I decided to go to college to study physics and my high school friend decided to become a truck driver and now its only 6 years later and he is making well over 6 figures and has a wife and a house and children and I am still in school, still a virgin and my dad still pays my bills for me.
I thought I was smart because I study physics but seeing how my friend is progressing in life while I am still pretty much a child just like back in high school really rustles my jimmies. Should I quit school and become a truck driver? My friend said he would hire me to drive for him and eventually I could buy my own truck and earn big money like he is doing.
Alternatively if I stay in physics i'll probably never earn a decent salary, all the "science factoids" and formulas i've memorized for school are pretty much useless when it comes to earning money or getting a decent job, I feel like an idiot for wasting so much of my life on physics. Looking back, it seems like the "scientist" lifestyle is something only a low IQ could be tricked into choosing. Most of what I've learned studying physics is just stuff I could've looked up on wikipedia in my spare time if I had been driving a truck the last few years.

Sounds like a good way to go. He spent his youth indulging in his passion and then kill himself when he can no longer do that. After you have experienced the wonders of intellectual pursuit, being trapped in mind numbing manual labor is going to be frustrating as fuck.

unless you nearly have your degree I would suggest just to take a pause for 1-2 years and go work a real job. I did the same mistake thus tacked on 2 years on a bachelor and 3 on a masters its wasted time and you gain nothing. Go work and you will more motivated to end your program and earn the six figures within that time.
t. took a decade to complete my physics studies I do not recommend it.

Doubt
>and has a wife and a house and children and I am still in school, still a virgin and my dad still pays my bills for me.
Read the /scg/ FAQ; you will get a job soon enough. Life is not about pay but about experiences.
>I thought I was smart because I study physics
You arem yes.
>but seeing how my friend is progressing in life
Is he? The thinng about gold collar jobs is that the pay is quick but career soon tapers off.
>Should I quit school and become a truck driver?
My advice is to stay the course. If you don't you will regret dropping your studies for the rest of your life.
>Alternatively if I stay in physics i'll probably never earn a decent salary,
20 percent of Physicists end up in consultancies, and 20 percent end up in finance, in eitehr case earning a whole lot more than your friend.
>all the "science factoids" and formulas i've memorized for school are pretty much useless when it comes to earning money or getting a decent job,
Learning the factoids and formulas is not about those things but learning how to think like a scientist. And for that you need a foundation.
>I feel like an idiot for wasting so much of my life on physics. Looking back, it seems like the "scientist" lifestyle is something only a low IQ could be tricked into choosing.
A ,ot of society is about instant gratification and contemt for skills. Don't fall for that.

physicists aren't important people, truck drivers are, shifting cargo around is a necessary function while publishing articles nobody will ever read is not, thats why truck drivers earn more to start than physics majors do and their payscale also rises way way higher

Reading made sticky and they mention asians are better at math because they teach better math, by using memorization and concrete daily life examples, americans try to teach math by using abstract ideas and don't relly on memorization.

It seems east asians teaching methods are superior to dirty dumb westerners.

Why would a Chinese person invent anything when the country itself has no form of intellectual property?
>>
>>16823765
Its a face culture, Anon. All they have to do is shoot some photos for the cameras and tell people they've reverse engineered it, it doesn't actually have to work. If it ever does come up that any of it needs to be actually used, they'll just punch downward and blame someone below them.

That's why their jet engines melt themselves into slag and their carrier isn't seaworthy. It doesn't have to work, they're just saving face.

I never really understood how Aristotelian thought was in any way opposite to an observation based science, and had apparently held back the west for years. You would think that when Aristotle invented most sciences by meticulously cataloguing and observing nature we would have a similar attitude.

This is what it means to have intelligence - you see the whole system, not just the local optimum.
God is the central scientific concept, the Absolute, the root, 1, 0, infinity, the centre point, the fulcrum, the axiom, the universal set, the Union...
All of science points in this direction, implies, presupposes, proves, necessitated and essentially worships God

I never agreed with this daoist concept. if everyone who knew never spoke, that isn't dao and negates the entire book and lao tzus teachings. is entityart your website?

>>16828470
Yep lao tzu spoke and he knew.
No, entity art is not mine, all credits to him. He's a British genius, who likely was into Star wars as a kid, he meditated in early adulthood, had sci-fi Nazi experiences, then researched very deeply.
He gives a strong Aries vibe (self responsibility, conflict, being proactive, not dwelling in feelings too much).
So it's essentially alternative science and alternative politics. I appreciate him, he helped me wake up, he was like a father, though I have moved beyond him now. (All things change...)
So the problem is he believes in the external world too much, that samadhi is escapism, that "we" must deal with "the reality on this planet" etc.
But actually the way out is in, via spirituality.
You can imagine you are oppressed by evil people, and it will be true for you, but it's not a good strategy...
I am posting it here for the science.
