[ASK] me about this really depressing theory I have that humans are literally nothing more than bags of water and lookup tables that spend most of their time and resources and life building up one database of i/o but actually only take action when they receive input from another, much smaller and more critical set of inputs

Cal 1: Derivatives and Integrals Cal 2: More Integrals plus series and sequences Cal 3: Multivariable with a hint of Diff Eq

i guess i'm still annoyed about being told "calculus is easy, even david beckham can do it" cos while it's sort of right at one level if you assume a lot of things it's wrong at all the levels whoever says that is trying to imply

in america, you say "David Beckham" and you get this blank stare. then you say "that guy who married posh spice" and you get a different blank stare then you say "you know, that girl who was in the spice girls and now looks like you could break rocks on her face" and you get an "ohhhhh, that guy"
