I've been thinking about >>>/g/83557014 since reading it the other night and it has me wondering. The idea of an alternate history that's different from the one we experience led me to thinking about how we would disprove this theory 250 years from now, and I kinda realized, if you can simulate a human, you can run an android. From there it was a question about the appearance of immortality and snowballed into which families are most likely to be androids in hiding when we assume that the singularity actually happened like 800 years ago.

Supposing that any one of us can't disprove literally every time period other than the one preceding such developments, when would be the ideal time to start auditing very old and established families on the grounds that they might secretly be non-living parasites?

When I try to ignore these intrusive thoughts, it feels so painful. I feel like I am getting a heart attack. I cannot distinguish what is real or not anymore, I am psychologically destroyed

I had really bad OCD, to the point it was 16 hours some days of non-stop rituals. Honestly not sure how I didn't off myself, tried literally every solution possible, multiple meds, multiple psychs, a few weeks in the hospital, ect.
What eventually cured me was doing Ayahasuca, probably the worst experience of my life but I would do it again in a heart beat as it completely cured my ocd and made me realize what a joke the modern psychiatry system is.

I know that feel anon, I was at my worst as a young teen and it had gotten slightly better as I've gotten older. But I still have my OCD in the form of mental loops, intrusive thoughts (which also form into thought loops) and physical tics. I hate it so much I just wish it was gone. I'm also mad when I see people online who use ocd as a quirky illness when they clearly don't have it.

What's the point of this?

In Canada, 18 people from ages 0-19 died from COVID-19 over 2 years. Majority of them were kids on the verge of death. Not to mention, they were on the older side of 10+ as well.

More kids from 0-10 die from falling, in car accidents, and drowning individually than this.

Why do kids have to be vaccinated?

So this is essentially what we're seeing here. It works similar to many other stories involving their fraud. 1) Pay a bunch of shills to keep repeating the line that it's safe and effective, even when it's not. When new data comes out, just crank up the propaganda to eleven. 2) Call any who aren't shills misinformers, blame them for intentionally spreading the disease for no reason. Also ignore everything that they actually says. 3) Wokeists love the narrative of progress and science and feeling relevant through the act of telling other people what to do / being able to force other people to follow their leaders agenda, so they are all on board, even if it means there must be some "acceptable losses". 4) Roll in the money.

im currently puting together some research on improving the oxygen carrying abilities of blood. The current large limitation on human haemoglobin is that it requires to be in a red blood cell, only about 35% by volume of a red blood cell is haemoglobin, meaning if you made up the same hemocrit equivalent of cell free oxygen carrier's you'd increase blood oxygen carrying capacity 3x for the same volumetric serum displacement of blood without increasing viscosity, i currently plan on enhancing myself with Chromium ii substituted earth worm erythrocruorin, by my estimations my blood will be bright aqua while deoxygenated and a deep indigo while oxygenated

JWST was originally intended to have been launched in 2007, the program was already a disappointing failure more than a decade ago.
The fact that they were unwilling admit that the original plan was unrealistic and cut their losses in 2007 and instead insisted on spending over 3000% of the original budget just to launch a decade and half late only multiplies the cringe factor.
Because they wasted so much money and have a guilty conscience over it, we will now have to suffer through a decade of exaggerations and lies about the importance and significance of any data JWST might happen to gather.

That's true. Not only mineral composition matters but physical processes such as heat, pressure, erosion & weathering, etc. Rocks can tell you a lot about how it was made and how it got there e.g. the difference between a conglomerate and a breccia.

Started hobby collecting old books about 2 years ago, mainly classroom math/science/history books. Most of them are from 1800's - 1910. Quickly notice, despite the stilted writing style, it's much easier to understand concepts from these old books compared to their modern day equivalents. Information is concise, examples/explanations are not midwit word problems or analogys, amazing pictures and diagrams. My largest epiphany of how fucked books are hits me when I get hold of a 1800's medical book called "A text-book of human physiology" by Flint, Austin. It has amazing in-depth explanations and detailed gorgeous hand drawn diagrams, you can't find anything like this online or is most basic medical books.

WTF happened? I realize information has been "dumbed-down" or even censored but still I never knew it was to such a great extent.

What's the current science on sex/gender differences as far as nature goes?
As a MtF who has interests which are exceptionally masculine even as far as men go, I've always been interested in this question but unfortunately I don't really understand statistics, biology or psychology so reading studies is a bit difficult

I've noticed the following things
1. the debate is mostly focused on ability rather than interest, so for example it's never about whether boys naturally like mathematics more but rather about whether boys are naturally better at mathematics, if a boy likes playing with a truck it's always put in the context of future careers with the implication that girls are somehow worse at engineering for example and so when they prove that girls are equally as good at mathematics and physics in school they dismiss the difference
2. sometimes the fact that there are differences in interest and behaviour from a very early age is accepted but because the authors are so tunnel visioned on careers they dismiss these differences as being very small and essentially meaningless (probably just saying the same thing desu)

I understand that there's definitely an additional factor in terms of interest vs ability, I doubt someone's ability would be affected by social factors beyond say, the access to practice but I find it hard to accept that if these researchers admit that from a very young age boys prefer playing with trucks compared to girls then the difference in interests in adolescence/adulthood is entirely nurture
Is the whole empathising-systemising theory still taken seriously today btw?

Well why did you post something that's unrelated to this thread?
>>
>>13770838
I think "Masculine interests" has basis in biology, it has to, but has been tempered culturally over thousands of years. If boys and girls who had never heard of trucks before were put in a room with toy trucks I think the aesthetics of the truck would guide which one plays with it more.
For something like maths I think neither really care about it more than the other innately but boys may be more attracted to what numbers can be associated with. I don't know if there's any research to back this but it's my hunch.
