>one shot at life>born southeast asian, didn't get breastfed, lazy, brainlet, manletHow do i fix this /sci/?
>>12166819compared to almost anything online, yes. would you rather get links to archived sources or book recommendations on some board on 4chan or watch a streamer on twitch whore themselves out or some shitty YouTube "documentary" missing half the main points on the topic and linking no sources? only other website i can honestly think of is khan academy for decent info on science shit but that gets useless after you go past high school level and university courses on YouTube are always garbage
At least you're yellow and therefore have high iq so the neo nazis will worship you

>>12166879He's gigachad for being born in a rich communist country that pays for all your healthcare, pays you great welfare, pays for your education and pays you 1000 dollars a month for 6 years of your Education?Then he throws it all away to live like a bum American
>>12166887this desu. if i was an economically disadvantaged south asian manlet at least i'd have an excuse. the reality is that i threw my life away so i could play more dota2
Why can't there just be an extremely dense star inside a black hole? Why does it have to be a singularity?
There might be.
>>12166875>singularityinfinity is math, not physics.there's something there, maybe a lump of strings. No way to know exactly.

What are the evolutionary benefits of depression?
>>12153982>its another "evolutionary benefits" thread
>>12153982Evolution doesn't work in terms of benefits. It works in terms of non-detriments. Scientifically speaking, humans aren't the product of billions of years of selection of beneficial traits and random mutations; we are the culmination of trimming out things that would result in our organistic demise. That being said, depression could never proliferate enough to threaten our species.
Some cool ass fucking books.
>>12153982>implying there is a benefit>implying that it isn't just a side-effect of our serotonergic systemsanyway, if you're socially low-ranking then you get depressed and don't want to do stuff, and then your low-ranking genes can fuck off
>>12153982Probably semi-hibernation that locks in with seasonal scarcity of food. You eat more when you manage to get it and lay around motionless in despair so you don’t burn it off. Of course, in the olden days Depression was much more bearable because you actually could just lay around for months and months of ice age winter, doing nothing but staring at stalactites listlessly, going for a walk in the snow, and occasionally keeping warm by snuggling with a busty cave woman as you eat from your massive supply of mammoth jerky.
How is 'interest' defined scientifically?Is there a neurological substrate?By 'interest' I mean the feeling I got when I learned about Euler's identity or read about the double slit experiment.

What's the answer to global warming?
>>12166849cont Third paper is a pretty boring but in a nutshell it shows decreasing cloudcover in greenland has been accelerating melting ice sheets during the 2000s compared to the 80s. Which is kind of bad for you because again Mclean claims more cloud cover in the 2000s compared to the 80s which according to him should result in net cooling. This one isn't a complete self own as it's regional vs global, bit it's still showing the opposite of what you claimed. (reading again could have saved you embarrassment but it's fun for me i guess.)4th paper is also interesting, but isn't it a little weird to link a paper examining how clouds react to warming from an increase in CO2 and if this is a negative or positive feedback when your entire argument is that CO2 doesn't matter? Kinda weird bro, again try reading reading your links first.
>>12164443I what way is that an answer?
>>12166863Actually no.
>>12165411Germany has had emission certs for decades now, it is not working.
>>12166877no? if US living standards dropped to something more sensible, let's say in between South American and European levels, it would still have a larger co2 footprint than sub-saharan Africa.

Well /sci/?
>>12159569no idea, i only did up to electro statics and stopped, i dont even understand how circuits work at all aside from some basic understanding on conductor property's making 0 internal electric field because it cancels out somehow, if someone can explain the proof of that to me without using line integrals i will be very happy
>>12166838A conductor doesn't have 0 internal electric field, wtf? In DC current, electric field inside conductor is constant, the reason is that, if it weren't constant, the electrons of the metal would feel a force and rearrange themselves in the field in such a way that the gradient in the field disappears and the field becomes constant again. In AC current, you get a skin effect where the majority (actually depends on frequency, higher frequency, larger proportion) of carriers are located on the outside surface of the conductor, but this doesn't mean field is 0 inside either.
>>12166861>electro statics>starts talking about electro dynamicsanon i...
>>12166880Shit, my bad bro
>>12166905nah its cool i shouldn't be such an ass about it. anyway you know the proof? i can understand why is cancels out internally but i dont get why all the electrons build up on the surface (or really understand what they mean by "surface" in the first place)
Why are brown people so low IQ?
>>12165780I don't get these threads. It's not productive.
>>12166063The irish
>>12166122Suddenly you're moving to socio-economic factors?
>>12165778white were low iq unill they started killing criminals and gruadualy rose their avarage iq. it was still nowhere near the same as blacks though and that can be attributed to having to survive winter and having to think into the future to be able to store food and build shelter that can insulate
>>12166100this>>12166336It is cold during winter. Doubly so during an Ice Age, which was last 100,000 years.
There are lots of posts on internet forums of people asking if they could study the material that is taught in an undergrad program of subject xyz within 4-6 months on their own.Has any of you actually done that? Even though these questions are not as common on /sci/ than on other sites, I'm still curious whether people asking these kinds of questions actually then went ahead and put in the hard work that is required.
>>12165201I've already graduated college in engineering, so I don't have this problem, but your original advice about GitHub is irrelevant for anyone but aspiring programmers, which is but a sliver of general STEM fields
Not a meme if you actually have thr discipline/obsession to learn. Most people don't but of you really want to learn something you will.
>>12163656All studying is self studying. College is a scam.
>>12163656Op u are retarded. I wonder how studying looks in your head. You are probably the type of person who complains about teacher "not teaching anything" even though you are the one supposed to teach yourself using resources given to you. Study is always self study. Most people are retards who don't get it and blame everything but themselves and you are one of them OP YOU ARE RETARD !
>>12163656It depends.It's all about self-discipline mah dood

>>12166867I mean it gets 7 times the helium 3 flux that the moon does and it has a larger surface area.
today we remember the smartest person, anon, /sci/ poster that has ever lived. you are not dead for you are right, relativity of simultaneity implies eternalism. anyone that disagrees needs to post pictures of themselves shirtless and then we will decide who is really correct.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9NhjMOWUNYMario Alejandro MontañoApril 15 1997 to April 12 2020.The beginning of time to the end of time.
>>12166607>Healthy people do not have a desire to kill themselves. It is a sign of inflammation when somebody has those thoughts.Citation needed>i disagree, he is saying that his psyche is inflamedhe did not say that. whether or not your hypothesis is true, you can feasibly simultaneously not believe in it and not like yourself. just because he says one, does not mean he himself is saying the other. you can't just interpret everything anyone says into being based on the "correct" assumptions
>>12166607Why is /med/ so retarded?
>>12166619>Healthy people do not have a desire to kill themselves.common sense>It is a sign of inflammation when somebody has those thoughts.an analogy, a perspective - the same way you address physical inflammation, mental phenomena like "killing yourself" needs same attention>>12166640unfortunately the med profession is not dealing very well with mental health in our age and time. they do preform extra ordinary well regarding physical body. so i wouldn't label it as /med/ retard. maybe more just anon (me) is retard.
>>12166640This has nothing to do with /med/. This is just retards trying to convince you and themselves of ideas which they pulled out of their ass, by drawing parallels to actual science or commonly known truths as you can observe here: >>12166607>>12166573The mere association with a concept you accept as true and the prefacing with scientific language raises their credibility and makes people assume they're experts, as you evidently did.
>>12166727>by drawing parallels to actual science>scientific language raises their credibility and makes people assume they're expertsget out of here and check your power levelliteracy, which i am not a good example of, raises your credibility and perceived intelligence>like none of us has ever heard about hubbard and his scientology hijacked scientific language and turned it into a cultish gold minewhat's your opinion on the following:"We place no reliance on Virgin or PigeonOur method is Science, our aim is Religion"
why is murder not legal if we don't have free will?
Im gonna blow your minds hereWe are incapable of figuring out whether we truly have free willTherefore we have to assume we do otherwise some people would relinquish responsibility
>>12166805literally best post in the thread
>>12166754>I've already repeatedly answered this retarded objection. I am not using indeterminism as evidence for free will. That would be retarded. I'm merely using indeterminism to refute the main objection to free will, namely determinism.The evidence of free will is of completely different nature: namely my immediate perception that I have free will.you asked "What other ways are there?" (than determinism, for free will to not exist), I answered for all the indeterministic stuff just being random is a way for free will to not exist in an indeterministic universe. Don't blame me for thinking that you think indeterminism = free will when you phrase the question like that. And you claimed that you have "never seen anyone argue against free will without assuming determinism", when it has been many people's objection like Sam Harris or several in this thread that indeterminism is just randomness which is not free will. A common argument whether you agree or disagree with it.
>>12159487Why is "legal" even a thing if we don't have free will?
>>12163707Breathing is not free will you retard, it's an unconscious reflex that you have no control over. You can't decide today that you don't want to breathe anymore. Seriously 90% of the idiots in this thread talking about quantum shit have no idea what free will is or how it's defined. You are all talking out of your asses. Understand the biological definition first and then this thread will get interesting.
