Where you at?

Valley of Despair. I am so stupid it hurts.

>>15404327 (OP)

I'm ascending "Mount Stupid".

>>15404327 (OP)

I've always known I was gravely retarded, so I'm either in the valley of despair or I'm yet to even begin my ascent of the initial slope

I managed to get out of that hell by restarting everything from the beginning, like very basic stuff like prop logic, and basic math and slowly build up my knowledge.

Slope of enlightenment

t. postdoc

I'm very slowly doing that. One of my classes overloaded me with work so I couldn't really do anything besides school this semester.

>>15404327 (OP)

I think this isn't how it works. Confident people get stuck on the mount stupid, as they can't question they knowledge.

Actually f(x)=sin^2(sqrt(x))



You heard it here first.

Bros we were too cocky, what are we gonna do now

that's valley of an hero

Followed by mount Manhattan.

Why is it a smooth decent? How did he do it??

Stoicism

That's the valley of despair again. The whole process repeats itself because the more you know, the more you know how little you know, so you need to know more.

Valley of despair. Doing a PhD and worrying I don't have the imagination and/or intelligence to make a good thesis.

I've read tons of thesis papers. They're all fucking terrible so don't worry about it.

>>15404327 (OP)

Depends on the subject.

Things I don't care about: Halfway up towards peak stupid

Things I care about: various spots on the neverending slope of increasing knowledge

I'm at this point. I've realized it doesn't matter how fucking stupid I am by my own standards, it only matters how fucking stupid I am compared to everyone else.

WOMBO COMBO

>>15404327 (OP)

The second valley is pretty brutal, because when you consider how long you've been working on a subject, you expect to feel like a master. 

>Get stuck on a problem

>Go outside for a walk

>Niggers nigging about

>The nogs don't have the same problem you have

>They look happy

>What's the point of continuing? No one will care.

>Walk around aimlessly, pondering the existence of blissful ignorance. 

>Some bored demon sneaks the solution into your mind (muh subconscious), only to torment you for longer.

>You feel euphoria, and rush home happy that you have found the solution 

>Restart the procedure in a couple days.

Careful, I got a 3-day ban for saying the no no word.

Banning me won't change reality. In any case, if some idiot is triggered, they can substitute nigger for birds. They looked especially smug going around problem free. Chirpers gonna chirp.
