Because they suffer more. Suffering is good. Without it, we tend to fall apart. With it, we tend to get better.

Ease of use. Python is hard to learn to use for math. It requires a strong programming and math background. Mathematica's syntax is more natural and it doesn't require learning num…

Laptops in university are mostly about status signalling. Paper is much more efficient and practical for note taking.

At all times up until present - constantly fluctuating, but generally trending upwards with the ascent of the evolution of life and of human beings. And perhaps it will continue fo…
