The fake intelligence epidemic

[RichCoopersRoomate]

i just realized this had to have been like a classmate or someone close to you right? i thought ts was an edit or something at first

wdym?

 

[proxxyy11]

@Alienmaxxer @RichCoopersRoomate what are ur guys' majors? curious as fuck

i'm assuming math tho

 

[proxxyy11]

wdym?

120 likes on the video, slideshow as if it's a dump, and hid the name/pfp

it's someone u know personally right?

I'm a math masters student rn, tho have done physics research. Are u in uni still?

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"

View attachment 5276667
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

View attachment 5276668

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.

@imontheloose @Wicket

so many wanna be smart guys nowadays, if only they knew what real intelligence was aka me…

yea, i'm a junior phil major in uni

oh no I dont know the guy, I just dont want this fucker to get a single ounce of attention which he so desperately wants

The dude is just another math larper trying to look high iq

way better than wanting to be good looking imo, at least these people contribute something to society to some extent

physics

wishing u the best of luck on ur academics

 

[proxxyy11]

physics

i was actually going to study astrophysics, then i realized that i was most likely too retarded to maintain a 4.0 with that major

are u still in undergrad?

is ur avi from usugoi

 

[Alienmaxxer]

yea, i'm a junior phil major in uni

Analytic u mentioned? Ive read some and know some logic from math logic classes, but im more well-read on continental tbh.

is ur avi from usugoi

Yeah gambling manga is peak

 

[Brava]

Not in highschool this is university level so it depends on what and if you decide to study

Yea

 

[subhuman37]

true but they’re all talk, they larp high iq and then proceed to rot 24/7 and not involve in any activity that requires their brain

 

[RichCoopersRoomate]

i was actually going to study astrophysics, then i realized that i was most likely too retarded to maintain a 4.0 with that major

are u still in undergrad?

yea Im in undergrad, I havent rigorously studied differential geometry but I know how to derive the geodesic equation because I learned some tensor calculus and some relativity

 

[proxxyy11]

Analytic u mentioned? Ive read some and know some logic from math logic classes, but im more well-read on continental tbh.

yeah i absolutely love analytical philosophy, only reason because i love maths and it makes me feel more intellectual - so basically for my ego jfl

i force myself to take continental classes so i can fulfill my major requirements, but i genuinely fucking despise it, if i could just study logic for the rest of my life and never touch any other subject/field i'm doing it 100%

 

[Slayer]

this whole thread was inspired by op wanting to flex that he just learned what the chain rule is in calc 2

 

[proxxyy11]

wishing the best of luck to u and ur career <3

u sound very smart regardless, so i don't think you need the luck

what are you planning on eventually doing? phd and delay unemployment? jk

 

[RichCoopersRoomate]

analytic philosophy is for nerds who are trying to run away from Hegel

op is a true knowledgeable intellect making fun of pseuds

actually I learned the chain rule in calc 1 I'll have you know

 

[RichCoopersRoomate]

idk tbh, Im figuring stuff out

 

[Slayer]

Idk I took the retard version of calc 1

i had a mental breakdown a couple of days ago because i genuinely didn't know what i wanted to do ngl

 

[RichCoopersRoomate]

you had a mental break down because you cope with analytic philosophy so you can avoid Hegel

 

[brielarsonbf]

what is calculus

ask newton and leibniz

 

[Alienmaxxer]

you had a mental break down because you cope with analytic philosophy so you can avoid Hegel

U namedropping hegel to sound smart is like OP post namedropping geodesics to sound smart

 

[Alienmaxxer]

I'm doing my thesis on machine learning, planning on getting an internship in that space and capitalizing on the AI boom.

 

[RichCoopersRoomate]

Its relevant because analytic philosophy was (in part) inspired out of a rejection of Hegel

so you're nearing the end of your masters program, right?

shouldn't you have an internship already lined up after you graduate, though?

 

[Alienmaxxer]

Hegel followers in 19th c germany are like the epitome of this post, just a bunch of people that have no idea what this nigga is talking about glazing him to sound smart because he writes in dense illegible gobbledygook. And then they all talk back and forth in the terminology having no idea what the other is saying LARPing. Just complete normies LARPing to sound high iq.

Meanwhile Hegel scholars alive today don't even agree on basic claims about his philosophy.

It's a two year masters, I'll be searching in the fall.

ur not wrong, but how tf do you actually know that?

are you just well-versed in most subjects?

wishing the best of luck to u, but i'm sorta confused. what do u think u want to eventually work as? do u have any clue? or are u just still finding ur way

his language is nearly incomprehensible, this is one of the major problems with continental philosophy which sparked the rise of analytic philosophy. Its hard to know what alot of these fuckers are even saying kek

"act only according to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law" kant couldve just said "dont be a hypocrite"

Its true that Hegelian scholars dont even agree on what his philosophy actually was but this is a common problem throughout much of continental philosophy. The dude in my avi(Jean Luc Marion) believes that Descartes being a dualist is actually a misreading of him.

Hegel is(in a sense) the pinnacle of this problem and which is why analytic philosophy is seen as being a reaction to Hegel.

 

[Alienmaxxer]

Like I said, I'll hopefully be working in machine learning, as an engineer or researcher (depending on what I can score).

The only reason I know that is cause I tried to read the phenomenology of spirit once and then gave up cause I couldn't understand it

and then I went online to see if other people had this problem to cope

It doesn't help that the preface is one of the hardest parts of the whole book. I had to read the preface multiple times to get a sense of what he meant, which was still vague asf.

One of the biggest suggestions when it comes to trying to understand Hegel is to read Fichte and Schelling first. No clue how much that helps though since I haven't read them.

@proxxyy11 may know since hes a philosophy major

I read some Fichte before I tackled it, specifically his Science of Knowledge (I think it was called), though I never finished it because he makes a big leap to get to his thesis antithesis synthesis which left me unconvinced. Schelling I never touched.
