people that play sports tend to be physically fit and appearance is the first thing everybody judges on. you actually have to think about science a bit to get to the beauty of it, whereas sports are immediately fun to participate in and watch. also schools do a great job of killing any joy there is in science.

there's nothing wrong with having a balanced social life and being in to nerdy stuff as well anon. writing off partying and sports just comes off as sour grapes. for us sperglords, in life, it helps a lot to have at least one normie-tier interest.

Because the life of the mind is no life at all. The thinker is living in a computer model of reality rather than reality it's self. The thinker is so disconnected from reality that his head is cut off from his body. He can't dance because he can't feel the rhythm of life, No woman likes a thinker because the thinker is devoid of vitality, of the testosterone that a man needs to act against entropy. By neglecting the body, the physicality of life, the thinker is receives no outside stimulation so he must stimulate himself with his mind and create a false value system in which his non-physical talent, his ability to analyze like a journalist on the side lines of a sports game, is the superior way to be. Alas he will die with regret never having been a player.

Human nature, its also more "obvious", idk how to express it but its like any culture can tell apart a good soccer/football player (runs fast, is fit) from a bad one (is slow, is fat) but you can't say the same for a chess or go player, I think its for a similar reason that music is more emotional and moving than paintings, its more physical, more palpable, immediate.

I won't talk shit about mma or rugby, but american football and peruvian football are the worst sports to watch. In peru football they maybe score twice but I guess they're trying to zone the whole time. In american football they have to reset like they're bowling pins every five seconds, most of the time is just seen milling around or advertisements. Even basketball is cooler.

You can not articulate why intellectualism or scientific advancement should have a higher status than sportsball.
Your reasons boil down to promises to base creatures instincts -- e.g. scientific advancement leading to one living longer, or inventing objects so one doesn't have to work as hard.
I cannot stress this hard enough, but again, promises. These are promises, not assured outcomes.
>but science at least does have a practical use!
I see plenty of practical use in the pic. A society that glorifies sportsball is interested in building stadiums. This is one of the factors that advances or keeps the understanding of engineering at a high level. You also cannot separate human nature from its carnal side. I.e., that we are an embodied creature that likes to move.

In brief:
>you, scientists/intellectual
Your only argument is promising creature comforts.
>sportsball and other trivialities
Providing creature comforts. [perhaps in total less utility gain, but not subject to probability]

I think it's most accurate to think of it as a type of social contagion.
I realized this when I noticed the majority of people watching football have no actual connection to the game. They have never played it and don't know anyone playing. It's very odd and they are only into it because everyone else is into it and that is the entire extent of it.

The mere fact that atheists still talks about a simpleton like Nietzche in 2024 shows that there's no ''progress'' or ''evolution'' in the atheist society, beyond the material realm, precisely because atheism is devoid of any intellectualism, which produces a great stability in their societies and lack of any subversion. Atheism in 2024 is the atheism 200 years ago, and in front their own creation that is nihilism, atheists use the same farcical copes and delusion of grandeur à la Nietzche.

why do you think sport is more highly valued than 'advancement'? what is this 'intellectualism' that you speak of? people watch sport to relax from work and shit. it's entertainment. most people don't relax by doing hard shit that requires deep concentration. watching sport is for after the deep concentration.

it's a big industry because people will pay for entertainment. people also pay for smartphones, computers and cars, all of which require 'advancement' and qualified people thinking about shit. those are all big industries as well.

I am going to ignore the partying part.
People value both sportsmen and intellectual, almost equally if anything.
But sports are all about the spectacle and excellent physical feats, it leans more towards the abilities of specific individuals, even in team games, and the people participating in these competitions are al up for this generally or at least go along with it because it's expected.
Scientific advancements generally don't feel like any one person's work, it's the culmination of several successive steps and teams of people working under wraps. To the average person, it's basically a black box and it's not easy to quantify the skill at hand, making it less individually prestigious. People ARE impressed by the intellect behind advancements all the time, but it's hard to get more invested when it's something you don't quite understand, and not I'm not saying it because "people are stupid" or something like that, it's just that most people don't know the ins and outs of every field, they may be familiar or proficient with 1, maybe 2, but not all of them. This applies even to people in advanced fields, most only specialize in a few things. On the other hand, everyone can immediately tell when a physical feat is impressive or, if not, it's easy to explain why it is, since it's a universal experience everyone is familiar with from the moment they are born.
So it's less that people don't favour intellectualism, and more that physical feats are easier to get invested in and impressed by.

Sport is fun, and it provides something to strive for for people when they've been domesticated to not stab each other with swords all day as a pastime anymore. Not all people have the cognitive virtues to appreciate the mental and the abstract, nor should they.

"earn" is the keyword in your post. athletes actually earn their salaries because they produce something of value, entertainment. the fags who devote their lives to publishing replication crisis articles in the academic vanity press (which fortunately nobody ever reads) produce nothing of any value and they don't even earn as much as the mid five figure salaries they're paid, they're just leeches, toxic, self centered, government funded financial drains on society. we'd be better off without them.

Sports is more intellectual than science is. If science fags were really as smart as they're always bragging about being then they would be the ones making $50 million a year, not the athletes.
Nerds need to face up the fact that they're society's losers - low paid and disrespected - if they're ever going to learn how to lead their lives properly and make decent people of themselves. Too bad they seem mentally incapable of that, instead the hide away from reality inside their grandiose delusions of superior intellect even though all the evidence proves that their intellects are inferior. Smart people don't end up as nerds, nobody in their right mind would want to end up like that.

I mean American football is pretty faggy and the most watered-down shitty "sport" there is, but as >>16504543 and >>16505236 said, there are other cool sports around the world, a lot of which require some thinking and athleticism to be good at it (a moron doing bullfighting will just fucking die ASAP and a football (real football not the yank one) player that doesn't know how to coordinate with his teammates on a dime is only going to be a liability).

I think a lot of fags here go in the opposite direction just to be contrarians (namely sports good science bad) or maybe because they are retards (which is typical of the average person lacking a sense of self, so the average person), but sports and science are both pretty fun. It's just American football that's the odd man out.Just like psychology isn't a science, American football is a mockery of true sport.

I make more money gambling on sports than any STEM grad will ever earn with their degree. All it takes is solid knowledge of arithmetic and the willingness to watch sports on TV. The vast majority of sports bettors don't know what they're doing &/or just play for fun, people who approach gambling intelligently can make a lot of money. Theres a guy who has been posting his picks in the NBA general on /sp/ this season and he is hitting like 2/3 of his bets because he knows the game better than most gamblers do.

just be honest and admit that 'humans' and 'social activity' upset you because of the low social status you've managed to achieve for yourself as a consequence of your own poor decision making, if you do that then theres a possibility you might be able to undo some of your stupid choices and right your course in life before it's too late

Because science is too hard to get into and becomes exponentially harder with every year you're out of formal schooling. I'm a 30 year old high school drop out. Even when I was in school I could never ever comprehend basic math. And physics was never even taught to me. I don't remember anything. I autodidacted myself a liberal arts education. I even learned Latin. But in terms of stem its just hopeless. The early stuff doesn't activate any intellectual curiosity whatsoever its just rote, and it treats you like a retard or a child. And everything builds on itself so there's again no hope of experimenting to see if there's something you really like.

You're overrating how much value society actually places in sports. The NFL's revenue in 2022 was about 18-19 billion, which makes it slightly smaller than the corrugated cardboard and packaging industry. People don't watch sports movies or read about sports in comparison to other genres. Sure, when you ask someone about famous people, you'll get current athletes, musicians, artists, and politicians. When you ask about famous people from 20 years ago, you'll still get a ton of artists and politicians, but with some exceptions the athletes will be forgotten.
