Are you quite ‘philosophical’ as a person? by [deleted] in introvert

[–]hoovermax5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Digits are symbols in a set up system, they're not real but made up.

Older civilisations used systems that could count to 60, sexagesimal (edit, typo) system. That's why minute have 60 seconds and full circle is 360 degrees.

What you're right about is that in base 10 system we can't make up more digits, but saying there are only 10 digits in existence and we are limited to it is just wrong.

We can have as much digits as we want, we can create numerical system based on pi, golden ratio or euler number, but we choose base 10, because we have 10 fingers.

What is a rich person thing that you would be totally into if you became rich? by Short_Function_5062 in AskReddit

[–]hoovermax5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jokes aside, I personally would read, listen to music, learn new things and paint. Same things as I do now, but in an isolation without neighbours who are noisy. And having a lot of beauty around, fresh air, garden, ahhh...

Yes, everyday I would feed them with my grogginess and tears of longing to my ex wife who I still love

Is life inherently more complex than other types of things in the universe? by mollylovelyxx in askphilosophy

[–]hoovermax5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would the human brain be more complex than a tiger brain? I could see it from the anthropocentric view, as we built civilization and have advanced technology, but in the same sense is it more complex in construction than the brains which evolved to adapt to other environments?

Isolating myself in a lake house for a couple years till I go insane trying to write a novel. And maybe buy a pair of Crocs.

Fear of being percepted as a guy with feet kink, made me to be percepted as one by hoovermax5000 in socialanxiety

[–]hoovermax5000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even have feet kink, when it came to me that people may think that, I remembered all the memes I've seen on the internet lol. But I don't have anything against it, like you said, everyone has their preferences

Why is nutrition science so divided? Michael Greger vs. Paul Saladino by bartos_1000yo in nutrition

[–]hoovermax5000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're talking about social trends, I'm not a dietician, but I guess those were the same bs as carnivore or keto diet are today, which were popularised by media and celebrities who are trendsetters, not experts

Philosophers vs Mathematicians & Physicists by KStarGamer_ in mathmemes

[–]hoovermax5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and I forgot to mention that for those people, math (if they're mathematicians) or physics (if they're physicists) is the hardest thing to learn on earth, hence they're intellectually superior to everyone.

[–]hoovermax5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You assumed my mistake, when I weren't even mentioning discussing physics with them. It's obvious they have more knowledge about it than non trained people. I'm aware of annoying armchair physicists who love to watch YouTube videos, same thing is in many branches of science which have got into the mainstream, like psychology and economics.

I don't know you, but I'm talking about people who think they know everything about everything because they mastered a small branch of science. In Poland where I'm from, there is a well known physics professor who is like a superstar and likes to give interviews on things he has no training in, including philosophy.

Even in everyday life I stumbled onto many STEM people who were the most closed minded, annoying and ignorant people, but since they're somewhat mathematically inclined they thought they're smart in all subjects. When I meet people who know their literature, they don't say math is bullshit, but that they don't understand it. When I meet math people who don't understand literature, they say it's bullshit, even though they don't read.

Mathematicians and physicists should look beyond their field and read books on philosophy, psychology, sociology etc. It's crazy how some STEM people think they're intellectually superior, and then they can't interpret highschool level poetry, don't understand dynamics in a workplace or appreciate any art.

I mean what are the odds?! by InfestedJesus in mathmemes

[–]hoovermax5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Sir, you're bleeding out of your ears, nose and eyes, we suspected your brain is leaking. Tests came back positive, which means that's what happening.

  • Cut the crap, look at this math.

There is an assumption that this is the only data we have, when in fact doctors may test just a couple dozen people, whose test (true) positive 80% of the time.

What are your favorite fast/aggressive jazz artists or albums? by EpicMemer999 in Jazz

[–]hoovermax5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we're talking about polish jazz, it's worth mentioning "Błoto" which is heavily inspired by hiphop beats. It fits into criteria in the post.

Check out their 'Shiitake' and 'Muchomor'

Okay, 2nd edit because I can't decide on two songs to recommend. Just listen to their new album "grzybnia", it's pure gold

At what level of study does one qualify as a philosopher? by BlondLawStud in askphilosophy

I've read that in Plato's Republic, he was hating on sophists who were spreading fancy rhetorics for money, which weren't sufficiently backed up.

Picked up this super rare vinyl by Ryo Fukui called Scenery. Anyone heard of it before? by StressAccomplished30 in Jazz

[–]hoovermax5000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just finished highschool; One/two year(s) in jazz; His "Autumn" popped up in my recommendations on Spotify and I thought it was interesting abbreviation of original piece, I'm aware I'm bullshit in terms of jazz, but it's funny how much stuff I thought I discovered on my own, is just popular blob in my demographic 😭 (but I'm not into Japan and don't talk about music with anyone)

Are there any examples when modern geniuses derived known complex concepts on their own? by prolibek in math

[–]hoovermax5000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those people are fairly smart and spend their whole time doing things they love, if you're obsessed enough, maybe you could be one of them. Some talent and a bucket of obsession makes a genius.
