...and??

That's the shit you sign up for by doing a PhD!!

(..and I'm not joking lmao. Research often is like this, and it's good!)

Capital loves Israel, especially the military industrial complex.

Sure, maybe it's not a very direct link, but it's part of what the people in power want.

I do take my meds for social events, because I'm tired of zoning out during conversation all the time lmao

But yeah, it's not something I would take for "the buzz". I think that might just stress me out.

Indeed. And the machine code is created as part of the physical CPU design.

Well, yes, obviously. It was a bit hyperbole, and I should have phrased it better, but it certainly wouldn't elicit much sympathy from me.

Do you think that the economy, infrastructure, logistics, traffic management, and phones don't use math? Sure, maybe language doesn't... but we all learn language at school, though?

Especially phones and electronics. That is nearly all math. And I don't know how one could arrive at another conclusion. In addition.. you are taught the fundamentals of electronics? At least I was.

Tbh, yes. If I were a math teacher, I'd be so sick of everyone complaining about math all the time lmao. Hell, I'm sick of it as a non-math teacher!

Math is the literal foundation of the modern technological world. Without math, we'd have nothing. It's so much more important (and fun, but pre-uni it tends to be taught badly) than most people seem to think.

Have you tried prefacing your problems with "can you help me with this?"

Well, a thousand years is just a day so, he probably just slept on it

I wonder how God would look at us today and recent history. Suddenly we start emitting a lot of smoke and transforming the world, "that can't be right, can it"? Factories spread around the globe, even more of the landscape is transformed, even more smoke is coming out. Massive scale wars break out, but end barely before you manage to comprehend them. Then another world war happens, and it also quickly ends. But this time there are many of those "blips". First over Japan, then many other places. They also land on the moon. "How did they do that?? That was meant to be inaccessible!!"

Then, just as quickly as they began, the blips stopped. Did something go wrong? No, they just stopped willingly. Then everyone has devices they use to talk to anybody else on the planet, then they have those devices in pockets, then, "oh god, it's all happening too quickly! What am I gonna do?? "

And before you know it, they start talking to you on equal terms. No as a single deity entity, but as a collective, supported by immensely complicated technology.

"Hello!", they say

It barely works because it makes a lot of money
