I have realized that all of the interesting stuff, the low hanging fruit, has been picked out, in the domains of things like mathematics, physics etc etc, look at people like Newton, Einstein, Grothendiek, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, revolutionaries, people who were capable of doing paradigm-shifting level innovations in all of their respective fields, but, everything exists on an S-curve, these fields have not fundamentally changed that much in decades, decades-long stagnation, because we have pretty much picked out all of the interesting. Look at our most interesting, most talented and intelligent mathematicans for instance, he can't revolutionize mathematics, because the last opportunity for that was with Grothendiek, so now he just wastes time with how many twin primes are, useless conjectures that both have no value for application, but also even in terms of intellectual contribution, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't mean much, just a very extremely narrow, hyper-specialized problems, within certain sub-sections of areas in a respective field, that do very little to contribute to the advancement of the field as a whole. I've realized, if all of the interesting questions have been answered, then, life is pretty boring and dull, there's no mystery, no sense of discover, awe, wonder, like it's all been done since the advancements in category theory, the standard model, etc etc, and all of the other fields that have experienced stagnated growth since the mid-20th century, despite rising research papers, publications, and graduate student numbers rising. What good reason is there to not die from a fentanyl overdose
>>16378259Oh, and another thing, my IQ is 85, if you just wanted to know how over it really is, how can I even begin to start grasping this to start infiltrating into new territory, if I don't even have a B-grade intelligence level, when, in order to even go into grad school, you need to have like a 4.0 GPA
>>16378259>I have realized that all of the interesting stuff, the low hanging fruit,Almost nothing has been solved, you just dismiss every real problem as not interesting because you are only interested in particle physics and dismiss the rest as banal engineering. Like you dont understand the simples chemical reactions but you shrug it off because not particle physics.If you replace "particle physics" with "god made it so" you would essentially be not better than some dark age troglodyte. You would not have an interest in a topic like metallurgy or navigation because "uh, god made the world, everything else is just a consequence, we should just study god" and then write a 900 page theology tome
>>16378277Yea, well I was talking about on the non-engineering side, but even on the engineering side, let's be real, outside of computers, a lot of things have stagnated, and moores law is dying, large language models are already hitting diminishing returns, theoretical computer science as a field actually has stagnated for decades, let's be fucking real, it's pretty much impossible to be a Nikola Tesla, why aren't there more Nikola Tesla level revolutionaries in the domain of engineering in the 21st century, especially when we live in a post-industrialized society where the opportunities to forster such people are greater than ever. The applied stuff was just 50 years behind the theoretical stuff, it catches up, and boom stagnation occurs. The only people who disagree, are people who have a techno-bro singularity, Elon Musk, Ray Kurzweil type fantasy, which will never come into fruition, because yes our intuition is linear, and most systems in the world are non-linear, but non-linear growth doesn't have to be accelerating, it can also be getting infinitesimally smaller and smaller, which is exactly what is happening
>>16378259>I have realized that all of the interesting stuff, the low hanging fruit, has been picked out, in the domains of things like mathematicsThis is absolutely not true roflmao.Math still has a shit ton of low hanging fruit.
>>16378288You only talk about computers because you have exposure to them. Its the only technology that you can think off, because you are illiterate. Tons of problems are unsolved, you are just not interested. For you science means particle physics and technology means computers, you are a simpleton with a dark ages mindset
>>16378288>The applied stuff was just 50 years behind the theoretical stuff, ialmost always its the opposite, that goes for the simplest things too. Like, planetary motion was understood before there was a theoretical basis for it
>>16378314ThisWe still need to solve stuff like the Riemann hypothesis and the cardinality of flip graphsJust do some of these important and simple problems
>>16378330My IQ is 85 and I am dumb, sorry I never went to school, which means I am filtered from real jobs, and I don't have fake diploma to show employer that I am qualified, but don't worry, I'll make sure that I wipe out my sub-saharan African level IQ, wiping out my inferior genes for good once I go homeless and fentanyl myself
>>16378398Why dont you just become a plumber or janitor at walmart or something and stop having opinions on science? It really does nothing for you unless you have some specific problem that intrigues you.I know your kind, all looking for glory and recognition, lamenting an alleged dearth of problems to solve.I will grant you a problem: Solve drug addiction, devote your life to the study of the brain biochemistry, not to study abstract things like IQ, but to find a cure for addiction. Seems noble enough, real and unsolved. Otherwise just get some simple job.
>>16378259What saved me from overdose was literally the fact, that I cannot do more drugs while I'm dead.Now I'm clean for sometime... And be sure there's a lot of space for innovation, something life changing in great aspect maybe not, but many things that greatly improve what we have,
>>16378288>theoretical computer science as a field actually has stagnated for decadesHow much do you know about TCS? Been to any conferences?
>>16378478>Been to any conferences?
>>16378424There's no such thing as solving drug addiction, but, otherwise, no, I want to go homeless and die of drug addiction.>>16378476You also can't do drugs if you're clean. There's nothing wrong with death, literally nothing wrong with death. Death is peaceful
>>16379097>There's no such thing as solving drug addiction,For now, thats the point. Its an open problem and whoever solves it would get very rich and famous. >>16379097>There's nothing wrong with death,Your family would be sad, thats the major thing stopping most people. Maybe you should work on easy and reliable suicide, some poisons are easy to make with ghetto lab setups but thats still a lot for most people.
>>16379162Well, suicide is good for eugenics, it weeds out those with useless and inferior brains like myself
>>16378259> all of the interesting stuff, the low hanging fruit, has been picked outThis is just false. It's more like academic quality of life has deteriorated.Most people are just better off in another industry. Get out of your math focused mindset and become career oriented. Your math skills will let you understand cool shit when it gets published which you'll be able to explain to your coworkers. Being able to keep up with current research is also quite fun. Although to a large extend this applies to fields like biology rather than math or physics.
>>16378259How much salt dissolves in water?
>>16379097But when you're clean, you can stop being clean. When you are dead it's harder to stop being dead. Drug addicts are not like television heroes, they mostly stay dead once they are.
>>16379165You may be useless, but are you literally waste?
>>16378267yeah lol having a low iq makes it impossible... i can memorize the material but get tripped up by trick questions too easily, or just make a dumb calculation error and end up with a shit tier gpanot to mention on exams i just get paralyzed with fucking fear lmao. even a 3.7 is dogshit these days
>>16378259agreed
>>16378259Besides the mystery of abiogenesis: current genetics and epigenetics are not sufficient to understand how the body regulates boundaries and how species evolve on a macro scale like there's an undiscovered meta-level of physiological intelligence. There's code and translation of code but what is the orchestrating principle that makes a child grow into an adult in a controlled manner?
>>16378259That's your call to focus on art and experience the beauty that talented (beautiful) humans who are not ugly dysgenic autistic scientists have made.But instead you post AI generated *anime* art, showing that you will always be a STEM bugman and deserve to have your reality crushed.You placed your faith in the wrong God. Aesthetic-chads stay winning!
