Probably somewhat correlated. I’m more mad at how many freak boxers we miss out on by the NFL being so lucrative if we’re talking about poaching talent though.

The NFL gets their guys from colleges though

It's not math skills. It's intelligence in general. Humanities are not rewarded in our society. Pay sucks dick and chances are you aren't going to make it even if you are very skilled.

An intelligent person will choose a field that has higher ROI. Trying to become an author is a really bad idea unless you are independently wealthy.

This.
I went into Electrical Engineering just for my career prospects. If I just went into for what I like id go for linguistics and literature.

June Huh, a math prodigy, dropped out of HS to write poetry but eventually went back into math.

>>25174370
But it's kind of the chicken and the egg since she points out that humanities gets little regard precisely because many of those who would be geniuses in literature or poetry get sucked put early on. Humanities now functions as the field for people lacking the talent and brain for harder fields, which is why the pay continues to decline.

>>25174393
The pay is shit because the market gets narrower and narrower as less people read due to the drop in genral intelligence in the west. Even relatively well educated normoids gravitate towards capeshit instead of Shakespeare.

Also the women, who abuse social media, are partly blame.

Were the poems at least good?

Humanities has always been for the halfwits who crashed out in Algebra 2

>>25175512
That's being real generous. Math is racist and a social construct :3

I dont think so. Maybe marginally, but i think politicization, democratization, and the fact that most nations are ruled by people who don't care to cultivate their populations aptitudes is more so the problem

>>25175512
Always? No.

Beauty is ethical and has naught to do with proportions and patterns and whatnot. I think we're so inundated with distractions, psyops, and convenience, that souls are atrophying under these stressors.

>>25174283
proposition: I hate women

>>25175555
Firstly, one might say ethics are beautiful, is plausible, though highly contentious. But to say all beauty is ethics is unsustainable, we can't say callipyge is "Venus of the ethical buttocks."

Secondly, if ethics are beautiful, is it is because of their consistency, pattern and equipoise.

Nothing good ever came out of trying to uplift the serfs.

Most of literature is navel-gazing. We should always pluck those with aptitude for STEM.

Wordcels are inferior.

Idk why sensual stimulation should be considered beautiful. No one would agree that all kinks are beautiful because so many are repulsive, but those with those kinks get off to them just as much as people with more normal sensuality. Or masturbatiok is beautiful because it makes my dick feel good; hot woman beautiful because I want to have sex... NO!

I guess ethical behavior bears similarities but not in the symmetrical and quantifiable sense the mathematician was getting at

>>25175758
Math isn't sensual stimulation but saying no sight or sound or smell can beautiful suggests that you don't mean beautiful at all. The etymology of beautiful is "sensually pleasing"

>>25174283
Why does every suck STEMtard penis here?

>>25176001
Because most users are from capitalist societies and capitalism has historically rewarded STEM. People like winners, one way or the other. (To be clear, it's not all sunshine and roses, the market for STEM has been souring for some time now and nobody in it prints money any more, but it's still less precarious than being e.g. a history or literature adjunct with hopes to make tenure.)

>>25175744
Then why do they get to boss stemshits around everywhere?
