This is why I never succeeded at math. Like why does this shit work?? How can people just take a problem and be like, nah I’m going to just throw numbers all over the place and reassemble them in all sorts of ways and get an answer somehow…
I can’t just memorize arbitrary nonsense that “just is” I need to know how it works or it never sticks and all the math I’ve ever been taught was just “memorize this arbitrary nonsense and regurgitate a specific formula for a specific application that we’ve spent 0 time explaining other than telling you to memorize it. You want proofs and you can’t get proofs until advanced college courses” well guess I’ll just never understand mathematical manipulation then…
I feel like 50/50 school failed me and I failed at math.
All I can say is The Big Brain Economists have said that “the labor value theory is absolutely bunk and has no basis in reality.” Along with “only marxists believe this drivel.”
I’m not A Big Brain or an economist so I can’t say why they say these things, but I have seen a lot of pushback on this concept. I think it all comes down to the “agreement” we make when we accept a job, not that we have a choice. “Not working” is only an option for those that are already rich.
Man I’d swim to Europe if some company wants to swoop me up and train me for something that valuable lol here in the States I have to not only pay for the training out the nose, but also find the time to do that while still working my regular job lol
There is one very specific feeling I’ve experienced “in my brain” and it’s the exact same feeling when I either take anti depression/anxiety medication and when I take something like acid or mushrooms, it feels like an “overload” of sorts, like there’s too much sensory input and I can “feel” it in my head.
People say “if there’s a god then why do these people live forever consequence free?”
I actually think it’s proof of a god. If you read the Bible he’s an absolute monster, a real piece of shit. That tracks with the worst of us getting the longest lives lol
And an alternate comic where the responses are “not this week, it’s them over there this week. We’ll get that movie next week, but if you want to watch it 2 weeks from now you have to go to that 3rd guy over there.”
