>>11416007not really. most discussion about science and math never goes past a late sophomore-early junior level. People here constantly argue about QM interpretations but can't solve basic mechanics problems. If you go to the math general, most people are bitching about introductory abstract algebra. Engineering students here unironically peddle stress tensors and introductory control theory as the hardest physics or math could get. CS doesn't even get discussed here past the capacity of "dae prongrammin." Chemistry discussions seem to be good here but they always die so quickly. Bio is in a similar camp.
Almost nobody here is good at what they do. It's clear that many here, while shitposting, are also the students snickering at.
>>11416014genuinely intellectual people tackle topics in an intellectual manner across the board, but this doesn't mean they have a shortlist of "things sophisticated people read" in order to become that way. This is why you can tell the difference between a lecturer and a professor proper.
>>11416029LMAO say that again when the IQ, tooker, climate change, "libs are talking about wamen in STEM ree," linear algebra hate, major tier list, polshittery/mangling statistics and race, and other such threads stop spamming their way to the top of the catalog. This place isn't as bad as /v/ or /g/, but it fucking blows by a mile compared to almost anything else
