>victimhood mentality Does this kind of pseudo-self-help-tough-love help anyone? Whenever I read something like that I do not feel motivated but enraged. Sometimes people are really victims. Mainly of chance.

All the problems you listed as US-specific problems exist in my corner of Europe too, except gun violence. And on top of that we have fewer jobs, lower salaries, higher taxes and high unemployment. I love Europe: its history, its music, its

I wish I lived in the same society as you where people condition themselves and other to find purpose. On the contrary it seems to me that most people live a completely unexamined life, and don't concern themselves with meaning, purpos

Come on, at which level did you study them? I studied both at University level and was a classical clarinet player and anything STEM was much more difficult than anything music theory.

I am a classical clarinet player, a Physicist and a programmer. Music theory is ridicously easy in confront to everything STEM I've studied. It isn't even a paragon: the counterintuitiveness of Physics, the abstractions, the rigor

University is, for about everyone who isn't in it for branding, about educatoon and getting a job. I don't need to live with others to know who I am: I can introspect in my room and maybe use the money saved in rent to pursue some

Learning styles are a pedagogical myth and there is no evidence that they exist or that catering learning to and individual learning style improves said learning.

Maybe that's true for the overpriced American University built on branding, but I've learned actual skills in University and the credentialing and networking has been meh... Every time this conversation comes up it seems so surrea

I studied Physics and I hate every single "popular" Physics books. Thankfully I come across Physics through Math otherwise I would have never studied it. The real think is so much more interesting than the "popular" one.

I love the abstractness of Mathematics so I dispute the thesis. And I'm (wrongly) a Physicist. Abstraction do not "hamper understanding" but the rigor necessary to define the abstract objects of Mathematics is ruthless on you

So, the reason why some people cannot understand abstract math is... a Conspiracy by Western Elites? Let me wear my tinfoil hat.

Your comment diluted the "discourse" more that the "reactionary nonsense" given that the first thing you do is using snark to signal that yiu are in the "cool tribe".

It may seem like 14 years old is "too soon" for being preoccupied about one's livelihood but, based on my experience, it is certainly healthier than waking up as a 27 y/o man and finding that the perception of your perso

I don't know why this antididactical bullshit is tolerated in STEM or even praised. Every single research in the field show us that feedback is one if not the most important part of learning, that's why self teaching is so difficu

Talking about me: I'm very much abstract and academic and do not really care about practical applications. I went into Physics and realized how much I hated the lab and the more experimental oriented subjects: I love the Math sequences
