/sci/ - Science & Math

do you have to be able to read before you can do math? what comes first in problem solving? could someone with no concept of language do math?

is learning the natural state of human attitude?

When all superficial things are removed, e.g social status, wealth, empty pleasures, is our natural state to continuously learn and explore everything we come across?

Or are we supposed to as humans just eat, shit, reproduce, and sleep, not paying mind to the environment we are existing in? Am I a cuck for wanting to learn? Shouldn't I be like normal people and focus on survival and propagation?

Suppose you live in a 100% honest society where no one lies about anything and they will tell you exactly what they're thinking and why. Suppose people who are found to be liars of anything are exiled back into normal society. What advantage does a liar-allowing society have over a strict truth enforci ng society. Now I am not advocating either, but what do you guys think would be the defeating point of a truth enforced society vs normal society?
