This board is such fucking garbage. Nothing but absolute shitposting in the form of shitty textbook threads, where pseuds actually recommend garbage books like the Gelfand series, or Pugh's Analysis, ironic Flat Earth threads, college major dick measuring, brainlets lamenting about being too dumb for Maths, race threads where both /pol/ and bleeding heart liberals defecate all over each other, IQ "discussions", homework threads, and low-effort shitposts like this, where brainlets brag about not going to lecture for classes they should have completed in secondary school if they had any real intellect.

And of course, on top of it all, there's the absolutely godawful moderation here that does nothing to remedy the problem.

A true brainlet fails to realize that even with a high IQ, without relationships with other intelligent people in positions of power one cannot maximize the probability of career success. I've known tons of spergs who were "smarter" than me flash in the pan because they were too arrogant and short sighted to realize how they were perceived by others. I also noted that the loner genius types often had huge swaths of information memorized and near fully understood, but without instruction, often had fundamental misconceptions in various subjects which were harder to correct with instruction.

Is right, I lived in the town where that college is located and it's filled with those tards everywhere. You'd think it's only college and highschool aged but there's a lot of 30-40 year olds that just scream garbage too

>and enjoy your solitude.

Why is this a bad thing? I spend 90% of my time alone. I had girlfriends and friends, but i always end up getting tired of them. Most of the people that i found to be interesting were people that i met online.

Yeah same here, I go to a SUNY and the people there are fukkin insane. I've been told multiple times that you can't be racist towards white people, and a black student organization protested safety measures in the downtown area saying that it's racist because blacks live in the poorer part of the city.

Shits dumb yo

>Weeder courses
>Good uni

The purpose of uni is to teach people. If your uni is a pissing contest who's goal is to make courses as hard as possible then it misses the entire purpose of education. Classes shouldn't be made deliberately easy so that everyone passes, but should be structured in a way that the average person can learn the content, especially Gen EDS.

You guys are so insufferably smug about the smallest things. Youre worse than /mu/.
