What are the scientific benefits of quitting /pol?

These past few weeks I have substituted browsing /pol, for browsing /sci (and /lit). The experiment has been going well; I feel more refreshed than ever. It seems that once you extract everything that you need from /pol, ie. Jewish Question, Nigger Question, etc. then it's time to move on, because diminishing returns have kicked in and the dead mass of spam will drag you down.
