/aca/ - Academic Topics

I would dedicate my life to studying math so I can discover an equation and give it a funny name Actually though, I do find math really interesting and fun when I understand it, so that's my first choice. I just can't cause while I'm pretty decent at math, I have no idea how to look past things I was taught in school.

>>268 i would probably just find out a way to make enough money fast enough to be a shut-in NEET forever. there's nothing i'm super passionate about that i'd want to spend my entire life studying it, so i'd rather have enough free time to try different things for fun (from the comfort of a very cold room) to answer this question seriously, i guess music, art, coding, and voice acting, since i really want to make a game, and i have a very specific vision for it, so i'd have to have a hand in every aspect of the production.

I would want to study everything and accumulate all of human knowledge from math and physics to history and philosophy and even non-academic topics like art and music. It's something I'm already trying to achieve anyways but unfortunately I'm not a 300 IQ immortal being so it'll never actually happen so my current focus is math because it's what interests me most. >>269 >I have no idea how to look past things I was taught in school. The best way is to start with a book that goes over logic and proofs since they're going to be a massive part of "advanced math". Daniel Velleman's book "How to prove it" is my recommendation. Velleman also goes over some set theory which is good. After that you can go through over a book on real analysis (I recommend Stephen Abbott's book on analysis) or abstract algebra (I recommend Charles Pinter) depending on what you'd like more because math kind of becomes more of a tree where you can choose what to study after you've gone over the foundations. I'm also assuming that you remember everything from school up to calculus so if you want a refresher you can read Serge Lang's book "Basic Mathematics" and Spivaks's Calculus Book.

>>268 I would dedicate my time to learn about low level computing, aeuronautical and military sciences, and military history. I've been fascinated with these topics for quite some time but I can't dedicate all my time to them. I would also love to learn more about math.

>>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.
