I don't care how it's defined in mathematics, in life it's defined as a negative. matter/energy is a positive and consciousness/time/laws of physics are neutral

That's some Time Cube batshit right there.

in life it's defined

This was from his degree in Life where he took 20 Life classes and read 30 Life textbooks, right?

Remember kiddies, meth is the preferred drug of mathematicians, not mushrooms.

Spaceships are for acrobats who are also mathematicians.

— Juan Rico, in Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers, 1960.

The U.S. Air Force uses dextroamphetamine as one of its "go pills", given to pilots on long missions to help them remain focused and alert. Conversely, "no-go pills" are used after the mission is completed, to combat the effects of the mission and "go-pills".

Astronauts are often chosen from Air Force personnel, so... kinda maybe?

If you're not doing acid then you're not proving theorems.

Oh god I love how his first response to a rebuttal is "what are your credentials?"

It's like he's saying "give me something else to criticize you on and dispute your theory besides the actual argument"

nothing is a void that MUST be filled

and

once you put nothing into something you remove that something from existence.

and

The number of things that can nothing in it are infinite.

Damn I miss when I could do drugs. Jobs are the worst.

NaN/=NaN. If we add -2 to both sides then subtract one of the NaN we get that NaN + NaN = -2. Do use both sides by 2 and you get -1=0. QED W5.

God damnit JavaScript maths...

I would like to point out that this was written sarcastically.
