Oddbean new post about login | logout Every technology ever invented. Every war ever won. Every disease ever cured. Every bridge ever built. Every battle ever fought. Every step up the ladder of science was all in the hope that a beautiful woman would look at the man who accomplished the feat in this way. Precisely at the moment he entered her. You may not like it, but accept it. https://image.nostr.build/4742675bc9987fe815627fb433f9c6acf54dfc543466d2b2ee035c8883df2856.jpg
True
And to be honest, we are only here for your female ability to multiply lives.
Here for and here because of the female ability to multiply lives.
That's kind of a two person job, no?
Exactly. But there is no way to multiply being Y + Y, right?!
Plus every workout ever undertaken https://m.primal.net/JGHv.jpg
Or…..just be her Uncle
Imagining that women care one iota about your step up the ladder of science is peak nerd hopium, and a good way to ensure that you die without ever experiencing that moment. Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just presenting the facts 🤷🏼♂️
It’s sooo fucking true https://m.primal.net/JGJq.mov
That’s Jon Snow’s aunt though… lol
Primitive and timeless motivation. It is unhealthy for society to ignore this.
Simply not true. I'd agree with "Most" Google Perelman, there are many more who do science for the sake of science, not to impress anyone.
Humans are biological creatures. Everything we do relates back to survival and evolutionary fitness in one way shape or form. No one is immune from this biological reality.
Such a HODL goalpost move
Is it tho?
"Every [technology/war/bridge/battle] was all in the hope that a beautiful woman would look at the man who accomplished the feat in this way. Precisely at the moment he entered her." became "Everything we do relates back to survival and evolutionary fitness in one way shape or form." so yes, you absolutely moved the goal post like 100 miles
I’m confused. Do you think sex is somehow not about evolutionary fitness and survival?
No. I'm saying you jumped from proximate cause to distal cause. When the above commenter brought up scientists "who do science for the sake of science, not to impress anyone", you were like "oh i didn't mean they were doing it because they themselves were trying to get laid - i only said exactly that, but i didn't mean it."
I get thats what you think I said, but it’s not what I said.
Oh i think i get it now. You're saying the celibate scientists are indeed still just trying to get laid. So in that case you didn't move the goal posts.
