Almost picked neuroscience for my degree. Really dodged a bullet huh. So glad I'm a physics major

I picked engineering. Let the physicists do the hard work of figuring out how the universe works, then I'll step in with a handbook of formulas that you already derived and take someone's money to stamp it.

Can someone please teach whoever made this about the basics of graphic design? I can hardly read this ity-bity condensed as fuck text on top of a potato quality complicated background. Good God.

Why do people like being unkind to others in a nonconstructive way?

I feel like this was written as a self-roast by someone in neuroscience. If it is written by someone outside of the field I would definitely agree with you though...

Given the heavy use of subject-specific jargon, I'd guess as much. I wouldn't go to the length of looking up neuroscience terms just to roast neuroscientists, because that just seems like a poor happy chemical return on the mental energy investment, whatever the proper terms for that might be.

Now, if you'd ask me to build a data model to analyse my unhappiness for key influencers, we're in business.

To be fair, the neuroscience terminology used is pretty surface level, one wikipedia stroll would have done it.

This is the copypasta at the beginning of the creation myth of the artist Floating Points.
