I saw that word thing in Encyc. Britannica. Something like a magic square.

The masses think academics are losers and yet their society depends solely on the achievements of academics.
Academics think they are above the masses, and yet all their intellectual endeavors are subconsciously only to gain the acceptance of the masses.

The mass of shit people exists so they just bag intellectuals' groceries and do the stupid jobs so they can dedicate themselves to the good stuff.

And who gave you these notions in the first place? Society did. The masses did. The process of glorifying heroes is the best way for society to ensure that capable individuals will do what it wants.

I'm fine with that, but you have to work all your life to prove a single theorem, putting this mission above raising a family and having fun and living life, so that I can have technologies that will raise my living standards.

And I'm fine with that, but realise that there is quite a bit of difference between people like Bohr and Atiyah, whose names will never be forgotten and who inspire future (real) intellectuals, and you, whose life achievement will be having sex with dozens of white trash girls and being forgotten a week after you die, likely by being hit by a bus while walking home drunk.
But go ahead and conclude that (successful or not) people interested in science are losers, and go back to watching football. Or something. After all, the majority of every army are grunts.

It is a Latin palindrome.
Basically it says (in Latin) that there is a guy named Sator works on wheels. It is noteable in that not only is it a palindrome and a grammaticaly correct sentence, it can be arranged in the above square and be read in any direction (and still be grammatically correct since Latin does not need to be written in any order because it is completely inflected.

LOL, "You are wasting your time, but I rely on you to make my cellphone and computer, and this makes perfect sense"
Stupid drooling masses think technology just spawns out of nothing as long as they buy stuff from megacorporations while they shit on intellectuals and call us boring.
Correction. What you meant to say was, "If you like math, I think you are a boring person."
But anyway, I know this was a troll anyway, so suck it.

you have to work all your life sucking someone elses cock, because the only things you enjoy in life can only be attained through mindless devotion to a corporate franchise. you're just a cog in the white collar assembly line.

as if academics don't suck cock to get grants and tenures (although, you can stop the cock sucking and start kicking ass after that)
the academia is strictly more fun, but there's still cock-sucking involved.
