If my pet wanted to, he could solve all the open problems in math during a coffee break in record time - Dreckssau - 15-01-2026
And he could take all the money and quit the law profession. But the unthankful mass of humanity is not worth even the little effort it takes him to do something so beyond even the most capable of the rest. So, he would rather spend that time listening to a Britney Spears tune from the 2000's.

jokes aside, i decided to go for law instead of pure math because i thought i didnt have what it takes to actually contribute. high iq trait ridden move, imo

I guess maths requires a brain totally dedicated and in love with the mathematical process above everything else, similar to how an artist needs to be totally in love with his projects. It's not enough to just be good at math. Or it is, if your main goal is to become a high school teacher.

#1 reason i decided to drop that shit. i know way too many "intelligent" guys with a thing for math who ended up teaching 8 yos how to add and multiply 2-digit numbers. no fucking thanks

It is Wittgenstein-pilled to do that, though.

He literally taught maths to 8 year olds. I thought you were a Wittgenstein fan for some reason.

He was a madman and looked like one. His biography is surreal. The school headmaster part of his life is the craziest episode.
But at least my memory didn't fool me and I correctly remembered you having Wittgenstein pfp's back in the days.
