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.

>>268 Same thing I'm studying now

Recently I've been getting the feeling every time I read that I'm missing out on a lot of what the book has to say. Are you guys constantly analyzing and asking questions while you read or do you just kind of take it all in? I read for pleasure first and foremost so I think I'll keep going at my own pace but I can't help but feel there is much more to it...

you guys read books?

>>475 Once in a while

>>474 If you primarily read fiction then I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you have a specific reason why you're approaching it academically. However if you're reading nonfiction with intent to learn, and you struggle to digest what you're reading, then I recommend taking notes. As an example, write a paragraph or list of bullet points outlining the themes and purpose of each chapter. You don't need to remember every sentence of a book but this method helps me retain the important stuff.

reading macbeth which is my first shakespeare and i can already see the genius in this work. the way the witches tell macbeth and banquo something true and arguably good and yet it's an ill omen merely because they told him. if they hadn't told him anything, there'd be no problem.

>>23 Causing a little bit of paranoia here, aren't we?

absolutely nothing.

Today I learned how to use an impact drill and screw a TV mount into brick. Very dusty...

I learned about Misskey and Sharkey. It looks like Mastadon but with a cleaner UI and more functions.

>>464 No surprising Misskey was made by a nipponese man ww

>>447

>>447 Excited to use it once it's done Hikarin

>>114 i know dutch, arabic (hassaniya) and am improving my MSA i have been wanting to learn thai but it's been an on and off relationship, the tones were fun to learn and surprisingly not difficult to master but am a lazy piece of shit

>>455 >>448 I'm back! Unfortunately, for now it's hosted on a free hosting . But that's just temporary! http://2chan.vip/

I was self-learning Russian for a bit but I am nowhere able to construct more than a few basic sentences. Now I'm unsure whether I want to continue or learn Spanish instead. I know some people close to me who speak Spanish themselves and it seems more practical with how widely spoken it is. I'm indecisive.

>>410 What exactly do researchers do on a day to day basis?

Hikarin, nobody here is smart enough to be part of a research group.

>>432 Read papers, interpolate a research project between the most recent papers, design an experiment, run the experiment, write up a paper, repeat.

>>42 an example: >while he did a thing, he(same person) did another thing vs >while he did a thing, he(different person) did another thing but imagine those parens were case markers

>>43 I see now thank you very much. very intresting

>>28 I'm too drunk to talk about linguistics but I dropped out of a masters in this so I know more about anyone else in this thread AMA

>>431 Are there features you think English is missing compared to other languages? What about features it could do without?

i will be majoring in political science. i want to be one of those people who write papers all day

Currently in 2nd year of BS Information Technology; graduating by the end of 3rd Year. I only got 2 GitHub projects, both of which are crappy and nothing to show for. I don't know whether to apply for an internship early, or wait for the school to offer/assign one for us.

>>388 >I only got 2 GitHub projects i relate to this so so much. do companies usually want 5+?

>>335 My luck was against me when I picked my uni because they never told us we would need to grind certificates or show off some github as portfolio. I never had any well untill I finished my master's

>>389 Jobbing at a tech interview is a bigger concern and would invalidate even 10 projects

>>330 hi math-anon. do you have any book recs for real variables that aren't rudin? it's extremely terse and dry and doesn't really motivate much it covers so i want to supplement it i was thinking of going through apostol or abbot but neither seem to cover lebesgue theory or multivariable functions as far as i know

Does any anon know some resources for learning biology ?

>>371 what level of biology?

>>371 Depends on what you're looking for, but OpenStax textbooks are always a good place to start. https://openstax.org/subjects/science They have highschool level bio, college level bio, and microbiology textbooks available for free.

good luck op!

Caracals are cute & pretty interesting While they're wild animals I would love to keep one as a pet They're pretty aggressive, but it makes for good house security The ears kind of remind me of bat ears

An Axolotl which can regenerate lost limbs like its spinal cord, even parts of its heart of brain

Lyrebirds can mimic a large range of sounds like other living beings, but also make mechanical sounds

Pistol shrimp can shoot water bullets so fast that they heat up to 4500°C (4 times the temperature lava) and create a loud 218dB shockwave Their bullets are so loud that WWII sonars confused them with enemy ships
