How do I know if I'm a pseudo intellectual?
>>7708487
That depends.
Do you tip your fedora?
if you post on /sci/
>>7708487
It doesn't really matter
If you can come up with something legitament and construct it in a fool proof or in a sufficiently analytical matter that it cross the puddle of the laymen to to a point found satisfactory by the creature of analytical semantics then you're already on your way to publishing
i don't know if intellectuals actually exist
i've never been one so i can't confirm that they do
>>7708487
Here you go.
>>7708487
Just try to understand how your world really works, and avoid social posturing. Learn it for you, and anyone calling you pseudo's words become near empty in meaning.

>takes wildberger seriously
You don't?
He's right you know. Cantor was crazy and a hack. His infinite sets are just products of his sick mind.
>>7708594
( ͡ ͜ʖ ͡)
>>7708487
Don't worry, you're asking the right questions.
>>7708594
>tfw no bingo
feels bad man
>consciousness is an illusion
this is more a question of semantics, but the statement can have meaning
>claims to be logical while posting opinions
we're posting on 4chan, not publishing a paper
How did i do?
Your bingo is shit, Im ten hundred percent secondary but only god this
>>7708594
What is wrong with GEB? I just bought it and read a few pages.
The idea seems ridiculous, but I am interested in how he will try to make sense out of it.
>>7708734
Nothing. It's just not a formal investigation of diagonalization. It's a good read otherwise.
>>7708594
>memorized more than three digits of pi
Nigga, you should remember 3.14159 without even trying.
>>7708594
>a dimension
The maker of that bingo thingy either doesn't know what he's talking about, or he knows very well what he's talking about. The latter is clearly impossible, because the guy made OC on /sci/. What a cunt.
>>7708866
Why
>>7708886
It's less digits than your birthday and you hear about it more than once a year
>>7708594
>memorized more than 3 digits of pi
Its not like I willingly remembered 5
>enjoys xkcd
its enjoyable
>thinks science has to advance humanity
if it doesn't we won't be able to do any more science
>>7708594
I like my Stephenson, Banks and Asimov ok?
>>7708649
>Only autists do it fun
Fun and money are the only valid reasons to do it.
>>7710143
mah nigga
stephenson and banks are crazy underrated.
>How do I look smart n stuff??
>>>/lit/
>>7708594
I am not sorry for anything.
>>7710155
You're not wrong. Being perceived as intelligent is mostly about being charismatic.
Not that /lit/izens would know anything about that, but it's the right idea at least.
>>7708594
i regret nothing.

>You pump your language full of complex vocabulary, but you do so only to retain a formal tone and not because you understand scientific jargon.
>You have a wide breadth of knowledge regarding the current obstacles of scientific research, but you lack the expertise or depth of understanding to analyze these problems.
>You admire science for its "flashiness" (e.g. Mythbusters), rather than its rudimentary purpose.
> You are a pawn in the Dunning Kruger Effect; the smallest ounce of knowledge obtained strokes your ego immensely.
>>7708487
If you're more prone to examining facts discovered by others.
>>7708594
I think anyone who does STEM should know at least 3.14159 right? That's the usual amount people know...
The wildberger one is silly as well.
wait what's wrong with numberphile? i love their videos
>>7710453
You're just a pseudo intellectual. Accept it and move on.
>>7710147
agreed. I don't really find chemistry "fun" like amusement park fun, but it's definitely the most fun way I can make a measly salary.
>>7708678
>doesn't know what a dime is
>I have no reaction face so here goes
LOL XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

>How to really know that you're a pseudo-intellectual; your "superior intellect" disagrees with the methodology of the test that proved you are a pseudo-intellectual
sorry but as soon as you ask yourself that question ;)
but i think it's more a temporary state, meaning that also intellectuals can be pseudo-intellectual sometimes.
so check your facts and don't talk stats when you don't know them and you'll be fine.
>>7708594
I'm surprised I didn't get more. Maybe it's because learning programming made me less of a cringey dumbass. (Hobbyist, of course)
>>7708594
did i win
>>7708734
Honestly, I really liked it, mostly for Hofstadter's sense of humour.
>>7708594
There is nothing wrong with being a polymath
>>7708594
>there are people on /sci/ who literally do any of these things

>consuming science fiction media is bad
Technically philosophy is relevant to science. What is this shit.
A pseudo-intellectual.

Similarities:
>Atheist
>Strong convictions
>Really fucking gay in one way or another.
Differences:
>One makes videos about talking points with halfwit quips, the other spends 50 minutes debunking a 10 minute video (by a pseudo-intellectual) with his own education. The later is less like a debate and more like a lecture.
>One is an ideologue, the other belongs to no political camp and tries to eliminate logical blinders as best as he can.
>One has done nothing with his life, the other is retired from the military and the police force and has a PHD in mathematics.
>>7708594
>>7708594
> Philosophy
> Not relevant to science
Fun fact nigger, once you get to a certain point you're dabbling in methodology, and as such, philosophy.
Other then that I didn't get a single point.
>>7708734
I read it when I was a kid. It was a good introduction to logic I guess.
>>7708594
:^)
>>7708594
Faggot niggers can't tell me what to like.
>>7708734
It's good. It's not a textbook, but it's a fun read. Edgy contrarians just hate people liking things.
>>7708594
working on my uni degree .
there plenty of good patrician scifi (not at all scientifically correct but that's not the point)
memephile is cool as fuck, brady thinking math is basically magic cuz -1/12 when he doesn't even know what the sum of a infinite sequence means , and desu i only watch it because its the same guy who makes deepskyvideos .
actual philosophy is relevant to anything people do , science is a branch of philosophy and the distinction in our culture exists only because most philosophers are too pleb for the science part .

Just 1. Numberphile is great. All of brady's channels are great.

>Recommends reading the original works of Newton and Darwin
Can't speak about Newton but several of my genetics professors have recommended taking a look at Darwin's works.
