I'm a mathematics graduate and I'm going to be NEETing this year. I started out quite motivated, studied some optimization and deep learning at the beginning of the year and was planning on applying it to real project. I was always interested on the intersection between biology and mathematics, and studied some neuroscience and organic chemistry just for the sake of it. I was also reading some Theory of Computation books. I suddenly realized I do not care about any of it. There's of course something personal that's going on, but it might also be that I realized that there's nothing exciting happening "behind the scenes". I spent months reading research papers, something I had never done, and I found myself underwhelmed by 99% of it. In order to focus the thread a bit more, I'm looking for books about mathematics/computer science/science in general that produced some sort of motivating effect in you in the past. Hopefully no pop-sci, it can be a well-written book about a (in your opinion) beautiful subject. I'm open to schizo stuff too (just read The Hidden Pattern by the AGI schizo the other day, and I've been reading some political stuff too).

every cent that you generate goes to the people who want to systematically wipe you out

I feel you. If you go outside of mathematics, you find that nothing is as deep or enjoyable.The problem of artificial intelligence, and the intersection of biology and mathematics is however very interesting.
The problem is mostly that the people who work within it (deep learning for example) are engineers or other applied people who are mostly very uninspiring. This however opens up for alot of opportunity in changing these fields if you come from the right mindset.
As for book recommendations: "What is Life" by Schrödinger is a good starter.

Use success as motivation and failure as well. Was your project successful or did you fail?

Can you use your math or something?

Thanks anon

I never started it, it took just a personal issue to demotivate me. It was sort of a student's project more than anything else. It was going to take me too much programming to make it into a finished "product".

I don't know where
