Greetings,
I was wondering how the perks we gain from education start being taken into account in our actions.
For instance, I'm programming a Computer Virus of any sort, and, I happen to finish course CMT2600. does that impact on time it takes to finish that virus? Or will only kick in next time I start programming a virus?

As a scientist, I would advise you not to use argumentum ad verecundiam.
Nevertheless, when are we going to address perspectivism and realism, the "Disunity" of Science, Post-Normal Science and Values, and Epistemic Diversity?
What justifies the assumption that mathematics could serve as a foundational framework for linguistic exchange with extraterrestrial species upon initial contact? Furthermore, on what basis can we assert that other intelligent life forms would necessarily possess a mathematical system—or any cognitive framework—that aligns with human conceptual structures? How might we formally define 'intelligent species' in a non-anthropocentric context? Specifically, what are the essential properties—be they observable behaviors or internal cognitive capacities—that should be considered the universal benchmarks for intelligence? To what extent are the ontological, axiological, epistemological, and methodological assumptions underlying our 'universal' logical truths merely anthropocentric preconceptions? Is this perceived self-absorption in our theoretical endeavors a byproduct of biological constraints, wherein the human brain is physically incapable of perceiving the universe through a non-human lens? Does this focus on anthropocentric logic risk stagnating scientific progress within Platonistic and Positivistic dogmas of 'universal truth'? Given the existence of diverse, non-classical logical systems, could the pursuit of universal laws be interpreted as a biased imposition of order over chaos, driven more by a human psychological need for predictability than by the objective nature of reality?
Is Man the measure of all things, or it's all a problem of navel-gazing?
Mathematics is a construct conceptualized as a means to interpret data originated by the perceptions regarding the known world. Those perceptions are provided by our senses.
There is no field, discipline, science or knowledge in the Universe waiting for humankind (or other species, consciously aware or not) to find it. All of those are defined by beings of the humankind, that gather, analyse, interpret, and categorize data, and, then, validate and legitimize narratives to be considered the most approximately appropriate explanations about the object/subject/phenomenon.
The words seem to be anglo-saxonic, but the content isn't.
