Every once in a while I see people posting memes and or talking shit about this board.
I came to check it out for myself.

You think you are enlightened because you attended a class on a subject and can reiterate what you learned verbatim like a parrot?
No, thats not how being intelligent works, You lack the understanding of what you do not understand.

For you it is not, "I neither know nor think I know", it is " I know that I know because someone else who knows told me they know"

Astute, rational, and well informed thinkers have no need to tell everyone how smart they are, in fact, such thinkers readily admit their ignorance and ability to learn any subject in greater depth no matter how many jewish classes they have taken on the subject.

All I see here is a bunch of midwits postulating themselves as the next Issac Newton.

Sad, you should learn to actually think instead.

What's even the point of space travel?

>brainlet is squirming in his seat, mutters that he doesn't know the answer
>other kids begin to snicker by this point
>tell him "You know, this is a demanding class that requires both preparation and intelligence. If you're not willing to even do the bare minimum work required to not make a fool of yourself, then you quite simply do not belong here."
>covers his face and runs out of the room
>after class all the girls fawn over me

make the closest thing to a calculator that is humanly possible on a sheet of paper

Is being a highly motivated and driven person innate or learned? Do you know any examples of deadbeat slackers turning their lives around and becoming highly productive and organized people?

This is the most kino galaxy shape why the fuck do we live in a spiral one instead of this
