....You closed the HLP Road Trip thread!?! You put it to bed before I could add a meaningful (okay, meaningless) contribution! I feel cheated! Betrayed! Hungry!
Schmeh, now I feel bored. But don't let it happen again!
I hope that you've learned your lesson, young man.

Hey, I could start a new one if you like... ;7 :D

University professors are still HUMAN BEINGS! They're not just Math machines - and besides, only a tiny fraction teach maths, and a tinier fraction are turned on by it. :rolleyes:

Which is I recommended you ask them. :D There was this one guy about 50 years ago, G.H. Hardy, who was one of my favorite guys in terms of his ideas; he had a queer personality by popular standards, and said that math was the most beautiful thing in the universe. I mostly agree with him on that bit. :p
Math machines
;7
Anyway, if not me, then have someone else start another of those topics. :D Or how about something we all like even better: games! ;7

How many university professors do you know in person anyway? You do realize that a statistical sampling of the group will prove your statement false, right?
-
If this is all true CP, you need to seek a doctor. Its just not right i just cant believe your 15 and have more interest in maths than anything else.

A couple from the nearby University of Maryland but not all that well, but it's not like I really respect all of those guys either. :p :D (some are just what I call "lambda theta xi" guys :D) Get a statistical sample from only the staff of the world's most renowned universities for these subjects, and I think you should get a fairly good result. Also, by principles of mass-psychology, popular opinions do not prove statements; they influence the acceptance of the statements. :p
If this is all true CP, you need to seek a doctor.
That's what people said to many of the world's greatest minds; this is why diversity of thought is important. ;)
But we are already arguing about this in the other topic. Lets make this one an HLP trip to x location topic, with game stuff in it. :D
-
So now your one of the elite? I think even Isaac Newton had a wife and liked women.
-
Not saying that; I am just saying that strange ideas should not be discounted just because of their strangeness. ;) (although humanity as a whole is generally incapable of this due to the rule of resistance to change, but with Planck's principle in there, science progresses anyway) Actually Newton never married, but he was a fanatical Christian. :p I personally like Leibniz better in this way since he did not simply accept an existing belief but tried to form his own. ;)

You'll only get a result proving your statement if you manipulate the set to reflect the view you want it to prove. The best researchers are not those who focus solely and completely on their research subjects, not even those who make said subject their main objective in life. You're portraying what you want the "best scientists" to be, not what they really are.
Crap, why am I arguing this again? I'll let time show you what is true and what isn't.

Thats what they want you to think. Oh and i meant Albert E. Heres a quote about Isaac anyway
If we evolved a race of Isaac Newtons, that would not be progress. For the price Newton had to pay for being a supreme intellect was that he was incapable of friendship, love, fatherhood, and many other desirable things. As a man he was a failure; as a monster he was superb."
So by that Quote, CP's thinking is not progress towards a better humanity and Physics is far better than maths.

I'm not quite sure what the basis behind your points here is; no proof or even an attempt at proof is shown. What is this "manipulation of the set" that you speak of? What is defined as a "best researcher or a "best scientist?" As I said in the other thread, I could say that you are simply wrong and it would be about as good of an argument. :p :D
Crap, why am I arguing this again? I'll let time show you what is true and what isn't.
Only you know that. :D As for the second bit, it cannot be determined according to the fact that the fundamental assumption is an assumption, but hey, sure. For the fourth or fifth time, wait for a few decades. ;7
Not to mention, that you are not an admin, so you CAN be banned. :p
hey, I didn't do anything wrong, so there is no real reason; rules never said weird people are banned. :p :D Besides, we all must be finding this fun, or we wouldn't be writing at all, and the HL forum is for general off-topic stuff anyway, right? ;)
So by that Quote, CP's thinking is not progress towards a better humanity and Physics is far better than maths.
okay...how is "love, fatherhood, etc." desirable when there is technology? (doubt I will get a straight answer here :p) Also, I said that diversity in ideas in usually a good thing. Nothing is stated about physics in there, but look into physics in depth and you will simply see an extension of math into the material universe. ;)
-
w00t!
-
It's getting interesting, isn't it? ;) :D
-
Nah, this will never get 500 posts. ;7
-
I think that's because the posts contain CONTENT, which take longer to write. :p
-
Less content people, less content!!! :D
BTW it won't get 500 posts cause admins will be there before.
WAHOOO!
Now it has NO content! :D
-
Alright, I want to just see what this turns out like:
How many of you really liked that 500-post thread and would like to see another one? :p
-
ME, ME!!! :wakka:

I thoght that was meant for Styxx... but I'm not sure. :p
Also, most if not all arguments here have CP5670 in it. I wonder why... :p nowaydays we see one thread per day with arguments, and CP in it, and week ago we didn't see any.
Also, I didn't especially like that 500 post thread, but I read it all. :blah: What a waste of time, some people just want to bump their post counts. :p But the good thing in it was, that if the posting would have continued, it would've reached TaS posts in few days. ;7
Edit: Also, remember that this thread is not made by an admin, so it might be locked soon.

Those are the people who try to make their work look much more advanced than it really is by putting in all kinds of unfamiliar greek letters into it. :p

There have been some of recent posts questioning why I think the way I do, so I thought I might as well spill it. (or some of it, anyway; the rest will be in that book) Also, some people like argument for its own sake, and people with unconventional views are an easy target there. ;)

How ironic that the internet has become a place to be persecuted. I don't agree though. We're just gently ribbing you. Besides, I have some odd views, like anti-corporatism, and nobody seems to have noticed next.
Besides, I don't mind your views, they don't harm anyone except arguably yourself, and you seem happy with them. I reserve my most scathing criticism for people with entirely conventional views.
Like Zeronet. ;)

I'd rather be religious than insane like our friend CP.

He is rational (to an extent), just unconventional. I mean, his beliefs are just as much dogma as yours, just not supported by others (or anyone else outside his head, in fact). :)
-

:D
The thing is that normal Latin letters would work just as well; in fact, I usually just stick to one letter and use something like V1, V2, and so on.

Yeah...., thinking a naked woman is no different to a naked man is rational thought for a 15 year old boy.

Let's see..... I go to university. And I can tell you that a lot of the faculty that aren't stuck up are more interested in hitting be pub and talking about their specialty, instead of just one or the other. ;)

You're basing rationality on expectations of behaviour patterns. Just because he doesn't exhibit the normal behaviour pattern in one area doesn't mean he's irrational in all others.
Plus, love and lust are quite irrational. It's just that we're prepared to accept and embrace that.
-
Living your live purely by logic would make for an exceedingly dull life....

LOL, actually as I said before, these little discussions are quite useful to me because they allow me to make my ideas more precise and subject them to some tests. ;)

wanna bet? ;7
-
But being rational is subjective, therefore basing being rational on the usual behavioural patterns of people is logical, otherwise we would have nothing to base it on.
-
I agree. As I said, most people are prepared to accept and embrace irrationality.
Spice of life, etc etc... :p
-
I think it's good that FS wings and ships and all is named like they are now. I like those Alpha 1 and 2 and all... ;)

Styxx... but as I said already I'm not sure did he mean him. :p

Thought this might be applicable here: ;)
Who doesn't prefer a well-worn belief to the chilly winds of uncertainty?
Also, rationality (application of logic to practical human affairs) is indeed subjective but logic and its extensions are not, so it must be made so. ;)
But that's not FreeSpacey enough! Use proper FS2 designations! :eek:

Simon Fraser. Local one. I've been around university people since practically I was born, and have been a science student for the last four years. Both my parents work at a university, my dad is a PhD in chemistry and my mom is a masters. Sure, faculty will talk about what they do research in, but they will also talk about their family, their recent vacation or whatever else. They are people just like everyone else.

Skateboarding could be considered an irrational thing to do. Also i do want to bet that living by CP logic would make for a dull life, but then again, i'll probably here, what someone considers dull could be entirely different to another persons view blah and blah with some blah.

Uncertainty! Uncertainty! :D
Make your mark on the world...plus it's more exciting!

You better believe it. Some of the people here have such boring lives it seems. I much prefer hitting the town four nights in a row to making FS missions or converting models, thank you very much. :D

For me, it is the latter, so that this is shown to be subjective in its current state.

They just tend to get annoying after a while, since anything else could be used in place of them just as easily. :p

One of the reasons, yes. They go by what is accepted rather than questioning it, which in this case, is lifestyle. But who really cares about that. :D

How do you know they didn't question it at one time? How do you know they choose to not talk about other things in their lives because they choose not to? You're assuming too much.
Dude..... seriously, you're a kid. You might be a genius, but you don't have the real-world experience for wisdom. Yes this has got covered before, but wisdom and intelligence go best together..... wisdom without intelligence is of little help, and the reverse can very well lead to horrible 'experiments' in the name of 'social progress' or some such.
