It's a good thing that bitches don't do math, right?  i think their PMS and pussy and stuff might get in the way lol

[Max White]

I call bullshit.
Saying maths is just following instructions is like saying that cooking is just following instructions, and that is fundamentally wrong. It starts out that way, but there comes a point when you need to make your own instructions. When you need to figure the formulae out on your own. When you have to start cooking from scratch without the book.

[Frumple]

Bleeh, kinda' annoying. Mostly because I usually take the stairs anyway when I'm not walking with someone lazy. How in th'gods names people under fifty will take an elevator to the second story I'll never understand.

... also math is absolutely jack shit like cooking, unless cooking is like german somehow. Math is a language, nothing more, nothing less. Most of it's pretty easy to understand once it's translated into actual <Insert primary language>

Agreement on the 'use in real life' excuse, though. There's benefit in learning languages you're not going to use often (or at all), after all.

Where'd that come from, anyway?

[Max White]

Cooking is a lot like a language, you just need some practice speaking it. It is all about communication, but instead of between two people, it is between yourself and the meal. It tells you something, so you tell it something, and it responds, and you go from there.

Treehumping is a lot like a language, you just need some practice speaking it. It is all about communication, but instead of between two people, it is between yourself and the tree. It tells you something, so you tell it something, and it responds, and you go from there.

... which is to say while I dig your response, I'm unimpressed by the original analogy. If cooking is like language  it's like about bloody anything

Which, uh, is kinda' Wittgensteinian, now that I think about it. That'd fit right in with the whole language game rigmarole.

Maddox

Ah. His police article was posted around here at some point. Was similarly unimpressed. Guy sorta' makes some good points but the presentation (and littering of bad points) rubs me the wrong way.

"The best page in the universe"?

Wow, I already hate this guy <_<;

Maddox
http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net

It calls itself the best page in the universe?
Once again, I call bullshit.

*Clicks link*
Oh fucking hell, this guy is a retard. In fact, I am now enjoying reading his little essay, not for educational value, but to laugh at his idiocy. Like a clown tripping over and falling into a pile of farm implements.

[Putnam]

Maddox is still doing things? Holy shit >_>

[MaximumZero]

That was a great mental image.

[Max White]

*Keeps reading*
Yea this has gone into full parody mode. I can't help but think he is either some annoying teenager, or a troll. Seriously, the more I read, the funnier it gets. We need an 'archive of douchbaggery', and this one goes right in between 'Lord' Monkton and conservapedia.

How have so many people not heard of The Best Page In The Universe in 2012?  He's been around for ages.

[Valid_Dark]

the tagline for his main page
http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net
is "This page is about me and why everything I like is great. If you disagree with anything you find on this page, you are wrong."


I enjoy his rants.

He has another webpage, about how he is better than children (3-8 year olds) at just about everything.
http://www.iambetterthanyourkids.com/

I used to read his stuff like 4-5 years ago, and forgot all about him until someone linked me his view on SOPA a few weeks ago.

[Sirus]

Yeah, looking around...he's a troll, right? Because otherwise the human race's collective IQ will jump a few points when this guy kicks the bucket.

@ Aqizzar, two reasons:
One, I'm a relative newcomer to the intertubes, and thus I miss a lot of websites that everyone assumes everyone knows.
Two, because I have better things to do than read some guy's spew.

I am Maddox, a 32-year-old computer programmer and writer. I can spell, draw, and do math better than your kids, so I've taken the liberty to judge work done by children. I'll be assigning a grade of A through F for each piece:

This is why so many people hate programmers. Why do we get stuck with the worst ass holes?
