At my school it's considered to be GPA suicide. They typically don't let math majors schedule all their Liberal Arts classes in the first couple semesters so they can have GPA padding after 6 or 7 semesters. Sucks for me, since I have all my LA stuff done because of AP credits.

Because there's a stigma associated with hating sociology while it's considered well acceptable to hate math.

When you begin asking "why" it's opening pandoras box and you get a conversation about how they swallowed a cooler magnet as a kid and got beaten by their math teacher and stabbed themselves with a triangle and got lied to by statistics. And therefore it's legitimate to hate math. And if you pursue the argument you get into self deprecation.

Don't get me wrong. I don't mind ignorance. My best friends are all ignorant of things I know a lot about; and I'm ignorant of a lot of things that they know a lot about.

The difference, as far as my girlfriend was concerned, is that there was literally nothing she knew about that I didn't. Nothing. The Venn diagram of "things I know" and "things she knows" would be a giant circle, with a tiny circle inside of it.

I did not suggest otherwise.

The difference is merely that, before that moment, I thought that I could be in a relationship with anyone. That all I had to do was give them sex, and they would give me love in return. Then I realized that, while I desire to be loved, I do not desire to be loved by someone that I cannot love in return. And I cannot love someone as stupid as she.

You're a sociopath, or just really foolish. Also, sex /= love.

You weren't compatible, whoopdie-doo. That doesn't mean nobody else is.

For you and I, sure. But most people cannot be in love without sex (or at least the promise of it), or have sex without love. The two are inseparable concepts for the majority of humans, for evolutionary reasons.

>You weren't compatible, whoopdie-doo. That doesn't mean nobody else is.

The conclusion that I came to was that very few if any people that I ever meet will be compatable enough with me that I will want to stay with them. The person whom I would be most satisfied with would be essentially a person just like me – disinclined to strong emotion, interested in math and science, and uninterested in sex.

Sex can be worked on, love can't be forced or directed.
I've always fucked on the first date, to be perfectly honest, but the sex wasn't what kept me in the relationship. It's the kinship and the warmth. You needn't have sex at all. Any sexual quirk, measure of desire or drive or kink is just another attribute attributed to you, that can easily be attributed to ANYONE.

I happen to be enthused by an arms-length list of things, which I found in one person. LUCK.

YOU ARE NOT THAT SPECIAL. IT IS JUST AS HARD FOR YOU TO FIND SOMEONE AS ANYBODY ELSE. PERIOD. What you have said here is a cop out excuse, a whinge, a big woe is me, 'I'm so misunderstood'. No. Grow up.

That's the excuse that every angsty teen uses, you seem to think yourself better than that. Behave like it.

I have anecdotes and evidence up the arse about this, from my own personal experiences and outside them. Meeting 'the one' will just be a consequence of WHATEVER you do with your life, at no per-determined, possibly random time, factoring in your capacity for wit, tact, honesty and delivery. Whatever's up to you will improve with experience, but isn't even necessary.

It's a matter of chance and gall, whomever you are.

You make out you are so unique in personality, taste and interest, that's why you think you won't succeed in finding a partner. You're thinking like a pre-teen.

If you'd but look, you'd find plenty of people suitable. To know, you'd have to really 'know' everyone before you could dismiss their compatibility. Even the unlikely candidate is potentially perfect.

>Different people have differing levels of difficulty in finding a compatible relationship partner... reality.

There is no other factors other than chance. Right place, right time, right person.

There are no 'normal' people. Nobody is really unique in the sense that everybody, as a sum, has a unique set of quirks. And there's many, MANY people, all with wildly varying sets of things in-common.

Everybody finds it just as hard to have a truly meaningful relationship. There are very many people out there, and few outwardly display their true nature.

The different levels of 'difficulty' perceived is just a self-confidence/egotistical issue. If you think you are 'unique', 'misunderstood' or 'bad at relationships' it's just ego. You've seen the success of others, or have some perception or idea of what's 'typical' to success and despair that you haven't got what you want yet. As time passes, you think less of yourself. That's foolish.

I don't mean sex, I don't mean relationship, I mean meaningful relationship. You can have a lot of a relationships, you can have few, nothing promises happiness.

[Anonymous No.5062653]

>>5062547
If you think you can go out with an agenda to find someone for that purpose, and directly achieve that by solely your own means, you are foolish.

It's luck and chance. You can make it easier, possibly, but not necessarily improve your chances by boosting your confidence with skills and experience, but that's just a mental thing.

Having greater difficulty than someone else in this is an illusion. Something you say to make yourself feel better. The truth makes you feel best if you can accept that your chance is random, and you cannot truly control when and/or if it will happen.

The playing field is actually level. If you think otherwise, you're just making excuses, and disparaging and ill perceived.

no, you're just giving different meanings to basically equal statements. YOLO uses the fact that life is finite to basically say you should make the best of each day.

I disagree. Different people have different demands and desires from a relationship. Some people's demands and desires are difficult for many people to fulfill; other people's demands and desires are easy for many people to fulfill. One person may desire only sex and basic conversation from a relationship; he or she will be compatable with many people, and will have little difficulty finding a partner who satisfies those desires. Another person may desire zero sex, and extremely in-depth conversation concerning subjects that both partners are intimately familiar with; he or she will be compatable with very few people, and will have much difficulty finding a partner who satisfies those desires.

He might have attributes compatible, but many other factors might prevent him. Location, appearance, competitor, actual 'other people', etc etc etc. There's a plethora of factors to consider. The individual will just be lucky, his desires and demands are just one factor.

Alright. I can't argue with that. All I can say is that I am the sort of individual who goes through life with the philosophy that pursuits primarily requiring luck should be avoided, and pursuits primarily requiring skill should be adopted.

I should also clarify that I am not angsty about the low likelihood of my ever finding a compatable relationship partner. I am perfectly willing and able to live alone. I'm really only interested in living an intellectually stimulating existence, and maybe helping others do the same. Having a spouse might be beneficial, but is only a secondary objective.

Without 'love' your brain wouldn't have developed properly. You wouldn't be on /sci/. You probably would have an iq of 60 or less.

>Skeels & Dye (1939) compared the development of two groups of orphans. One group was raised in a normal institution, in which the staff were too busy to give much attention, and the other group was raised in a home for women who were mentally retarded in which the mentally retarded women gave the orphans attention. After 18 months the average IQ of the children cared for in the normal institution fell from 87 to 61 points, but the children raised in the home for mentally retarded women had a rise in IQ from 64 to 92 points. It seems that the emotional care the children received from adults in the home reduced the emotional deprivation experienced by children in the institution.

Also, look at brain scans of emotionally neglected children, there are actual holes where brain mass is missing.

Don't conflate love with lust. Love is a far more complex mechanism, and forms a social bond almost as strong as friendship. The bond formed by lust is extremely weak and serves only to bring couples together for sex.

I've always thought YOLO should mean the reverse of what it's used to mean. If you only live once, if there's no afterlife or reincarnation when you die, then logically you should live your life extremely cautiously, always planning ahead, setting goals, and managing your time well, so that you can become successful and retire early, and thus so that you can maximize both the quality and quantity of your time alive, rather than merely the quality.

What kind of stupid faggot are you. They definitely did use those resources; the empires would not have existed without them. They may not have had the technology to use them to their fullest extent, and some of them may have had no apparent use (such as diamonds, which are still basically worthless, and tech. widely used in computers, a modern creation), but they were still used extensively. These empires would not be able to support vast populations, though, so they would have used them far less than the modern world does.

Diamonds are absolutely worthless. Their only modern practical application is in engineering that was not available well into the 20th century. Gold is a weak metal that is not useful for tools. It's a good conductor, but those applications were not useful until the late 19th century. They probably used it for decoration, just like other populations that did not attribute any value to gold (such as meso-American groups). Silver has the same problem.

Throughout most of history, there have only been two metals that were really considered important: copper (by way of bronze), and iron. Both are present in great numbers, and I have zero doubt that these kingdoms would not have known how to use them and how to mine them, thanks to their trade networks to Egypt and the middle-east.

Until modern engineering and advances in electromagnetism, gold, silver, and diamonds were not useful. Prior to those advances, the only useful metals for tool-making have a few properties: They are malleable at sufficiently-high temperatures, they are strong when cool, and they are abundant. This has been true for every culture that has used metals in toolmaking, including Europeans. In modern times we may be able to use almost every element in some way, but for the past 200,000 years up until the mid 1800s, most pure elements were not useful to us.

Even in modern times, rum was used in New South Wales.

Gold does not present itself as an obvious choice for money. Stop thinking that and learn to basic economics bro.

These same cultures eat shit.

The west used gold. The west is best.

I think I've made my case

>This is why gold is valuable
no, that's why it's a good stand in for value. paper money has all those qualities as well. all it represented was work done, i.e. a more efficient form of bartering. without those services though, it would still have been worthless.
>>5063432
>doesnt know that gold is a excellent conductor with many applications
as stated before, it does have properties which make it useful in certain applications. but, again, most of its value is simply because of jewelry and, again, that's why its price is so volatile.
>well yeah, too expensive right?
no, just not enough of it. even if it was near worthless tomorrow, there wouldn't be enough of it to feasibly try to use it in industry.

>seeing patterns

The patterns are irrelevant if you're applying them to collectives, because they cannot be used to predict the outcome of an individual, or determine how that individual should be treated.

You are the cultural marxist.

you can't simply print money and let it still have value.

which of the following is useful to the collective, and which is harmful-

A Sickle Cell Anemia-70 IQ Black man
or
A White with 100 IQ and slightly less brute strength

>>finite

This is actually, economically, a bad property. There is only so much you can divide a unit of mass into smaller portions before it becomes easily-lost or -misplaced. When you have a finite amount, each unit tends to become worth more due to inflation. Eventually you have something the size of a penny worth $10 or $20 or $50. This is one reason gold is no longer used as a standard.

That's a pretty shitty example, and it shows you don't understand even the most basic principles of evolution. First off is implying ''''the collective'''' is some natural notion.

you seem to think humans arent inherently social animals.

now tell me- 70 IQ or 100 IQ- which is better?

We are, but 'the collective' is not an inherently-obvious group. Don't treat it like it is.

>>now tell me- 70 IQ or 100 IQ- which is better?
How do you define better? "Better" in terms of evolutionary fitness? Probably 70. A physically-fit specimen is one who lives long enough to have the most offspring with the most offspring. At least in modern-day America, individuals with lower IQ have more offspring, while individuals with high IQ have less, significantly. Under this criteria, the black guy is 'better'.

I notice that you are taking individual cases.
How about backing up YOUR arguments, instead of MINE?

>>5063474
But how does that affect how I behave around an INDIVIDUAL black person?

Also, my behavior in a black neighborhood is probably more affected by the residents' poverty than by their skin color. Very poor people, white or black, are often criminals.
