I’m surrounded by engineering majors and all I hear are complaints about this and that to the point it’s hard to not complain myself! I’ve gotten better and learned through pondering videos like yours that I’m the one mainly responsible for my education. School just puts the stamps of approval that I passed some tests and it’s up to me to tell employers I’m capable.
exactly thats the right mindset school gives you the paper but youre the one that has to actually understand and use it it’s not easy and yeah people complain a lot but once you realize it’s on you to learn what matters you can really get ahead stay on it @authorjond also if you wanna get better with math and physics check out my ultimate crash course for stem majors its super simple and easy to follow here’s the link payhip.com/authorjond
I study stem, math and cs, because I care about, if I'm not completely overwhelmed, I go more in depth than the class requires. Interesting note, if you play it right, being a neet isn't so bad for getting laid, lotta free time. But these whiners, seem like a symptom of an ever decreasing pool of well paying jobs, and an ever increasing standard of competency required for them. Essentially they're not built for it. 50 years ago they'd be union guys working in a canning factory. They'd have a mortgage. Hard to blame them entirely.
yeah man i get it the bar for competency is definitely higher these days especially in stem and yeah some people just aren’t built for that pressure it’s a different world now compared to 50 years ago for sure people used to get by with a lot less and it’s hard to fault them for struggling in today’s environment @authorjond btw if you’re looking to go deeper into math and physics check out my ultimate crash course for stem majors it breaks everything down and makes it easier to follow here’s the link author-jonathan-david-shop.fourthwall.com/? thanks for being a fan! your efforts help more than you know!
I recently graduated with an engineering major but this was such a wakeup call to me sir. I feel that the timing of the video was excellent and I just wanted to say thank you for posting this! I hope this video reaches more people who were a whiny baby like I was during my undergrad because I honestly wish I had seen this video in my freshman year.
lol 😝 me too!

For someone who does not like complainers, there appears to be an insignificant amount of complaining in this video, specifically about complainers. I wish you would back up your claims with evidence that is more substantive, as a lot of the claims you make in this video would fall apart if more research is performed into those relevant topic areas. For example, studies show that financial outcomes tend to do more with the material conditions of the student during their undergraduate process and the material conditions that exist upon their graduation. This is supported by several studies showing that graduates have better financial outcomes ten years after graduation due to graduating before an economic crash rather than during or after one. I also think that you misunderstand what a scientist is. In the video, you repeatedly make claims that scientists are those who solve their own problems, though definitionally, a scientist is anyone who employs the scientific method to test a falsifiable hypothesis, though I think this misunderstanding comes from the conflation of scientists with engineers. In the video, you also make the claim that asking questions disqualifies you from calling yourself a scientist with the logic that supports this claim coming from the initial misunderstanding of what a scientist is. By working in my current industry lab for the past two years, I have found the science that is performed to be more collaborative in nature, as not everyone has the same skill set/information set, as mathematically, one cannot know everything. This means that to have good data that is properly contextualized and can lead to accurate models, oftentimes more than not, it is useful to have input from a wide range of scientific backgrounds to arrive at the correct conclusion. On a much broader level though, most scientific discoveries would not occur if the several hundred years of scientific discovery and work had not preceded that discovery, which means that science must be inherently collaborative, for good or for ill. One thing of personal note to add this that having completed my degree during COVID, a not insignificant amount of classes I took suffered in quality as a result. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect quality lectures and text materials if one is paying the exorbitant prices that students are paying for tuition and materials these days. Finally, I don't think it is productive to blame systemic problems on individuals, as this can potentially result in decreased psychological health outcomes in the future. If one person and that person only experiences a problem, then it is likely that the problem is individual. However, if a significant amount of people experience the same exact problem or similar enough problems, then the problem in question may be systemic in nature and would require a systemic, structural change to solve, which is beyond any one person's abilities to solve. Sincerely, A nobody with a B.S. in Biochemistry and a minor in Mathematics who does science almost every day for their job in a laboratory environment Also, cut it out with the misogyny and internalized misandry, I don't think it is either productive or constructive, and please watch some sociology videos/take some sociology courses. Also also, please structure your arguments a bit better, as they can be a bit redundant and often go off on unnecessary tangents.
wow that’s a really detailed response and i appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts i get where you’re coming from about the collaborative nature of science and the impact of systemic issues on individual outcomes it’s true that financial conditions and quality of education can make a huge difference and your points about the nature of being a scientist are really valid too i didn’t mean to imply that asking questions disqualifies anyone it’s actually part of the scientific process and collaboration is key in research and problem solving as for the issues with misogyny or misandry that’s definitely something to be aware of and work on it’s important to foster a more inclusive and understanding environment in all fields @authorjond btw if you’re looking for some solid resources to help with math and physics check out my ultimate crash course for stem majors it’s designed to support students like you who are diving deep into complex subjects here’s the link author-jonathan-david-shop.fourthwall.com/? thanks for being a fan! your efforts help more than you know!
I do have a quick question tho. I love asking questions But i do find myself often asking chat gpt to explain concepts to me or solve a question i did, in a better way. and i do always ask other people questions, i am not execpting them to magicaly solve my problems, but when i do research, i just ask everything and everyone, to gather the most knowledge, and if i dont get answers then i just try to ask even more, little questions. Is that practice wrong?
It doesn’t matter how you practice, math or physics. All that matters is that you’re able to take the exams properly. This means taking practice exams and knowing how to structure the solutions for full credit. Jonathan payhip.com/authorjond
Is it the same in college where the books don’t explain anything so if you have to learn at home it’s impossible and it’s like that in my country and it’s terrible there’s no online resources either
I get it many textbooks suck. Most main subjects, you will be able to find great textbooks with some googling. If you still struggle, then maybe think about starting with the prerequisite as the difficulty may lay in the unfamiliarity with implicit foundations(the knowledge needed beforehand). Studying from a textbook with no mentors is difficult but manageable. Moreover, most main subject materials are wildly available over the internet with many lectures online and many more discussions regarding topics and problems. Literally the biggest problem for self study in many countries is the availability of material in their mother tongue, but given that you speak English, this isn't the case for you. So hopefully it will be easier for you. Plan and choose textbooks/lectures/topics carefully, as one extra hour in planning might save you 10 in studying especially for topics you lack prerequisites for. There is the mental side where it is difficult to motivate oneself when working alone, but this is a different discussion.@@DanniManni

Rewatch all of my videos and get back to me
The reason why learning from textbooks is difficult in college.
