my parents can't take the time offa work :(
and PLANE TICKETS ARE A THOUSAND DOLLARS
i'm trying to uh see how much the best plane tickets are

$2165
nvm
$2663
two layovers
Back just got clothes on
one in seattle the other one in japan
priorities
i think the philippines could have some improvements on like modernize every town and province and keep the agricultural nature of the mountain regions
the only problem is overpopulation
jesus
116M people
yea lemme search
at least it's not bangladesh
imagine bangladesh
nah nah
Uhm
imagine SINGAPORE
oh that's gonna cost a lot
would bring labor workforce
Yes but workforce of super-cities
yup yup
will boom
Yea
I have a good feeling
Its gonna improve
yeah lmao
youch
every country's government in a nutshell
what's a stable country
uh
north korea
jk
Switzerland
Very stable
i would not call switzerland a good government
their ruling party's logo was drawn by a child
Qtf
Oh that cool
Yes
semi-direct federal republic
Switzerland is maybe like the most democratic country in the world
real liberian government flag
They don't have indirect democracy
I have no idea what that is
Wtf? Thats real?
That sounds inefficient
Liberia?
african country
As long as corruption is low then things probably will work out
godly
semi-direct = has some aspects of a direct democracy, i.e. a lot of referendums
federal = government is structured as a federation of distinct polities (cantons, in the case of switzerland) rather than a single unitary government
republic = head of state and government officials are democratically elected (i.e. no monarchy, not even symbolic)
for comparison, the US is also a federal republic, but is not semi-direct
U from Switzerland btw nam?
no
Oh
U genius
anyway i would not consider switzerland's system particularly... good
i used to play a shit tonna games but cuz all the new games are dogshit and i got tired of the games i've played
direct democracy has its merits but
i don't play that many games
Multiplayer?
Wtf
And women?
Theyre prolly gonna vote u if u say youll pass a law that allows women to cheat
A previous referendum on women's suffrage was held on 1 February 1959 and was rejected by the majority (67%) of Switzerland's men. Despite this, in some French-speaking cantons women obtained the right to vote in local referendums.
Same same
Hes a prof maybe
@leaden torrent U a prof?
Sir
AAA
women cheating 🤮
i am not a prof
its so common here
aight aight
bruh every game's been getting so boring
True
and all i've been doing in the past couple of days is study math and watch
and doing summer reading can't forget that
ive been watching veritasium
Watch what?
play crystal project
i love that guy
and 3blue1brown
even though i don't know what he's talking about i like the smooth editing and models
True
Man those videos are a work of art
YESS
on god they are
i watch him for differential calculus and that's it
and limits and like the cool stuff he makes about the olympiads
or whatever's interesting he makes like that one video where he answered the hardest question on the putnam or that one where he compared two different people solving the same math problem
The one where he found the average shade of a cube was so cool
I remember watching it before i had learned linear algebra
And man it really showed how powerful linear algebra can be
what are the applications of linear algebra
You haven't had linear algebra I'm guessing
nahh
i just started on first semester calculus
There are a ton of them, but it kinda feels like a box of helpful tools for math in general
For example calculating the derivative
That's something that is a linear transformation
And that means you can describe it with a transformation matrix
So let's say I'd wanted to derivative something n times
Oh you know that?
it's just taking a derivative more than once right
Yeah
d^2y/dx^2
But that can be tedious to do sometimes
it's hell to do on paper
If you find the transformation matrix you can just multiply that with the a vector that like represents the equation
n times
Which is much easier to do
so is this learned after multivariable calculus
No you can learn it before
hmm
It's very straightforward and basically just depends on hs algebra
yeah i'll take the class sounds interesting
wait is it easier than calc
Ish maybe
is it just a form of algebra
Sometimes it's not as intuitive as calculus
And then it can be a bit more tedious to learn
Especially at the beginning
bruhhhh
i don't even think i need uh linear algebra for my future career
but yeah it seems like a cool class and i wanna take it
What career are you going for?
medicine but i think it's a bit early for me to think about that stuff
Cuz if you need calc then you probably need lin alg too
Ohh
Oh yeah nvm
Then i don't know
i'm just gonna hone my bio and chem skills lmao
Chem is hard
Yeah i have chem next year too
sick
kinda scared for chem but yeah i think it's chill
my brother got an A on that class so if he can pass it so can i
Oh in uni?
Oh yeah i got an A in hs chem too
Chem is neat, but ive heard uni chem is extremely difficult
I honestly don't know
general chem?
Think it's analytic chem
what is that
hello
Something that's a bit more theory heavy i think
Idk but i know one who is studying it
oh hell no
that sounds like hell
so is chemistry mostly math
or nah
or am i talking about physics
Yeah it's a lot of math
Yeah, but you gotta memorize a lot of stuff too
Physics doesn't really require as much memorization
is it just
Compared to chem
is physics just applied mathematics
uhh
yeah no physics is not just applied math
tell me the news
damn
physics has its own intricacies
whos oh shit someone /jk
But the foundation of physics is almost entirely just applied math?
what do u mean by foundation
I mean u need maths to like
prove something
@shrewd bobcat hey ya have like call of duty or something?
nope
Like what we base our observations on
used to play it
Of the real world
uninstalled it
Like simple acceleration force and mass and stuff like tha
Aw rip
all i know is that newton is a guy you should know and
F=ma
No pretty much all of it
That's basically how you make a prediction
i mean, thats not right
Oh
sure we use maths to do physics
How is it wrong?
and also note observations
but the maths is one part of it
the other part is the physical meaning of the thing we are talking about
Yeah there’s the interpretation etc.
I mean yeah we don't really disagree there
It's just that observations always carry some form of uncertainty
While math just doesn't
yeah sure
In any case it’s always overly reductionist to view physics as a subcategory of math, as well as the generalized “hierarchy” of “purity”
so physics is its own other thing
No not really
but math is needed for it
Yes
i need more input
well yes mathematics is used to formulate the models, but it's only one section of math
But the goal of physics is to create a good model of the real world
so we got a yea and a nay

sure, in which case experimental results and the like become very important
testing the model is just as important, if not more so
which has its own set of things to deal with
Physics is fun
Maybe not electromagnetism
The main difference between math and physics as a field is that physics doesn't come close to be as rigorous as math
well that is true enough I suppose
man i don't even study physics till junior year (11th grade for you yaeso)
A lot of the models we create are just educated guesses
jeez we study it like
7th grade
but I'd argue it's disingenuous to phrase physics as just applied math (as well as the general hierarchy thing of chem = applied phys, bio = applied chem etc.)
Yea up until 10th grade
i mean, u can see why thats the case
we are fairly limited in studying the world around us
Yeah I'm well aware
Im really curious about black holes
Dont be
Why not
thats a rabbit hole that isnt worth going into unless u have studied general relativity
Black holes are cool
like I don't feel like the extra rigor in math makes math more "special" in a sense
they are way to confusing if u try to study about them without experience
ive digged through general relativity but didnt fully study it
Haha but i do understand
just that mathematical models are often a lot simpler than reality
if u say that
u dont understand it
I have a wide ass imagination to picture every description or something
Well in some sense ig so
Yeah absolutes of things like these are never correct
i wish my mind could picture abstract things
You cant?
hm I suppose we don't really disagree on this front then
No we never did
Random stuff
CONCRETE there
Like wym exactly
It's just that i should have been a bit more clearer from the start
i could only think of things that i can observe
yeah I suppose
if you give me words and tell me to imagine them i can't
but if i could see a picture and observe it yes i can
It's like "basically" applied math since the language of physics is math
this is why i hate english
But it's not strictly just math
can you imagine the earth and the moon?
but foreign language...
i think of it like solving a puzzle
Can you see it in ur mind?
Oh then u can make abstract thoughts
an interesting side question would be whether or not physics can be considered as part of math
whoops I mean whether math can be considered as part of physics
You cant see words in ur mind?
i.e. math as a subset of physics
Oh i would actually say no to that although physics has made a lot of contribution to math
And vice versa
it's hard to explain in a message
more generally, whether or not math can be viewed as a natural science
here like theology for example
Ill say it is
i'll take this idea called the trinity sorry for bringing religion up in the convo but it's the only way i can explain
Dont be sorry
Then
i can't take the deeper meaning secondly
Im cinfused
here chemistry
I'm confused
FUCK how am i supposed to explain this
i'm built different there
i'll just end it at that
@neat lintel "A person with concrete thinking does not think beyond the facts. They do not have the ability to think beyond a certain limit. Concrete thinkers only have a generalized concept for all things. On the other hand, abstract thinkers have a very specific concept of things."
i googled it thanks google
I still dont get it haha
Oh ive tried to watch shit about it i didnt get a single one stuck in my mind
Oh
idk how to explain it then bruhhh
So you're like self taught?
for 2 years, yes
Damn respect
?
But i do pay school
Oh
for what ?
Well electromagnetism doesn't make a lot of sense if you haven't had vector calculus
next semester ill be in school tho finally gonna get precalculus
Yea makes sense
Ye
lol we all have the green leaf emoji
I thought knowing probabilities makes me like a genius in those field haha
it's a joke with server regulars
rip i'm not a regular
it was too good of an opportunity to post the image
I only talk in kurzgesagt and here lol
a person who's ahead of the grade?
close my eyes?
Honestly it fucking scares me when i imagine dying then leaving humanity and knowing we wont fucking exist forever
i've gone over that
it's a phase
haha like
It scares me to think we all gonna die soon
And all the memories just gone
Holy shit
Ima stop
Im scared again
It also scares me like dying is just, not existing
really?
Literature
like you're reading shakespeare?
and everything
not yet i think
not Shakespeare haha
But we do read uhm
quoth the raven... nevermore
You egg?
in 9th grade i read julius caesar
He stabs him
HOLY SHIT
You egg?
Rip
shakespeare sucks ass to read
Im so glad
why do we need to learn
lmao
LOL
Why do we need to forcefully learn those
and
including our literature haha
He clearly was goated with the sauce
wait what word did he also say that was funny
naughty naughty knave
so fun to say
naive
nah naiive i still use that word
nah naive
yup
i already know one
there are a ton of weird insults in shakespeare
putang ina that's it
We have lots tho
nahh my mom's gonna whoop the shit outta me
like at one point someone is called a fishmonger
which is a really weird thing to call someone
she already smacks me for saying putangina
Dont say it lol
Gago means uh, the r word
nah my parents have never said that
I see
Uh
What else
Anak ng puta yk that
nah
"son of a bitch" haha
my parents say only putangina around me like when they get burnt while cooking or getting hurt
lmao
Do they speak filipino in front of u
they never say it in a normal convo
to each other in front of me? yes
and on the phone
But they never taught u?
yup lmao
Sad haha
even when i'm in the conversation they still speak filipino
maybe theyre talking bout stuff u dont wanna hear or something
Are you like the only child?
but i'm the best 😎
oldest: most athletic
middle: best at school (smartest)
youngest: best looking
idk what he's good at
you all boys?
yes
damn
my mom wished for all boys and my dad
Me and my siblings arent close haha
cuz "girls are too expensive to raise"
Hi wew
neither are mine
my brother and i are holed up in our rooms separately
True
funny
6 am funny
haha ur in that nsfw server too huh
quick math
shhh
i have different servers
not offering to send them but change topic
wait can i send gifs
yea u can
And images
doesnt everyone does
Do yall make fun of british people
yes
Goofy english
and slang
all of them sound like harry potter
wo ah
lol
legit they copied harry potter lmao
Yes the singular “British” accent
elevators = lift
Pavement
lmao
fine there are different accents around the UK
uh
london accent there
And I agree most sound stupid 
And annoying
its weird how its an accent
Somerset accent my beloved
when its just (british) english you have in mind
its not an accent, its literally the language
Tbf they did say dialect earlier loch
but the thing you have in mind when you think of british english is just the english language
Lift
liverpool accent
its not a dialect, its standard (british) english
We do not speak it’s name....
Why do they have accents then
If its just standard brit
it's like
wdym?
united states
In memory of Andrew Jack (28 January 1944 – 31 March 2020).
http://www.andrewjack.com/.
there's a lotta historic shit with england
An accent is a variation in pronounciation not vocabulary
my point was more that most people probably expect american english to be standard
and thus british english is not
I.e we filipinos replace F' with P'
ye i agree tho
But still
fucking midwest people call soda
"pop" in the united states
Ig so
and every texan person calls soda
"coke"
where is that fish and chips image with tuna and pringles
they call sprite "sprite coke"
wtf
my mom called my playstation a nintendo
best accent i mean fwheaougbrdesoaghrnds
what's that word
redhead cowboys
i'm from an english speaking country yet i suck with my own language yup
Cope
Coffee
trying to man
Good luck boss!!
gracias
This
dam
Its like ive seen through it all haha
lol
Election?
Politics 
yes
is it forbidden?
No I just don’t care for it personally
UK politics be like: eururuhrhrhrhhrerhrueh
I used to not care
Not forbidden
but my country got screwed over last 5 years because of wrong president
Read channel description
thats when I started to care
Damn same
do they still have PMQs in britain
UK politics be like; hmm today I will gerrymander the fuck out of every constituency
i mean in the uk we have a wide variety of out-of-touch rich people to choose from
and then there's like the snp and green party ig
People here call themselves "woke" for reading propaganda spread in books
Wth are parties
I dont get
What parties are
Explain haha
likw yall vote for a leading party?
parties are a group of people with common beliefs on how the country should be run
If I were to vote I would vote for myself
yall vote parties?
or just people
Depends on the election
Party! 🥳
Coz like theres different parties here
I voted for party
U get actual political parties then parties that just focuses on something, lets say like for fishermen, and farmers like that
like tbh even tho there are some aspects of opposing party that I agree on, the opposing party was just being to arrogant and full of themselves
we dont vote actual Political parties tho, but we can vote their members
only vote everyone cares about in my country is the presidential election
Is ur presidencies 5 yrs -term?
yes
Lmao
I think thats also true in my country
True here too
we don't talk about US politics
Goddamn
like 20%p less people voted today compared to presidential
Other half didn't?
78% of whole population eligable to vote voted during presidential
Yea
but only 50% voted today
wait why does it sound so similar to my country
Is this France or something?
my countries opposing party only lost because of 0.7%p
That’s actually a pretty good voter turn out 
damn wish my country had that many people
Why lol
Theyre gonna ask for a recount
You from Taiwan?
South?
my mom found me awake and now she isn't buying soda for the rest of the month lmao
yes
well
Didnt rhey
I wouldn't be here if I were north korean
lmao
a new president
today was election to choose mayors, governers
Ohh
