The fake intelligence epidemic

[RichCoopersRoomate]

Theres this epidemic of people trying to larp mathematics in order to flex their iq. This dude made a post about how he "derived" the geodesic equation but he did it in the most convoluted and complex way possible. "muh 6 hour derivation"

no joke you literally can derive this exact equation if you know the chain rule and product rule in less than 2 minutes by setting the derivative to 0. Henry taking calculus 1 could unironically derive this equation. Here it is I wrote it for u

of course he chose the most complex way possible and people in the replies not knowing any better thought he was actually smart or something.


Also this dude is acting like he discovered the derivation himself and didnt just ask chatgpt to copy the derivation onto a document to larp iq on tiktok fags

This is a repeated situation with these "math tiktokers" they never actually solve any problems and show their work in order to prove they have any actual knowledge on what they talk about. They only copy results from wikipedia and will intentionally use the most complicated way or arriving at the result in order to appear smart.

bro him putting "six hour derivation" is genuinely frying me

dude wanted so badly to be glazed

what is calculus

water, but cool looking nonetheless

I have to do this in class in the future btw

small stones

sorry idk what that is but I just learned how to do a really hard math problem the pythagreen theorum i think thats how u spell it

 

[oxiwoxi]

Damn lol, people forget how great of a virtue being humble and truthful is

if you major in mathematics or physics then most likely yes assuming you go to grad school

 

[imontheloose]

calculus is cool but any1 who has done any physics whatsoever will hv done it to ad nausaeum

"6 hour derivation btw"

the 6 hour derivation in question

Nah not me

computational math is mogged to the slums by proof based math tbh

 

[Wicket]

Im not smart enough to do any sorts of maths or science so im cooked lmao
