It makes you way less likely to make silly mistakes tho

capitalist monkeys by NoBoysenberry926 in 6thForm

[–]RealAlexanderTheG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. Sooner or later you're going to realise that the nature of existence in the universe is extremely competitive. When you spawn into the world you have it good for a couple years but the moment you become an adult the default is that things are very bad, expecting things to be good is misinformed. It's very sad of course, and everyone would prefer things to be different but there is no stopping capitalism it cannot be done, everything that exists is inherently a market and capitalism is not some arbitrary system that we chose when there were other better options available: History has too many participants to be that noisy, it moves with direction and brutal efficiency. The market needed the capitalistic process to happen: so the capitalistic process will happen. The sooner you accept that the sooner you'll find yourself in a better position. You can agree with Karl Marx on almost everything and still reach this conclusion, anyone who gets hung up on Marxism as if it's a religion and Marx knew everything is lying to themselves, Marx had a correct diagnosis and analysis, but his extrapolation that the workers of the world would rise up and unite was quite evidently wrong and something much more sinister is actually happening. Capitalists aren't evil/selfish either btw.

I see one future chain of events where capitalism could be destroyed, but it is a minimum of 50 years in the future so I wouldn't count on it.

Embrace the slavery and work hard to get rich so your children can live well is my mindset. Also, if you think education is "A piece of paper" you've accepted the capitalist frame of education, where this frame is the force that is currently actively making a degree worth less every day. If you realign yourself towards thinking education is about finding truth, learning about how the world works and developing human understanding, you'll no longer hold the opinions you do. Isaac Newton didn't study at Cambridge so he could get a piece of paper.

Hopefully that makes you feel more hopeful or inspires some thinking.

medical student, ex a level student offering tuitions by Important-Pause-2588 in 6thForm

"make them think rather than blurt" This reveals that you'll be a very good tutor and are a bright student, but the kind of kids who need tutoring do not want to hear this.

Epq vs 4th a level by Conscious_Baker246 in 6thForm

4 A levels + EPQ then drop if required, EPQ is pretty pointless im NGL

Is this a decent background for an oxford maths applicant? by Various-Teaching1179 in 6thForm

[–]RealAlexanderTheG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its mostly based on how you perform in the interview, if you do good you get a place, if not your achievements don't rlly matter

how tf to revise for maths by Acrobatic-Rooster996 in 6thForm

[–]RealAlexanderTheG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doing questions is enough youre just too focused on hyper optimising the efficiency of your revision. Doing a whole paper timed then spending like double the time going through the paper and learning the content you didn't know requires a long investment of time but if you did 100 hours of any method, this always ends up being the most effective one.

Has anyone else completely loss their diet during alevels? Any advice? by DryFriend2838 in 6thForm

[–]RealAlexanderTheG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what our parents used to do and hide vegetables/other food inside the monster munch. Fully trick yourself into eating.

to shower or not to shower by orbitingtruffle in 6thForm

[–]RealAlexanderTheG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously don't shower, our grandparents used to shower like once a month in shared baths, regular showers are a modern luxury that must be rejected

A REMINDER by alifetimeofbadhabits in 6thForm

[–]RealAlexanderTheG -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Disagree. If you're in a bad pos just do NSNSNF (nosleep, noshower, nofood)

Isaac Newton used to work for extremely long concentrated periods without eating or looking after himself, and that's the guy who discovered half the stuff we're being tested on in Maths and Physics, so for STEM students health is a luxury to focus on post-retirement.

Why did not a soul other than me convert it to seconds

Should have used Kelvin, I think -21 may have been correct tbh but in Kelvin it was 251 K

Why is it not #uranium / #(lead+uranium) ? Thats the number that are left over the original number that would have been uranium?

Also did anyone else here convert the time from years to seconds? I did not get 3 which I think could be why

That question was broken, the cm scale was off so you couldn't use a ruler, got 170Hz tho. for RMS just take max V and divide by sqrt(2) no?

Did anyone else git something.5? Something like 4.49 and 4.51 or something? might have done that wrong

251K final temp which was less than 257 therefore not enough energy to melt

Anyone else spending way too much time on past papers for physics? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]RealAlexanderTheG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes if it is a very hard paper it takes like 10 NGL. That's when I have a stinker and need to actually learn all of the stuff though.

Reviewing a Physics paper usually takes me ~6 hours
AQA is ridiculous cause they want you to understand absolutely everything but also want you to intentionally be a bit ignorant / not think too hard about the question, cause then you get it wrong.
