[1136023946] philosophy and U

No.2595 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
People who have barely finished high school should not be allowed to discuss topic like sentience. In fact they shouldn't be allowed to discuss anything. Philosophy, like masturbation, is fine as long as you do it in private, but you may not do it in public unless you're at a rock concert.

[1136591941] Your first REAL math course

No.2715 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I always considered my first real math course to be Calc I or Calc II simply because it is the first time you deal with infinity.  Limits, etc.  Everything before that I don't really consider math.  When speaking with a professor recently, however, he mentioned that he thought the first real math course people had in life was matrix theory.  I can see why he said this as it does start to deal with theory and abstract concepts way more, but I don't know if I agree with that...


What are your thoughts?  What do you consider the first real math course?

[1155122187] Evolution

No.8400 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I hate it when someone who has barely a high school science education and then stands up and denies the theory of evolution without even knowing it! They use stupid questions such as "Then Why dont unicellular organisms evolve like we did?" and other such stuff that is covered in the theory, yet theyre too ignorant to actually learn it. If you must attack a theory at least do us all the favour of not being an ignorant hick and learning about it so we can have an INFORMED debate.

[1130526845] I am god. You may ask me one question.

Every so often I ask a question, here are the answers thus far, the universe was created so that by apparent freak chance an electromagnetic field occurs and mongles the 4chan server causing this message to appear. The questioneers were important in the larger scale of things, but were not in any real positions of power. The same applies to you. I will answer only one question.

You have free will and the universe is governed by set scientific laws.

I am not human in form, by form I meant sentient.

Give everything a second thought, not thoughts of faith, but of what I'm thinking as I look down apon you.
