The major tragedy of fast technological progress is how quickly ego kills curiosity. Whether it's smartphones a few decades ago or AI today, our immediate response to being outpaced is contempt. We look down on new tools, because admitting their utility forces us to admit that society has clung to multiple outdated, narrow definitions of value.

The major tragedy of fast technological progress is how quickly ego kills curiosity. Whether it's smartphones a few decades ago or AI today, the amateur techie doesn't try to actually understand the technology or its implications. Instead, he immediately devolves into delusional fantasies where Current Tech is magic and somehow makes him less worthless, or at least makes everyone as worthless as him.

Guess I'm not real people, then. Because I'm dying to see mindless tech gooners accelerate their way into a global hi-tech prison and then civilizational collapse. I genuinely hope no one does anything to stop j**-run corpos using statistical models to degenerate math, science, culture, art and every other human activity, all while whoring out their tech to alphabet agencies developing next gen mass surveillance, murder drones, lab-engineered diseases and so on.

Techies will get the change they deserve and my curiosity about what punishments the universe has in store for you will be satisfied. :^)

https://esmed.org/impacts-of-covid-19-mrna-vaccination-and-infection/

Although it is often claimed that COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations reduce COVID-19 severity and post-acute sequelae, these assertions are refuted by evidence of extensive mRNA immunization-related harms that appear to be amplified by SARS-CoV-2 infection, resulting in considerable overlap in reported adverse outcomes.
Spike proteins from both sources persist in the human body over the long-term, leading to immune dysfunction, inflammation, autoimmunity, organ dysfunction, and overlapping toxicities. We hypothesize that the mRNA vaccinations create a persistent toxic milieu of spike protein, inflammatory lipid nanoparticles, and DNA impurities, amplifying morbidity and mortality risks commonly ascribed to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Many 2021-2024 morbidity/mortality events in highly vaccinated populations, though often attributed solely to COVID-19 illness (due to close temporal associations with laboratory-confirmed infection), were more likely to result from these interactions or “hybrid harms”. Evidence supporting our hypothesis includes studies of negative efficacy, overlapping pathologies (e.g., myocarditis and thrombosis), redundant mechanisms, and epidemiological surges in excess mortality during the Omicron era (since December 2021) in extensively vaccinated countries. Case report data indicate that spike protein production along with associated “spikeopathies” may persist for at least three years, during which a coronavirus infection could trigger a new disease syndrome that would logically be attributed to the infection based on the timing. In contrast there is a relatively mild course for Omicron infections in the unvaccinated.

What books/channels/other resources could help me go from dropout retard to absolute master in 6 months?

I'm going into a college course that will get me a degree in any major of my choosing (I chose maths). I could just coast through and get my retard points but I want to actually learn the subject.
I want to at least get a good understanding of algebra before I start and preferably understand pre-calculus by then.

OP here.
So far I've just been solving questions for an hour, then spending another hour on researching (Reading books, finding out why I got the wrong answer on said questions, etc), an hour break, then 30 minutes to go over what I researched (More questions) every day.

The book recommendations are helpful even if I can't understand some (like Calculus Made Easy) yet.
>>
>>17056309
Your study methodology is lovely, OP. The reality is that if you just keep doing this ad infinitum then you'll be going far. Once you feel comfy with basic algebra, I recommend Stewart's Precalculus and later his Calculus textbook (the one that goes all the way through calc 1-3 and ends at ODE's; the calculus made easy book is probably better to do first). Stewart is good to absorb a wide range of concepts and you can move on to more rigorous stuff after.

Disclaimer: Stewart's Calculus is PRIMARILY a classroom textbook, so you may feel like you need more elaboration from your other sources at times, but he was still a fantastic textbook writer and his textbooks are great for practice problems due to his focus on appealing to a broad STEM audience.

Is a time travel bootstrap paradox something that can conceivably happen using our current understanding of how the universe works?
I know this falls more under speculative science fiction, but I wanted to get a scientific perspective on it.
If the question is retarded you can say so, but you're going to have to explain exactly why.

Isn't it funny how the Chinese are simultaneously portrayed as subhuman bug people with no creativity and as a serious existential threat to American technological and military dominance?

they are just mixing powders and heating them up. They could have just used a python script for that as well and combined it with a genetic algorithm.

But that's my point. Forest fires have been around for eternity. You'd expect nature to have tuned itself around their natural rate of occurrence by now. But that requires thinking about the big picture and not just what makes Grug feel uncomfortable.

You're arguing with low-IQ people whose entire idea of intelligence is based on pop culture cliches about what smart people do. And it's not like he's never tried playing a competitive FPS game. He just gets steamrolled but instead of figuring out why he's losing and how to improve, he copes by telling himself the game requires "dumb" abilities (like low reaction time and high mastery of "mechanical" skills - both associated with higher IQ) and goes to play some slow-witted puzzle game designed around average intelligence.

When he plays an FPS game, he doesn't understand, for example, why you always know where he's gonna be and always get there faster. He wanders around the map randomly, like a fly on a windowpane, and assumes that's the best anyone can do in a dumb-people game. Therefore he concludes you're using wallhacks and quits the game in frustration.
