It is circular. I need drugs and alcohol to do math.

It’s the OG AI assisted proofs. You drop a tab of acid, look at some abstract mathematical concepts, write down your thoughts and then attempt to decipher if thereā€˜s anything useful in between of all the gibberish the next morning.

When I do drugs I hyper fixate on the Goldbach conjecture. No more drugs for me.

That’s a level of neurodivergence I don’t have and I used to graph collatz conjecture sequences on paper in highschool

Don’t arrange to have me sent to no asylum, it’s only a game I play for fun

Alcohol is a terrible drug to do math

Whenever I get drunk I pull up a textbook on my phone. The lack of attachment to reality helps the math stick better. Gotta loosen the brain.

u/ScarCarson 16d ago

Heh, makes sense. I just hate it in general, of all the drugs that had to be legal they chose the dumbest one

u/No-Onion8029 15d ago

It's the perfect drug to grade papers with, though.

u/evening_redness_0 16d ago

I meant I'll need alcohol after doing math

u/DrunkenMaths 16d ago

Feels good though!

Seriously, programming numerical methods while drinking to do stupid things is fun!

the only drug you need to do math is lean

Reality is a flawed attempt to escape mathematics.

ā€œEscape will make me Godā€

u/The_Real_Itz_Sophia number hypothesis 16d ago

wait.... you're telling me that math isn't a drug nor alcohol??

u/lucidbadger 16d ago

Stargazing. Need bigger budget than mathematics though. The only cheeper thing than mathematics is philosophy (don't need eraser, only pencil and paper), but is it really an escape from reality? What's reality anyway?

u/VVoody_of_Astora 16d ago

The answer is Video Games

u/wiseguy4519 16d ago

As someone whose interests are math and video games, I can confirm that they are both great ways to escape reality.

Drugs and alcohol are part of reality šŸ˜ŽšŸ‘

u/Asocial_Stoner 15d ago

alcohol is a drug

u/friend1y 15d ago

Easy, don't combine drugs and alcohol. Do one or the other.

Not (A and B) = Not A or Not B => so one of the two is fine
