imagine if money, intelligence, focus, health, time, and other circumstances weren't a problem. what would you dedicate your life to studying? why does it fascinate you? as for me, i've always wanted to study brains. pick apart this dense mass of flesh that somehow encodes the human soul. i want to be a part of the science that's trying to map brains to computers, interpreting synapses with machine learning and using algorithms to model neural circuits. look closely at how information is processed by the brain, and maybe even try to analyze those heuristics to understand myself a bit better. my excuse is that i'm too dumb and not good enough at chemistry. i just can't commit. who knows, maybe i'll regret this fear of mine forever. i wanted to hear about your unsung passions, too

>>270 Yup, probably I would do the same. Honestly, a lot of people see it as wrong and a bad way of living, but if you already have money, a own house, and comfort... There is nothing wrong on it. Of course I wouldn't be a hikikomori. I would do exercises and go to a café or something. I'm already very used to being alone, but sometimes I imagine having a GF. The problem is that NEET girls are pure psyops

I would study applied metaphysics aka magic been reading the traditionalist school guenon, schuon, coomaraswamy, evola and evola's books on magic seem pretty cool, buddhist magic also seems pretty cool

>>302 Buddhist magic?

>>302 >I would study applied metaphysics aka magic You know it takes alot of beleif and faith for atheism when all new atheists do even on imageboard boards is regurgitate what their group or favorite atheist says.

>>

>>268 >what would you dedicate your life to studying? why does it fascinate you? Difficult question for me. I believe I'd like to just study anything like philosophy, mathematics, religion and new atheism (even if it's shallow minded anyways) ect. It would just be fun to play video games I suppose and programming if money wasn't a problem or really any academic field.

I'm thinking about going back to learning Japanese, but I'm not sure whether I should or not. Already studied Japanese for like 3 years on and off until stuff happened in real life and I had to stop. However, the situation changed and I might be able to get back into it. Back then I read a few easy manga and a VN, although with the assistance of tools to look up vocabulary. While that might sound good, I still felt like I was years away from reading without tools or being anywhere close to fluency. Why did I want to learn? I did a trip to Japan in 2015 and I fucking loved it, I wanted to learn Japanese for my next trip and maybe even work there. Of course there were also a few untranslated games and manga etc. I wanted to consume. Nowadays I'm not really dreaming of living in Japan anymore and most of the games I wanted to learn Japanese for actually got a translation, and yet I still want to learn the language for the sake of it. I mean, being able to read these moonrunes is satisfying in its own way, but I might not really benefit THAT much from knowing it. What do you think? Should I study Japanese again, despite like I said I might not benefit that much from knowing it, considering it takes a lot of time and energy to do so? I tried to forget it, but ever since I quit, every time I see Japanese writing I feel bad for quitting.

>>

>>209 Not OP, but I just recently resumed learning japanese again

>>

>>259 Good luck! How's it going for you so far? I would like to know your methods of learning

>>

My only advice is you either commit fully or don't. The main problem with starting and stopping a commitment like learning a language is until you reach a certain point it's not equivalent to riding a bike, and the time it gets to riding a bike is when you are at 5 years in. When you stop and start again you lose skill and will take a while to get back in the eb and flow of learning; this is the exact reason people can take a Secondary Language Class for a year or 2 yet a few years later only remember snippets. I do wish you luck if you try to

>>

>>265 For now, just learning more kanji and vocabulary words and reviewing the ones I know Currently, I don't have much time for applying myself studying, but I want to start organizing my notes and study by the book My goal is to achieve JLPT N3 next year

solution make sentence cards: https://arbyste.github.io/jp-mining-note-prerelease/ Most frequently used N words % of written Japanese 1,000 75% 2,000 80% 3,000 85% 6,000 90% 10,000 93% 15,000 95% 32,000 98% 50,000 99% also keep in mind you will need to know grammar and typical ways of expressing things. imabi and cure dolly are good resources for grammar

The Busy Beaver function is a function that takes n as a number of states and returns the maximum finite number of ones that a 2-symbol turing machine with that number of states could produce. This pdf (https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/bb.pdf) is the current (as of 2020) state of knowledge on this function. update from 2022: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=6673

>>

Minor correction: the busy beaver actually takes 2 numbers in the form BB(n,m), with n being the number of states and m being the number of symbols. Of course, BB(n,2) is the best studied of these.

This is something that would be posted on mathchan.

If yall remember the marioplex from like a while ago that GT made, that number was big, but younger me around that time tried to calculate a bigger number called the RocketPlex, based on how many items you can get in Rocket League if you buy the collector's edition. I think I made mistakes in my math back then so, I wanna try again... should I? and if I do... should I send it to a Math institute or smth??

>>

You should do it, they're waiting

>>

>>261 Interesting but do it for something else instead of Rocket League

>>

>>263 (OP here with different IP Address) Do you got any ideas on what games I should do outside of Rocket League?

What's your favorite branch of science? Most things chemistry related has always seemed fascinating to me

Chem is pretty cool but I sucked really bad at it when I had a class on it in uni But I'm pretty good at physics

>>

>>196 What field of physics specifically?

>>

>>193 Computer science, although is it the same kind of science? Most sciences is trying to find out something, while computer science is trying to make the computer do something

>>210 Usually when people say "science" they're talking about the natural/empirical sciences, so no not the same type of science. Computer science feels like it belongs to the same category as math and logic.
