Anecdotally, as a life long STEM nerd, even smart people are boring.

I tire of discussing the potential of a theory; sure let me add that to the pile of a hundred others I heard about this month. How one was able to link two well known math objects by adding a few more of the well known glyphs; no one has ever done that before.

When one of you is on the verge of actually replacing relativity, or falsifying entropy, a warp drive, uploading kung fu to my consciousness; sure let’s hear it.

And FFS am I tired of listening to startup stories; it’s the new “read my script.” Machine aided reductions of daily life stats is a prosaic story to tell to someone who has been writing software since the 80s.

I guess you hate philosophy or I'm misunderstanding. I derive great pleasure from thinking.

I hate philosophy.

I derive great pleasure from making my piano or guitar sound cool, writing my science fiction; experience.

I tire of debating the potential of some pet paper should future humans find fit to do something with a theory we can merely acknowledge was written.

Sci Fi without philosophy? That sounds unique.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
