Why does everyone discount psychedelics as hippy nonsense? They are real chemical compounds and they modify our consciousness in profound ways. Anyone who has taken them with sufficient dosage and attitude will tell you it is among the most compelling experiences you can have
There are parameters on consciousness. We know this from living. Run from a predator and you'll release adrenaline and experience an altered state of consciousness to aid in survival. Starve for a while and you'll start hallucinating. These are altered states of consciousness
Consciousness is clearly a parametrized space of some sort. What is the domain and range of consciousness? Psychedelics help us experiment. We dismiss consciousness as something intractable and a philosophical topic, but it is as real as anything
>It is the very thing which all these religions are yammering about. It's there, it's real. I mean, if you think the world is empty of adventure, then you just haven't been hanging out with the right crowd
>I mean, on a Saturday night within the confines of your own apartment on 5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms in silent darkness, I guarantee you you will believe that Ferdinand Magellan will take second place to you
>You will see things which no human being has ever seen before, and that no human being will ever see again. That's how big that universe is.
>The incredibly constricted space time locus of the here-and-now that evolution has forced upon us for survival purposes is simply one point in an apparently infinite hologram of explorable data that is the human world
>[The] entire world of every science fiction novel and story ever written is miniscule compared to the universes of strangeness and peculiarity that are accessible to any one of us if you will but apply the method...

I've been saying this about meth all along. But people just blow me off, like they are brainwashed or something.
Honestly i think science nerds just love huffing eachothers farts though, there is no real way to reason with them if you dont parrot the dogma.
You are doing gods work anon. Keep at it.
insanely fascinating. but the the truth is a lot of people aren't interested and will defend their ideologies to the grave. sad but to each their own.
>>9092939
That's a straw man because meth physically damages the body. Psychedelics do not. Meth is not a psychedelic. Nice try though at witty sarcasm.
I'm not saying everyone should go do psychedelics. But this severe hate towards them is wholly unfounded. People who want should definitely be allowed to experiment if they are responsible, the same way we're allowed to drink alcohol. And psychedelics should be used more than they are to map the brain.
Two questions:
How the fuck do you write a statement of purpose? (for grad school) I'm not some magical butterfly that when I was 3 years old discovered calculus and derived all of quantum mechanics, how the fuck do I tell them I'm interested in Physics when nothing revolutionary in my life ever happened that showed me my path. One day I just decided to start studying it.
Second: How the fuck do you get letters of recommendation from professors? I have had only a small handful of Physics professors. 6 in total. One mentioned he would write me one when the time comes, but I need 2 more minimum. Most of these professors I've only had for one semester and I don't think would feel comfortable writing me one, at least one with meaning.

Why do you like physics?
No reason? Just cause? If so, why the fuck do you think you belong in grad school?
>>9092306
>How the fuck do you get letters of recommendation from professors?
If you don't know the answer to this question, you better set your sights low. My recommenders were 1. A professor who supervised my undergrad REU research, 2. A professor who supervised my math competition group (I wasn't a superstar, but we met twice a week for several semesters and I had a great relationship with him), 3. a professor with whom I had taken 3 courses and gotten the highest grade in all of them.
If you don't have any extracurricular relationships with your professors, you're going to get hit hard in admissions.
>>9092306
pro tip: the best way into the grad program you want is to familiarize yourself with some of the groups work and contact them with questions. This shows you are leagues ahead in terms of actual commitment to a program.
What is the best thing to do when you find a stash of 200,000 recent papers with complete meta data like author name, tags, date of publication, author affiliation, conference or journal, name where published, abstract and every other detail.
I have several ideas.
1) Train an ANN to write research papers
2) Analyze the distribution of research in the countries around the world. Which countries publish more in conference and which in journals, the impact factor of each university and country. And publish these findings in a paper.
3) See what domains are the hot topic and which domains get ow much attention. Publish this research.
Please discuss the feasibility of these ideas and give more ideas.
>>9090965
give them to me
Put all the research papers into a self-learning neural network
>>9090965
It would be nice if you just extracted some simple metadata and put it into a CSV.
> List of titles of publications grouped by university
> Impact by university
> Extract influential papers
> etc
You can't trust university rankings because they are based off of bullshit criteria such as diversity. This would be very useful data.
> 1) Train an ANN to write research papers
That would never work.
I doubt you could get one to write a convincing children's book.
Tinder for scientists?
Is there something similar?
>>9096153
Being picky on tinder then ditching them if they are a moron over messages.
>>9096153
Yeah, and it's free. It is called going to the places grad students and/or professors typically hang out and then socializing.
Holy fuck I would cum inside her in 2 seconds of thrusting. I wish I could get a gf that cute

Hey
Would it be possible to "cure" sleep? If so, in our lifetimes?
>>9095355
A new drug entering the market called 'caffeine' should see advancement in the field.
>>9095355
No, you fucking retard.
Your brain needs sleep and sleep is enjoyable.
Take a shit load of uppers and caffeine, report back just how fucked you are in a month.
Danke.
>>9095430
Just cuz it's not currently possible doesn't mean it will never be possible. We just have to replicate the chemical and neurological effects of sleep while keeping the subject alive.
Or maybe we can do the dolphin-type thing and have one hemisphere sleep while the other one is awake, and vice versa.
I assume this people all come from the fucking desert,
where it's all year round 50°C therefore climate change is a hoax.
20 years ago the average summer temperature wasn't 50°C,
around September temperatures started to go down, last year around November fall started.
Where I live it has never happened until that temperature in winter were above 0, and even
never ever that no snow at all. All this is in southern europe, Italy.
Have you considered the possibility you're retarded if you think it's all a hoax?
>>9095273
i live in america where peoples ideas can be bought and sold with media propaganda.
they definitely are not smart, they arent retarded. the problem is the are uneducated and indoctrinated, so they believe whatever a talking head with their political beliefs will tell them
>so, you dont like abortion?
>me neither!
>let me tell you about all this other shit you shouldn't like

Have you considered the possibility you're astro-retarded if you think that's how logic works?
It's just fun to be ironic, especially about things that could lead to mass extinction events

How do I study evolutionary psychology in college (undergrad)? 90% of bio looks worthless. 90% of psychology looks worthless. 100% of anthropology looks worthless. I just want to study genes and their influence on us. Should Darwinists go full neuroscience?
>>9094556
you sound worthless kek
>>9094556
>evolutionary psychology
No one takes this field seriously.
>>9094557
Did your girlfriend break up with you for studying biology?

Yes, related. Not the same thing, so we differ because we want discussion of both science and mathematics.

has anybody grown up with stupid parents? how did it affect you?

>never realy thaught me anything outside the absolute most basic skills
>every argument we had they were akin to a child controlled by their emotions
always wondered how the fuck did i even got into college.
I know that feel bro. What's worse is that you're their offspring, so matter how much more intelligent you may feel in comparison to them, you are only a standard deviation above at the absolute max.
>>9094166
my parents are smart but lower class so thoroughly indoctrinated and uneducated
my mom was a school teacher that suffered through reading me animal encyclopedias(at my demand) from a very young age, i has an excellent early childhood and it made me smarter than everyone else around me. My father is a great man who provided for us and took me out fishing often, both were very supportive and encouraged me to pursue my dreams.
I still turned out all fucked up, I blame public education, and as always authority.
