it's not so much that it's difficult, it's that it's useless. what is the point of using gravity to determine precision up to the 25th decimal when the best detectors don't allow you to measure precisely beyond 5 decimals and when the order of calculations you used in qed mean that your theoretical prediction is only accurate to the 10th decimal.
it's like measuring a specific grain of sand and comparing to the size of the earth: maybe you can measure the grain with precision but that individual grain won't matter when sizing up a planet

Self-awareness is the only unquestionable thing for a subject, retard.

>>12788529
I think his point wasnt free will so much as the feeling of an 'I'. Everything you experience might be an illusion, but the feeling of existence itself cannot be an illusion.

Technically the only people who deserve anything are those who do manual labor and actually build civilization with their hands. Everyone else is just a parasite stealing from those people. Studying physics and math is way more respectable than anything “specialized” as you put it. Although no person who goes to college deserves anything.

You realize all those burnouts only cite a bachelor's right? Masters and PhD are employable. Bachelor's aren't. A bs. in math is just that: bs

>>12788370
I work only with physics and math bachelor's. They're unemployed because those degree programs are not telling them the jobs they should be applying for. FYI if you have a BS in physics and math, work for the DoD as a civilian they eat you up and they'll pay for your masters/PhD. In addition look for jobs in the following focuses:

-Applied Statistics for physical things (if you're a physics student)
-Operations Research
-General Research Analyst

You have to look around a lot, because retards in HR and snobby mathematicians and physicists won't let you call yourself one without a PhD so all the BS jobs get filtered into these stupid obscurified names. Research Analyst especially is full of bullshit since it changes based on every company, some want fucking business majors for retards sake.

Anyway, look around on https://www.onetonline.org/ as well. Fucking job sites like glassdoor and indeed are shit for actually filtering by more obscure job titles. Onetonline is much better for finding job titles first (and skills needed/associated with them) and THEN job postings.

I'm better at my job than people with degrees.

>not everyone can be lucky
then no one should be allowed to be
weird straw man pretending people who need transplants did it to themselves. let’s say someone did destroy their own liver through drinking - it just pushes the bad luck a bit further. why do they have such horrible anxiety that they’re forced to drink themselves into a haze every day?

>>12789141
>all lucky people starve within a few months because there’s not a single skilled or intelligent or useful one among them
Are you seriously implying genetics play no role in intelligence? Many smart people have good genes, and over half of millionaires are self-made. There would be plenty of intelligent and skilled people left based on your arbitrary criteria.

>>12789176
>self made
if you’re good looking you aren’t self made anything. you were handed everything through charity. guessing that eliminates 90% of “””self made””” men.

>>12789173

I just want to know if they gave the place 2 new names or what's the deal.

/x?p?x???t?p??sk?c?/

/x/ is pronounced harsher than /h/ like in German "H" or "Ch" and the Jewish "Kh"

Average is anything from 4-6. Beauty is averaged at 5 with a standard deviation of about 1 (maybe 1.5). This woman is most definitely not 2-3 standard deviations high in the beauty department. At most she's 1 standard deviation above the mean, which is average beauty. She's a 6, and on a really good day at most a 7.

>>12788033
It's a parasocial relationship.
She's attractive-ish, in an unconventional way, and does the whole shy, awkward autistic thing, which makes her seem somewhat attainable to the simps, at least in their imagination.
Her simps could never, even in their imagination, see themselves with a genuine smokeshow like Nancy PI.

Nancy is 10x uglier tho

>>12788244
NanyPi is marginally more attractive. A stable 7, with is good without makeup. If she dolled herself up she'd be an 8. OPs girl is a stable 5-6, and if she tried really hard she maxes at a 7. NanyPi doesn't even need to try and she's a 7. That's the difference between being hot and being average.

Nut*

>>12788008
It is a delusion.

>>12788008
What causes post but clarity? The rejection of conjunctions I think

>>12788008
leading up to a nut your animal brain has been filling up with hormones to trigger arousal to a point of climax, dopamine is dropped and you're high off the release of stress.
it's all about the chemical triggers carried out unconsciously, like in extreme focus or fight/flight releases cortisol, you have an endorphin rush that builds up to orgasm and a refractory period (triggered by climax)
its similar to the action potential response, including the nut shiver some people get, which is multiple retriggering at that moment (and the point that pseudoscientists try to put their sex yoga in place) until the equivalent repolarization occurs. in that refractory period, if put in simple terms, your animal brain is returning to normal arousal, which when it overshoots gives a longer period where arousal is essentially shut down, even below your normal state of mind/"hornyness."
comparative animal biology goes over the importance of these sorts of hormone cascades during times of stress or arousal.

>>12789246
also what I mean with the shuttering is not "multiple orgasms like the woman's side where there are multiple retriggering, guys get one above the threshold for orgasm but it's extended with multiple cascades while staying beyond the threshold between nerves until hormones block it from firing in your head.

>>12787960
Why do you ask me, I'm just a humble shitposter.
Ask them fancypants over at /lit/

No, it's only the beginning

>>12787960
No. Even if you're the edgiest of reddit atheists, death is not the end. Provided you don't selfishly cremate yourself, your body will provide nutrients to the worms and bugs that live within the soil, growing existing life so that the ecosystem you reside in may continue. You give back to the earth just as you've taken from it your whole life. It's all cyclical, anon.

Smoke DMT to find out

I doubt anyone actually believes it is, even if it is.

Back when I was into bullet hell shooters, I used to warm up by running the game at 2x speed for a while, and then start my actual run at the original speed. The bullets seemed slower than usual and it was almost kinda spooky how effective it was. So yeah you definitely could experience more "things per second" if your brain was faster.

You've probably thought of the classic "does everyone see colours the same way?" question, but have you thought of "does everyone experience time at the same speed?"

This is why it’s difficult to swat a fly. They see things at a higher frame rate so experience time more slowly.

>>12787923
I'm pretty sure that basically is how it works. When I've used psychedelic drugs I've experienced time slow to a crawl because each passing moment comes cascading with signicantly more information than experiencing the world straight. Conversely, another phenomenon I've experienced while incredibly fatigued is that when I'm listening to music, even a song I know well, the song seems to be playing slightly faster and I suspect this is because the brain is processing far less info due to exhaustion.

>>12787923
I think that's what makes some professional athletes so good. Their reaction times are just a bit faster because their perception runs a bit faster, making the world around them seem slowe.r

>>12787923
Even if our universe worked purely by Newtonian mechanics rather than by general relativity, we would experience our surroundings in slow motion if we could run our brains faster.

>>12796837
Not sure if grey is the right word. It just doesn't really *pop* with color. By default it has the same lack of color as the emptiness when you don't imagine anything.

>>12796848
So what are you actually doing when you're imagining? Is it open or closed? Does it appear in your visual field and overtake the black or is it on a separate "plane" in your head? I've read people give different accounts on this, I guess because it's too difficult for people to describe personal experiences in a way that's understandable. For me everything I visualize is in the back of my head. It doesn't actually show up in my visual field, so if I closed my eyes it's just black, but I still "see" it. No issues with colors or keeping it together. Hard to describe.

>>12796853
Your description of it being in the back of the head makes sense to me. But if I focus enough on related memories I can get it appear in my visual field too I guess?

>>12796853
I have read that some people can actually superimpose their imagination on an empty sheet of paper or something. One has to wonder how many people are misdiagnosed as schizo or something just because they describe a normal visualization ability that the psych doesn't know about.

My ex had synesthesia and whe could recall dates easier by memorising the combination of colours of the digits.
I dont think there is any concrete evidence of photographic memory.

So i assume the current theories on memory are correct and you recall everything from paradigms you make. If you never pay attention to a minor detail it will never register in the list of paradigms in order to recall it

>>12788429
Stop confusing phenotype and genotype.
For the same reasons you cannot call each of your 46 chromosomes independent life forms is the same reason why plasmids are not independent living forms, you fucking dumbass.

The same reason you cannot call a mitochondria an independent living form anymore. It is part of the structure of a cell.

a plasmid is not a chromosome
I literally have a diagram of a plasmid that reproduces outside of binary fission, INDEPENDENT of the host bacteria.

>>12787793
the best definition I've heard for life is :
"a chemical system that uses energy to keep itself from reaching chemical equilibrium"

here's an article with a bit more sophistication on the individuality(selfishness, living for the benefit of the cell or for self-replication) of DNA replicators and viral vehicles to explore the living-ness of viruses compared to other non-chromosomal DNA. transformation and plasmid-induced vehicles(conjugation) are inherently down to the cells consenting to pick up or send DNA so their mode of packaging is KEY to distinguishing an f plasmid from a virus in terms of movement and independence.

viruses are still not alive in a colloquial sense and fall in the quasi-living "certainly not rocks" camp.

Vagina is not a hole, topologically speaking

>>12788161
Topologically speaking, how many holes does a man have? The mouth and nostrils seem to connect to the urethra and the anus. Ears and cornea appear independent. So three unique holes?

>>12788170
>seem to connect to the urethra and the anus

Not really, the anus is connected to the mouth and to the lungs.

Nostrils are connected to each other.

Eyes are tricky because if you consider the hole of the optic nerve then you'll have that the eyes are connected to the opening of the skull.

Urethra is not a hole but a cavity.
