Read into Benford’s Law if you want to learn some trippy shit about natural number data in the universe. Not to go all “we live in a simulation”, but something beyond our comprehension is lined up like beads on an abacus
Is there such a thing as an existential crisis, but like, in a nice way? That's what it feels like trying to process this kind of information. It's fascinating.
Beyond it being found in things beyond human control like the size of stars and the number of grains of sand on beaches, this is actually one method tax governing bodies use to find tax evasion. With all the entries on someone’s tax forms, the first digits naturally follow Benford’s law. If they analyze someone’s tax entries and they skew wildly, that person has almost certainly flubbed their numbers.
I personally played around with Benford’s law in music after reading [this](https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.06506) (sorry in advance for the scientific paper). From Western classical to traditional Japanese Samisen to frickin Freddy Mercury, something beyond human behaviour compels us to input a rule this strict into our freest forms of art.
That’s my rant about this deep dive
Isn’t benford’s law the effect that lower leading digits are generally more common for data sets that have entries spanning multiple orders of magnitude? It doesn’t seem to be that trippy to me imo, if you think abt it. For example, if you had a uniform distribution of numbers from 100-1000, you’d get a leading digit of 1 around 1/9th of the time, but if you had a uniform distribution of numbers from 100-2000, the leading digit would be 1 more than 50% of the time. Combine that with standard distributions and it seems a pretty reasonable result.
Why did you say the same thing twice? /s
Sometimes I like to look at the weird symbols and graphs in math especially when I don't know what it means https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Roque-Corral/publication/360094522/figure/fig3/AS:[email protected]/Geometrical-explanation-of-3D-vortical-velocity-boundary-conditions-in-the-complex-plane_Q320.jpg
"The wisest men on earth are horrible at math" removed any doubt from my mind or inclination to give this moron the benefit of a doubt.
Edit: JFC, as a non-native speaker, I didn't even realise what "Pajeets" and "Joo's" meant until pointed out by others. This guy is a lot worse than just an insecure moron.
Nope. Racist. Racist against Indians and Jews. And since when is race only dependent on skin color? I expected Canadian education to be better than this lmao
I hope you dropped this -> /s
If not as soon as you a group soul-less (I'm assuming "Joos" is a not so sneaky way of saying jews) then I stop caring about being insensitive.
I was also confused by this and by "Joos" because I thought it was a stretched version of "Jo" (Joe). Couldn't figure out what Joo(e)s were. Then the racism clicked and I put it together.
No shame in being scared. There is in taking that fear and making it a weapon against others to avoid learning. I'm hoping you had a better experience eventually?
If we ever make contact with another form of sentient life, realistically they only way we are going to be able to start communicating with them is through math. It is a universal language and any species that has developed advanced technology and space travel will have to understand math and physics.
>If we ever make contact with another form of sentient life
They will take one look at us and decide we need to evolve socially for at least another 1,000 years before they come back.
Or any of the ancient philosophers they’re probably talking about. Then again, they probably just see the shitty right wing quotes about “embracing tradition” that they slap on to their pictures.
The only problem I have with math is that I’m bad at it and thus I can’t achieve my dream career in zoology. So more a problem with the college systems than actual math.
The people who claim not to be racist and/or that racism doesn’t exist also happen to be the same group of people who are using so many racist terms that I’m constantly learning new ones from them.
Pajeet. That shit is brand new to me. Even “Joo” is new to me. I’ve seen (((them))) and “globalists”, but that one to get around filters is new to me.
I think they got that backwards. The wisest people on earth are likely far better at math than me. Also math can be quite beautiful. If you think otherwise apparently you've never heard of the Golden Ratio. Also music is like 100% math paired with audible sounds.
People who study the intricate complexities of this world through science and mathematics are closer to understanding the concept of “God” more than these plebs ever will be. It makes the world MORE beautiful, not less beautiful.
I failed math so does that mean I’m the wasted person ever? Maynard not I’m trans and they’ll be like “YoU aRe GoInG tOo HeLl!” and “YoU aRe SoOoOo DuMb FoR dEsTrOyInG yOuR bOdY! GoD mAdE iT tHaT wAy FoR a ReAsOn!” So that will cancel my ‘very oh so wise not god at math’ godness out 💔
I’m sorry but I would MUCH rather believe in a gif that created a world that was systematic and organized like math and science explain. Does this chad want a god that’s bad at his job and slapped together some nonsense
This is the inverse of when I fuck up something basic and chalk it up to it being a gay thing.
I can't do math bc I'm gay - gays can't do math
Im not paying attention enough to know I can turn right now in traffic - gays can't drive, it must be it.
😮💨😔 We're all fuckin stupid inside & fuckin stupid has no race or ethnicity ✨
You know, the first two lines are actually something I would jokingly say because I’m bad at math and it rarely comes easily to me. But they reaaally lost me after that.
This post really got it all, racism, anti-intelectualism and religous zealotry in one incoherent take.
Narcissism too. "The wisest men are all bad at math" he's lumping himself in there
He managed to be so racist that I'm not even sure who he's trying to be racist against for one of the groups.
Reminds of something a friend said, you know the racism is bad when you have to look up the slurs
Sounds like he's up in his feelings about dollar store breakfast cereal. Idk it could go a few ways but I didn't spec that "wisdom".
And anti semetisn
Oh wow, I didn't even realize that "Joo's" was supposed to mean "Jews". I thought it was a slur against Korean people.
Just look at the creator of the theory of Big Bang or St.Thomas of Aquinas....
Don't tell him how much collective math it took to be able to send that message
Or do, he may stop using the internet and stop cursing us with stupidity.
I just learned about the discrete cosine transformation and I'm fascinated. The math of the internet is really interesting

Oh man, wait until you find out how Google's search algorithm works. I was so excited I talked about it for a year.

oh man, this was some of the hardest shit I had to learn in my life and I'm in my 30s. Switching careers ain't easy.
Oh I feel you. I'm taking engineering and my previous career was broadcasting.
Snap, crackle and pop in calculus kinda blew my mind too!
You beat me to the comment. I was going to throw in binary math but, I think you covered it. Well done!
*Flashbacks to my uni days having to calculate binary manually.* WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO THIS WHEN THERE ARE CALCULATORS?!
It ain't math, it just ones and zeros. Jeeze: I didn't even have to use all my fingers to figure that out...
Right? That's the part that always drives me freaking insane about these hateful idiots.
as a mathematician and devil worshipper, i have to agree

Just say you suck at math and keep it moving. Damn. No need for the extra shit
I'm shit at math but I've never felt the urge to be racist or antisemetic about it lol

[удалено]
How do you something so horrendously racist and just go "oh poor kid can't do substractions don't be mean to poor racist boy"
Your using the word racist out of context. Racism has to do with the color of your skin. Maybe you mean to use the word prejudice.
Nope. Racist. Racist against Indians and Jews. And since when is race only dependent on skin color? I expected Canadian education to be better than this lmao
The motherfucker actually typed "pajeets and joos". Did you miss that part?
I hope you dropped this -> /s If not as soon as you a group soul-less (I'm assuming "Joos" is a not so sneaky way of saying jews) then I stop caring about being insensitive.
>soulless vessels I'd say the real soulless one here is the one that doesn't regard other people as fully human.
Pajeets??
I had to look that one up. Apparently it's a racist term for people from India.
Right. Fuck me.
I was also confused by this and by "Joos" because I thought it was a stretched version of "Jo" (Joe). Couldn't figure out what Joo(e)s were. Then the racism clicked and I put it together.
Yeah I figured that was some weak attempt at anti semitism, but just couldn’t figure what the other could be.
Yeah idk if it was Anti-Semitic or racist against East Asian people since Joo can be a Korean last name I think.
That's a lot of words for "I'm bad at math and therefore scared of it"
“And also a racist.”
And that!
[удалено]
No shame in being scared. There is in taking that fear and making it a weapon against others to avoid learning. I'm hoping you had a better experience eventually?
Carol, are you on drugs? This is not a boy, it's a grown ass man, and a racist one at that. What exactly are you justifying here?
The glorification of stupidity.
Trump incarnate. Remember bleach? Suicide would also have killed the virus but sort of defeats the point.
Well, if the point was cleaning out the gene pool, mission accomplished.
That's a lot of talk out of someone whose head looks like a fucking cube

I’m betting he thinks aliens are demonic too
But haven’t we already made contact with other forms of sentient life on Earth?
Just say you failed at math
>The wisest men on Earth are horrible at math. It’s against their worldview Guess OP has never heard of Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking.
Or any of the ancient philosophers they’re probably talking about. Then again, they probably just see the shitty right wing quotes about “embracing tradition” that they slap on to their pictures.
“Demonic” is a special code word that means “Stop listening to me.”
It makes a lot of sense that someone like that would call “understanding the world around you” evil.
Don’t tell them how money works
But putting yourself shirtless for random strangers to see if just fine. I'm sure counting his ''reps'' is too.
This person really needs to eat some humble pi.
Dude called Jesus soulless. 😱
I take offense to this! I’m Jewish and suck at anything past intro to calculus
Republican getting a little ahead of the program.
Just say you're bitter about flunking algebra, damn.
Pythagoras: Guess I’ll just go fuck myself?
You ever see dem formulas and stuff? They look like witchcraft symbols. Checkmate you heathens.
STOP DOING MATH NUMBERS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN NAMES YEARS OF COUNTING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going higher than your FINGERS
The only thing demonic about math is when Satan decided to put letters into math problems requiring a numeric solution.
damn that is some poorly abstracted anisemitism right there
Wasn’t Matthew a tax collector and therefore very good at math? He wrote a gospel so…
Posted by a guy taking a selfie with his shirt off. I'm sold !/s/
So, can I use this as the reason I suck at math so much?
The only problem I have with math is that I’m bad at it and thus I can’t achieve my dream career in zoology. So more a problem with the college systems than actual math.
"...and that's why I havent paid my taxes for 10 years, your honor"
The world is literally made entirely of science and math.
They put a whole Book of Numbers in the Bible and he's still scared of math.
nah lol
I hate math. Despise it. I have dyscalculia. But wtf
777 is not just a lucky number it's also considered to be a godly number. But go off.
Number 311 in a series of arguments that never worked with my math teachers.
What's a Pajeet?
> What's a Pajeet? [It's a slur referring to Indians.](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pajeet)
It’s a Pajoo
Math is hard therefore the Devil
Bruh just say you’re dumb and move on lol
More words then you need to say you suck at math and are racist about it.
Alright I hate math as much as the next former Pre-calc honors student but this is pushing it.
I don't like maths but you couldn't make me say something is "demonic".
I’m absolutely dogshit at math and not wise or in any position to give life advice to others.
Hey look, not everyone loves math, but society can't live without it.
They're just salty they failed 3rd grade math
Conveniently forgets all the important theologians who worked heavily on math too
If God created the universe then wouldn't math be his programming language? How is that demonic when it's the language of creation?
Yet you participate in using math. Curious!
The people who claim not to be racist and/or that racism doesn’t exist also happen to be the same group of people who are using so many racist terms that I’m constantly learning new ones from them. Pajeet. That shit is brand new to me. Even “Joo” is new to me. I’ve seen (((them))) and “globalists”, but that one to get around filters is new to me.
"Let him who hath understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number"
If the wisest men are terrible at math, then I am the messiah.
This is stoopid.....
Thats a long winded way of saying you didnt pass the 2nd grade….
If math is so bad, this guy should stop using phones and computers and anything else that had math involved in its creation.
Tell me you failed math class without telling me you failed math class
2+2=6 cause you got one 2, another 2, and then both of those twos, which is the 3rd 2, and that adds up to 6
I think they got that backwards. The wisest people on earth are likely far better at math than me. Also math can be quite beautiful. If you think otherwise apparently you've never heard of the Golden Ratio. Also music is like 100% math paired with audible sounds.
Gives me big “Einstein dropped out of maths” vibe
Serious question, what's a "pajeet"?

mad bc your failing algebra 1
He should just say he’s dumb and math is hard for him. And how does he know all the wisest men on earth are horrible at math?

Best caption award!
Andrew Tate vibes
Someone didn't like math back in highschool
I can just picture this loser struggling with some basic math homework as he/she comes up with this mess of nonsense 😂🤦
mathematics is the closest we've come to god's handwriting
This is the inverse of when I fuck up something basic and chalk it up to it being a gay thing.

He should definitely take low tier god’s advice
A lot of symbolism in the Bible is done through numbers. This show a lack of understanding of their own faith.
It's only the universal language. You go anywhere in our grand universe and you will find math.
As a math hater myself I must agree with his statement /s but I do hate math
There are easier ways to say you’re bad at math
