monetizing everything, but my lead and myself and the entire group all work hard to keep asking and answering relevant questions, and our lead isn't too good to do bench work too.

Fuck uppity "scientists". Much love for the true scientists out there.

You could say the same about absolutely any profession whatsoever. If you fail to upkeep a social life because of your work, you're not good at your work. I'm not saying there aren't times when I'm snowed under, but if science excluded socialisation, no one would do science.

/sci/ is for discussing why your planned major in physics or math is superior, despite your lack of high-school diploma, college acceptance, or declared major.

I see what you're trying to say, and you're right to some degree. However I will post if I have a question on a math/science topic.

[Anonymous No.4772773]

You're all such faggots. None of those qualifications mean anything. I'm not even defending the high schoolers/women/community college students/etc. on the board because I realize that the vast majority of them are mentally retarded in comparison to those who actually have meaningful things to say on this board. However, qualifications in the world are not always reliable indicators of much of anything. Attending MIT doesn't make you a genius. It means you were lucky enough to make it through the admission process. Are you probably pretty fucking intelligent if you were able to achieve that? Hell yeah, but there aren't any guarantees. Thus, I deduce that having a social life, being a woman, going to parties, attending community college, etc. does not really prove anything as far as one's knowledge of math and/or science. Personally, only one item on the list applies to me, and you can enjoy yourselves pondering which one, but I've a very good understanding of a variety of fields of science and some higher level maths. Thus, this post should read "if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about," which we've all seen (e.g. "Never taken physics, but how do I calculate momentum after an elastic collision? Herp derp"), then gtfo. I'm sure everyone will have fun bitching about how much of a fag I am and the enormity of their e-penises, but I shan't be checking this thread, so have at it!
