My 9th grade teacher once told me "Only pick the field you like if you have done a lot of research in it. If you picked anything related to science or maths, only go into the field if you have done any research by yourself or tried to recreate any. That means you simply don't go behind them after you have read some interesting one line science facts or anything you see on sci-fi films."

She was right. I never was interested in theoretical or practical kind of science, rather I was interested in the interesting things put forward by researchers.

If you qualify it like this, then you’re fucking dumb
Nobody goes into a multivariable calculus exam having not studied and “derives it all,” because not even the greats did that. Hell, Stokes only did that for a single problem and nothing else on his quals. You study to practice and breed familiarity with the material, both the applications of which and the proofs. Being “good” at something is a function of how much time you put in and how efficiently you study. When I take 5 hard classes, I study at least 4 hours a day and 5 hours on the weekends.

One need not be of hiQ stock to know one's strength. The warrior spirit is the spirit of the brainlet, and it includes an intuitive grasp of strategic and tactical conditions alike.

The savage man of the primordial forest, steppe or savanna may not be able to grasp the subtleties of multivariable calculus or non-euclidean geometry, but his sight is keen, his resolve is unyielding, his cunning far outpaces that of his canine, feline or ursine adversary, and above all else, his spear flies true. His neural pathways are not wasted on endless contemplation regarding complex semantic constructs, but they provide a clear and accurate picture of his surroundings and the action space within them, as well as the reward space beyond them. The hiQ rejects the warrior as quaint, trivial or even barbaric, but the brainlet warrior paints a masterpiece in the blood of the hiQ.

[Anonymous No.9937622]

>>9937615
The truth of the matter is that not even the HiQ is able to perceive the state of the world in all of its chaotic complexity. As such, even his plans are constrained by the limited availability of information and the simple constraints on execution placed on the plan by the laws of the universe and the inherent limitations of communication between multiple individuals. Therefore it stands both the test of time and reason that a plan of action be as simple, straightforward and redundant as possible, without high degrees of abstraction or many divergent branches. And as it happens, the brain of the brainlet has been fine tuned to process this intuitively by millenia of natural selection. Any plan simple enough to work with any acceptable degree of confidence is a plan simple enough for the brainlet to grasp and execute.

First and foremost, mathematics and science weren’t nearly as developed or competitive then. They found foundational stuff. Newton spent his days literally hitting the books to develop new theory.

See, this is why popsci is cancer, especially in physics. All they market are the things the public gets hyped by, like FTL, multiverses, wormholes, all that crap that the public has substituted for magic.

I think it's the fact that when you learn pop-sci stuff as a kid and get all excited to be a scientist you're not exposed to how ball aching undergraduate education is and how far from an actual scientific education it'll be.

This more or less. Family were poor immigrant artists and actors. I was aware of pop-sci but I never much cared for it and didn't like sci-fi (I care more about the deeper artistic merits of storytelling, allegories, metaphors, imagery, other literary devices, etc..). I also don't have any interest in science (though I did take some physics and chem classes in university to boost my GPA cause that shit's easy) and think of math as an art form. Since I was a kid I had a strong intuition for mathematics (formally and informally) so getting a degree in pure math just seemed like the natural thing to do. It didn't hurt that LaTeX is great for typography nerds and what constitutes a good proof is basically the same stuff that constitutes a good piece of art.
