STOP DOING MATH (in markdown and text since I couldn't find it anywhere on the web)

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
  • Wanted to go higher anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "GUESSING"
  • "Yes please give me ZERO of something. Please give me INFINITE of it" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Mathematicians have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the calculators & abacus we built for them

(This is REAL Math, done by REAL Mathematicians):

[fig1 of a complex surface ???] [fig2 of a more complex surface ????] [fig3 of a hyper shape ?????????]

"Hello I would like [graph] apples please"

They have played us for absolute fools

STOP DOING THEORY

  • Thought about ATOMS for MILLENNIA but couldn't even find an ELECTRON
  • AI? More like "Aye, I didn't see the SCALING HYPOTHESIS coming!"
  • Wanted FLIGHT? Theorists be like: "Maybe we just flap real hard?"
  • "I've mathed out the perfect STEAM ENGINE!" - Said no one ever before actually building it.

LOOK at the grand THEORIES they've been touting:

  • TIMELESS DECISION THEORY
  • SEMANTIC GRAPH
  • PROVABLY SAFE AGI

(This is REAL Thoery, done by REAL Theorizers):

"According to my calculations, this metaphor for a bird should definitely fly." Reality: "Hold my beer."

They have played us for absolute fools

STOP THEORIZING WITHOUT TESTING

  • YEARS OF RESEARCH and yet MOST BREAKTHROUGHS come from ACCIDENTAL EXPERIMENTS
  • "Let's try it out on paper first" - Said every researcher before their theory got debunked by a simple test
  • "My model predicts X" but REALITY shows Y. Yet, they WON'T BUDGE.

LOOK at the grand THEORIES they've been touting:

  • TIMELESS DECISION THEORY
  • Distinction Graphs and Graphtropy
  • AIXI

(This is REAL Thoery, done by REAL Theorizers):

"Hello, based on my calculations, this should work" Yet it spectacularly fails in practice

They have played us for absolute fools
