"Trapped inside their mind..." Lets get it out with a crowbar!
CloysterOysterX3
Science doesn't work like that. However, more educated people means more brainpower to process and solve problems
Halflingflinger
That's.. that's not how it works.
KaytManninagh
The Masonic Lodge will decide who gets free education and when cancer is no longer profitable.....
echonite
You could flip this too. What if the next madman is getting an education right now?
DrMardini
It would be clear in medical school that a 'cure for cancer' is way too simplistic...there are many cures for many cancers. Not one disease
Bebii
I've seen some bullshit but God damn....

Imgur: where Tumblr goes on holidays.
irlborat
This is bullshit. The cure for cancer doesn't just exist in your mind. People who are educated have to work hard to get a cure for cancer/1
irlborat
In their minds and into the hands of doctors. Nothing is predetermined and no one just knows something, achievements like these take work.
NewCrobuzonCitizen
He might be born outside of US, where that would not matter.
NotaClipaMagazine
What about how everyone goes to college, undergrad degrees are practically worthless and everyone has crippling debt? I'll take cancer.
Brant04
OMG IM SCREAMING, I CANT BREATHE, ALWAYS UPVOTE FARMBOY ISAAC NEWTON, DELETE THIS, I THINK IM UNIQUE BUT IM AS BASIC AS ANYONE ELSE
SprungLake
No matter how right they are, saying "THIS THIS THIS" makes me not want to listen to whatever they said.
Bebii
Agreed! Or, alternatively, THIS THIS THIS!!!!
IllusivePanda
What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of someone who chose to major in 16th century English Literature instead of medicine?
BlackIC
It's not.
IllusivePanda
Miztickow
Just think about it. If Newton didn't get that scholarship, we wouldn't have gravity right now.
Skawomplious
The idea that only one person can discover a thing is so fucking simple it makes my brain bleed. Vivian needs to shut her yap.
L3viath0n
Hell, science is practically built on multiple people mostly independently discovering or verifying something.

MoaConstrictor
Many scientific breakthroughs are not pioneered by a single person, even though one person may be credited it would have happened regardless
piratica108
In fact most works on genius are influenced greatly by the current state of the culture they live in. A lot of the time, two people on 1/2

You make the assumption that major advances like that are individual efforts. They are not.

So what you're saying is that he was the original nerd, died a vrigin, loved math, and he even had a bully, damn that's some Hollywood stuff
Lionskull
Also, Leibniz independently discovered calculus.
FirstEdition
Newton did much more than just calculus. Leibniz was great and all but very few compare to Newton
Lionskull
dude, don't comment on shit more than a week old. i don't even know what i was talking about.
FirstEdition
browsing in random and sometimes I just can't resist
TimeFoDat
Also this is not how cancer works; or how discovering new things works ... this isn't how ANY of this works!
auscaliber
You're right, the main thrust of their argument about access to education holds no water because it takes multiple people. You dolt.
StalkerSan
I really hate the phrase "this isn't how this works" or similar ones. EXPLAIN how it's supposed to instead of just stating that it doesn't.
TimeFoDat
Well I only get 140 characters. Cancer is not 1 blanket disease. Discoveries aren't pre-programmed into people, they're DISCOVERED.
chardlz
Dude, that doesn't fit the narrative, don't you think lying to anecdotally prove your point is way better than making rational arguments????
JTayKlg
I'm mostly okay with the fact that objective truth is always a little grey
cobragrunt
Whatever sells newspapers... or however news stations make their money now.
ZeldaShotFirst
Clickbait.
ThatJerkYouKnow
Uh ok, I'll take the bait. What's the rational argument you're trying to make?
chardlz
I'm not, i'm making a joke that people make shit up/believe things because it fits their world view even when it's entirely untrue
chardlz
It's not much of an argument because it's pretty widely accepted so i'm just making a tongue in cheek comment about the post being false
ThatJerkYouKnow
Oh. No rational argument. Disappointing.
RealFuckinNito
The cure for cancer cannot be trapped in no uneducated mind you dumb fucks, it cannot be trapped in no educated mind either (you dumb fucks)
RealFuckinNito
science works through fucking evidence, trial and error, and for your (clearly uneducated) minds there's already plenty of cures for cancer
RealFuckinNito
the problem is making them not "cure" the life of every other cell in your body, because this is a multilayered issue and you can't just go
RealFuckinNito
and get a "genius" to solve it like that, you need decades of research by multiple fucking teams, because that's how fucking science works,
RealFuckinNito
(you dumb fucks) I mean I'm pro-universal education here but search a better fucking argument ffs, I can tell you a bunch that are better
RealFuckinNito
than "what if the next genius doesn't go to school? Also let me fucking BLATANTLY LIE ABOUT NEWTON!" You fucking twats make those that agree
PileOfWalthers
Sorry, most of you are just dumb as shit and not because "you can't afford an education"
citoyenne
Hey, speak for yourself. I'm dumb as shit AND I can afford and education.
shhep
No disrespect but some of you is dumb because when in Polish elementary school kids learn simple maths, American kids play-pretend kitchen
BrokeMyFunnyBone
No, you have it all wrong. In American elementary school, kids learn calculus.
Octwo
You reek of someone who heard someone say that once and immediate believed it as fact.
shhep
and it is mind-boggling to me. Calculus 101 from US uni? Polish high school. Not even bragging (it was pain in the ass for everyone), but it
shhep
does result in a lot of crazy good IT specs for instance.
absentblue
Dunno what US schools you're referring to. Every high school in my city had two levels of Calculus.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Calculus is available in both Uni AND high school in the U.S.
sunriseswede
So, is your point that that same cure could be in the mind of an aborted baby? I hear you.
Promethianfire
What? NO YOU HATE WOMEN!
DickPicEnthusiast
Not the mind, in the head. Probably some kind of stem cell therapy we're not funding.
zippyzozippyzayzippyzappyzoopyzee
I think the point is more if you apply stupid fucking reductionist logic to a complex issue you get OMG-types into an all-caps frenzy.
DoctorMantisTobogganMD
I feel like it is a lot easier to not give a fuck about those kinds of things, rather than forcing a viewpoint on many people.
itsdarkandwearewearingsunglasses
But what if they are the next hitler? World saved.
sunriseswede
One Hitler does not equal one cure for cancer. I prefer to be optimistic.
itsdarkandwearewearingsunglasses
I prefer to be realistic, prolife can force kids to be born in unhealthy families or bad situations. It's not my place to judge that choice.
sunriseswede
Unless your point is that unhealthy fams cannot produce genius, your point does not correlate.
chardlz
In fact, creative genius is statistically more likely to occur in a life of adversity. Those who change the world don't do it w/o overcoming
majinrat
i was going to reference the advances from the nazis and make a dark joke but i cant find the same info as a few years ago...only satire...
MilkBubbleTea
There was a tumblr post where they made a good point on how what if the cure could be in the mind of a pregnant woman who had to sacrifice
MilkBubbleTea
her education bc she had to care for the child. You can't always use this aborted baby point bc what about the mother?
chardlz
It's almost like everybody has potential but the vast majority of people will never do anything ground breaking
SergeantSalsa
I found no source for her claim. Just that his father was considered wealthy and that Isaac had to work a lot to afford his tuition
Cassiraa
And that Isaac Newton.... was Barak Obama.

I heard that claim about Alexander Fleming. Saved a young Churchill from drowning, got education. Discovered penicillin.
ItsLettuceBitch
It's tumblr what do you expect? Over-exeggerating and false info is like 90% of what's on the cancerous shit hole.
jaminjimmyjames
There's some debate about whether Humfrey Babington may have been his patron at Cambridge, since Newton associated with the upper class 1/2
jaminjimmyjames
student instead of the other sizars. It wouldn't mean that the picture is accurate. Just that he probably didn't need to work that hard. 2/2

Jrwoodchuck
So why can everyone work a lot for their tuition?
Jrwoodchuck
Cant*
SergeantSalsa
It's taxing and that's been proven with research. Sure, no need to give it all for free but thousands a year is too much
Jrwoodchuck
It's taxing, sure... but you can go to more affordable colleges. I worked for my education, and got it at an affordable place.
SergeantSalsa
It can also be arranged so that you don't have to work a lot while studying. That way the nation gets workers that aren't already wrecks
Truefacted
There is no simple cure for cancer.
MerToo
No, but it would be really nice to have one.
ShrubNinja
What?! There's no magical antidote plant that will cure all forms of cancer without fail?! Damnit!
FuckPHP
No but there could be a magical mix of synthetic compounds that will cure the most deadly kinds.
jpparkenbone
That's because cancer is an umbrella term for a lot of different illnesses that have a similar cause.
StaringAtSidewalks
And that similar cause may be caused by many different things.
jpparkenbone
Right. A crazy amount of things are carcinogenic.
StaringAtSidewalks
But not bacon/sausage as some people may believe.
bobziIIa
Well in all fairness, there could be some currently unforseen invention that could cure all cancer. Just sayin.
TheUnfarted
The concept that the cure for cancer is somehow "stuck" in someone's head is silly and a misrepresentation of how knowledge and science work
justleaveittome
OMG YASS I WILL NEVER STOP REBLOGGING THIS
LuckyLucanos
THIS. THIS. THIS.
Juleva
You missed the point entirely, you obviously know she meant that what if the person with the ability to progress this "cure" lacks higher
Juleva
Education because its too expensive.
EmmaAnna
I don't think that's the point.
theendisnai
One person couldn't discover any kind of cure in this day and age. It takes many people and a lot of money. It's not just about smarts.
potshot
It is. The cure, if we figure one out, is the work of thousands of people over the period of decades working hard, not being brilliant.
EmmaAnna
This thing is not about curing cancer specifically, it's about how people who are capable of great things are denied a decent eduation (1)
EmmaAnna
not because they can't or won't learn, but because of their status of living that they were born into (and didn't choose)
potshot
Don't get me wrong, I agree that education should be a universal right, but this post is appealing to emotion by simplifying a complex (1)
