Science Advisor: How to Become One

  • Thread starter JamesU
  • Start date
In summary, becoming a science advisor requires experience in converting foreign threads into flames, showing non-superficial knowledge, and avoiding quarrels with certain members. There is a probability function for becoming a science advisor, which takes into account time employed on PF, number of quarrels, and amount of nonsense said. However, this function may be incomplete as it does not consider the number of times one has angered mentors or posted in scientific forums. The concept of a "Creator" or "Intelligent Designer" may be more non-denominational terms for the forum's "God." The religion forum is currently shut down due to the potential for flame wars.

You have to have experience in converting foreign threads into flames questioning all what the OP has stated, also you have to show a non superficially knowledge of what you are talking about in order to make the rest of people to believe you are God (like a politician by the way). Also it would be great you to have the least quarrels with Greg of Tom to make them to take you seriously and not believe you are here only for f..ck the rest.

EDIT:

To sum up, if [tex]P[/tex] is your probability of being science advisor, then:

[tex]P\sim \frac{t/N_{q}S_t}{(t/N_qS_t)_{arildno}}[/tex]

where

[tex]
t=[/tex] time employed in PF.
[tex]N_q[/tex] number of quarrels with Tom or Greg
[tex]S_t[/tex] amount of stupid an nonsense things said in upper forums. (GD don't get in this account).

and [tex](t/N_qS_t)_{arildno}[/tex] are the group of variables evaluated in Arildno.

Now my probability function is normalized with you, Arildno. :rofl:

Good luck in your pursuit. :biggrin:

I don't think your probability function always gives a value between 0 and 1, Clausius2..

See my EDIT above, Cowboy.

But how could you possibly think that I could have a normalizing influence on anything, Clausius2?? :confused:

In fact you are the function objective for yommama, an science advisor, the only thing he must do is be equal to you (except of going so far as you when begging Marlon to lend you the P.M. Newton). :biggrin:

He could also try to be equal to marlon or yourself..

Yeah, you have hit the head of the nail of why I posted you as the normalized science advisor:

I AM UNIQUE, nobody can equal me. I am over all the world.

That's sound good, eh? :wink:

Wise guys! Apparently there's no accounting for taste in the selection process. :tongue:
I didn't start it; Clausius2 did!

Wait, since I've never even heard of tom or greg, sounds like I am infinitely a shoe in :D

You've never heard of Tom or Greg?? Tom Mattson is the SuperMentor extraordinaire, and Greg Bernhardt is our esteemed creator! :biggrin:

Tom and Greg, you can just direct deposit the payment into my account.

I thought Greg was God?

Arildno's post should be a sticky.

Well then, he shouldn't be eating toffee as he's typing here on PF!

<OK, you may smack me now>

I think Creator is the PC, non-denominational term. :biggrin:

Agreed. :approve:

what about [tex]T_pom[/tex] times you've pissed off mentors? and [tex]T_psf[/tex] Times posted in scientific forums? your equation is wrong. the correct formula is:
[tex]P\sim \frac{t/N_{q}S_t}{(t/N_qS_t)_{arildno}} \div T_pom \times T_psf[/tex]

crap! that would mean that the probability of me becoming a science advisor is 0! :grumpy:

Wouldn't Intelligent Designer be even more non-denominational? :wink:

Darn! I'll have to be more careful where I spend my *SMACK*s in the future. :grumpy:

Well...oh, wait, I already used my "Get out of Banning Free" card too. :grumpy: I really shouldn't squander these things away.

How many Gods do we have around here? I met 1 guy who claimed he was God in "Politics and World Affairs" yesterday!

PS:Finally I find out why "God" thread in philosophy forum's closed.

The religion forum is shut down.
The threads there developed too easily into flame wars.

I think they're only kept visible as evidence of why we don't allow religious discussion anymore.
