now i'm arguing that there's so little in the world of math that's not already known and universally accepted as fact, so to pursue a career down that path would be rather pointless.
BeingBobina
amen
ofarevolution441
as your voice would never actually have a chance of being truly heard
BeingBobina
the scientific community is all about using other people's ideas to further your own to let other's use it to further THEIR research
ofarevolution441
towards such pointless technologies that answer pointless questions about how we scientifically got to this exact moment in time
idk. i feel like it's the absolute wrong way to go about perceiving the universe
BeingBobina
it's useful, and we wouldn't live in this kind of society without it
BeingBobina
I just don't prefer it for myself :p
ofarevolution441
i feel like technology could have stopped advancing 10 years ago and the world would be better off. because now we're just entering this downward spiral of informationinformationinformation
things go obsolete as soon as they're produced, things like that
BeingBobina
attention spans are shorter, I've noticed
ofarevolution441
the technology leading UP to this point has been undeniably useful
BeingBobina
but that's assuming all people will choose to go for the newnewnew all the time
ofarevolution441
but it's time to stop.
it really is.
ofarevolution441
any technologies from here on out are just masturbatory "look what we can do!" statements, i swear
BeingBobina
well, it's also the choice of the person to be aware of the technology but not conform to it
ofarevolution441
yes, well guess what the average person's going to do when they see a shiny new metal object? go towards it.
BeingBobina
it's a advancement of convenience for the already convenient
ofarevolution441
exactly.
BeingBobina
I just have an iphone because it was the cheapest for the best value :p
ofarevolution441
you consumer, you <3
BeingBobina
but it's not like 'zomg iphone *downloads every app*'
ofarevolution441
yeah.
BeingBobina
I GOT SOLITAIRE AND MINESWEEPER FOR MY PHONE, how '90s desktop is that?
ofarevolution441
it's pretty rad. but we're tangent-ing. the point is that english > science, as it allows people to realize their full potential, whereas science pushes towards goals that will always be toppled over and toppled over to infinity
BeingBobina
well that could also be the appeal
BeingBobina
amen

BeingBobina
well that could also be the appeal
that there is always something more concrete to reach for and discover
ofarevolution441
well, if they're always toppled over to infinity, it's kind of pointless, innit?
but i guess we have to fill that quota of people who need to try hard to reach that infinity
otherwise it'll never be reached! and i rest my case.
circular logic, how does it work
BeingBobina
the difference I see is that science is reaching for the next big thing, while literature is able to reach but also just be
ofarevolution441
yes. and it's totally subjective, how you perceive it. i think that's it. that's why they're such opposites. science is completely objective, languages/arts are totally subjective.
BeingBobina
humanities all the way
(and that's why i'm going to be an English major.)

They said that a hundred years ago - that everything useful had already been invented. How wrong were they?
