  The number of people having jobs in this picture is record low

    There’s a real gravity to that statement and it definitely adds up.

    Because they are students? Both are high demand professions, I don’t get it.

      I guess that the commentor meant that those kinds of thoughts don’t get you jobs, and doesn’t know how easy it is to get a job with a degree in either of those fields. Same for the upvoters.

  Calling a made up construct “the absolute truth” is hilarious

  source

  • BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The test to know if anything is an absolute truth is if it is called an absolute truth. If it is called an absolute truth, then it isn’t an absolute truth. If it isn’t called an absolute truth, then it isn’t an absolute truth. Absolute truths don’t exist. If someone tells you something is an absolute truth, stop listening to them.

    They’re made up constructs that reflect the absolute truth when applied correctly (from his perspective).

    Well, it depends on your definition of truth and it could be the absolute truth by definition. A theorem is absolutely true in the same way that “a bachelor is an unmarried man” is categorically true.

      “This line on the map is perpendicular to this other line on the map” is not a statement about the territory.

    I was about to say “incompleteness theorem”!

    source

    • Srh@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That just means we can’t know everything about the system. Not that it is not true.

    • barsoap@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That’s computer science alongside with Church/Turing. Maths could have tried to claim it but they doubled down on formalism so they don’t deserve it.

      That said though incompleteness follows from nothing but logical implication itself so it’s more fundamental than physics (try to imagine a physics without cause and effect) and philosophy (find me a philosopher who wasn’t asleep during their logic lectures).

    Math ain’t made up. Math is discovered.

    Specifically, a language. It moves information from one place to another. It can reveal new information too, but that’s more of a useful side effect imo.

    • Spacehooks@reddthat.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I do see where you’re going but I would consider language a tool for communication.

  If someone needs another existental crisis here’s a prompt:

  • Is math universal or is it a system of thought invented by humans and it only makes sense to us?

  source

  • CodexArcanum@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Models. Humans hold models of the world in their minds, math helps you understand and create more complex and consistent models. You always exist in a simulation of your own construction to make sense of the universe.

    My feeling is that no model can ever fully capture a complete description of reality, the information isn’t compressible to such a degree that approximations or abstractions can be lossless.

    Most of what we consider to be invention is merely combinatoric novelty.

  • Artyom@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Good thing physicists solved that problem already; if everything is made up and can only be observed through our preconceived notions and there’s no way to prove a world beyond them, then it doesn’t matter. The universe we can observe is reality and everything beyond that is beyond meaningful definition and is therefore useless, which is how we define “philosophy”.

    Math is not an invention. It’s a discovery.

  • JackbyDev@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Math is definitely universal. The math behind things in science wouldn’t suddenly change on different alien planets. Take things like V = IR. That relies on multiplication and division. It’s gonna be the same on other planets. The units, notation, etc. will be different but the concepts would be the same.

    source

    • BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’m no STEM major, so I may be way off, but this is how I see it.

      V = IR isn’t math. It’s a way of defining the relationship and outcome of two specific physical qualities. It says that we combine the resistance of a medium ® with the current flowing through it (I) into another joint quality we call voltage (V). We do this because it makes our understanding of the physical world easier to manage since this relationship has helpful applications.

      Math is simply patterns in the relationships of quantities. It excludes any physical units or qualities. In other words, math is the art of counting.

  I don’t understand this meme format. Are the speech bubbles the texts received or the texts sent? It looks like they’re typing, so could be both.

  • threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I assumed the bubbles are the texts sent, but I could see the argument for the other side too.
