In a deterministic universe, the odds of any even happening are always either 100% or 0, since it has already been determined to either happen or not, therefore all but one of the options are completely impossible. Doing probability requires one to recognize more than one future is possible, thus requires one to believe in nondeterminist. If you see a self proclaimed determinist do probability theory, then you should know that they are either liars or inconsistent retards.

Its always physicists. It all started with Einstein.
People know Carl Sagan, Hawking, Feynman, De Tyrone etc. Nobody gives a fuck about mathematicians.

If the brain is in a learning environment like college for longer, is it more prone to maturation only after leaving a learning environment? Why do some brains mature in the late 40s and others in the early twenties? Does it just keep maturing and changing? Is neuroplasticity different for everyone? What are the implications of this?

Neet here, how long should it take me to learn algebra 1 to calc iii? I spent a whole 2-3 months doing prealgebra and algebra 1 and I realized I haven’t really learned much and feel like this should have taken more like 2 weeks except I kept trying to memorize every fucking point in the textbook and then the next day I would refresh everything I ever learned up until that day and then start learning, which would waste a good chunk of the day. Now I’m gonna try just reading new sections/writing notes/do the problems and then move the fuck on and not give a fuck about reviewing this early on

I was a neet my entire life I never read a textbook before or any book up until late last year so I don’t know how to study properly but now I feel like I’m understanding how to manage my time better if anyone can give any advice on if my new plan is what I was supposed to be doing since day 1
