I can't tell you exactly how I got out of that situation because it was a gradual change. But one thing you should do is practice. Practice being funny, practice body language, practice following the thread of a conversation, practice being interesting. Practice this with other people, and catch every bit of feedback that you can: try to infer what their faces tell you, if they're comfortable with you or not, what do those people like and dislike. Try to stay away from other awkward guys, you can't learn anything from them unless they're sociable, which means they're not totally awkward. You'll also find that a great deal of people will try to take advantage of you. Try to stay away from people that ignore you when trying to talk to them, or don't hold what you say as important. If they dismiss you, then you must have the courage to dismiss them.
By definition a physics law is inescapable. If that law can be circumvented, then there are deeper physical laws at work. Don't be conceited, nothing can be absolutely relative. If everything is relative and it's an illusion, at least the existence of illusions is objective.
I do know what it's like to do nothing. I don't know how you've lived your life until now, but I bet this situation is new to you. You'll have to learn how to fill up your time with meaningful things despite of negative thoughts overflowing your mind. You should one of this days sit down, put down the cellphone somewhere it doesn't distract you, grab some paper and a pen, and write down how you feel. You'll see that writing down your situation and feelings will help. Don't underestimate the time needed when doing this, and don't think it'll be easy to find something worth your time. And lastly, don't hesitate to try new things, unless they're drugs or alcohol.
Yeah, I bet you think that the economy problem in Argentina will get better cutting costs. The real problem, however, is the job culture here, if not the overall culture.
I beg to differ on the proposition that you're a crackpot. That seems to me a perfectly mathematical way of thinking.
If you're a crackpot, it's because all mathematicians are.
This. I can't express this enough. And other thing I can't express enough is how logic is an extension of common sense. Just go and read the wikipedia articles about the Three Laws of Thought: the Law of identity, the Law of noncontradiction, the Law of the excluded middle and the Principle of Reason.
Maybe you shouldn't limit what other people say because of your subjective views. Moreso if you define hate speech as "The incomfortable truth that I don't want to hear" and not "insults or objectively proved deceit"
Excerpt from the article: "Why aren’t Americans rising up in peaceful protest like our neighbors?". Well, because those protests aren't peaceful as you think. At least in Chile, every shop, hotel and place where protesters appeared has been destroyed.
I don't know you, but in every lecture in college that was done in a room with no air flow, I got distracted every five minutes or so. If the proportion of C02 had a cognitive effect that I could feel, then I wouldn't be surprised if other kinds of contaminants do the same.
