Why are high iq people psychopathic?
>>9063974
i dont think that is true.
I have an extremely high iq and have a strong moral integrity. My morals are just off kilter. Also i have a hard time feeling emotions and never emotionally connect to other humans. i can mirror the feelings of others but have none of my own. it wasn't always that way. What i do connect to melts away fast. i consider pic related and myself to have the same result from similar trauma. Luckily for me i snapped at a much younger age and didnt have the means to do what he did, so i had time to adjust to the near constant grief with intricate and fantasy. im cold and pragmatic now, a drone on autopilot while my mind goes to brighter horizons. i feel perfectly sane but they say i have a "personality disorder"

>high iq people psychopathic
is false
>>9063974
They aren't. There were studies that showed psychopaths, sociopaths, and criminals who had them like serial killers had below average IQs.
>>9064087
Depends on what you define as a "psychopath," of course.
What IS true about people with high IQs is that they're able to more easily override their own evolutionary psychology. Homosexuality, atheism, an inability to communicate with females, subscription to ideologies that downright subvert the country that they live in (Communism, Anarchism, neofash). These are all things that are more prevalent in people with high IQs but are far from the norm for the species as a whole.
Op's post is colored by the fact that you only really remember serial killers who were particularly impressive in their own right. Bundy, Dahmer, JWG, these are not small kill counts by serial killer standards. Intelligence and the caution are needed to get away with so many before they figure you out, especially if you're plucking them out of your own town.
What does sci think about vertical farming technologies like: Aeroponics, Aquaponics, Hydroponics?
In addition what do you think about the advancement of LED technology especially with application to growing plants. Such as unique rest/light timings for faster growth.
Will genetic engineering and synthetic biology be huge for optimizing for vertical farming? Do you think the future is instead in vitro meat and vat-created foods rather than "grown" through natural processes? Does Vertical Farming counter some fears of climate change making farming unpredictable?
This thread is for discussion of Vertical Farming
Video on Aquaponics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26xpMCXP9bw
world's largest vertical farm is in USA and utilizes Aeroponics. Some pretty big investors backed it like RBH, Prudential and Goldman Sachs.

kill yourself low IQ shitter. Climate change as end of world scenario is just not correct.
It's proven, sub-saharan Africans are a different species

Doesn't this prove africans are the next stage in human evolution? Being a different species doesn't necessarily mean that they are lesser, they could be higher than the typical human.
I guess whitey better start preparing for the black uprising.
I've got two sci fi questions for /sci/, it's been fascinating me for a while.
1) Would interplanetary trade ever be profitable? At least enough for some futuristic swashbucklers with their personal space-yacht to trade from planet to planet, and still make a living.
Are there ways around fuel and time costs that you can imagine, like faster-than-light travel, or suspended animation?
2) What things could these space merchants sell?
Obviously exotic materials, or nuclear/mineral rich ores, but what about biological specimens? Alien life forms, bacterium, or DNA might hold valuable biochemical properties for industries, and scientific research. What about physical artifacts, or advanced technologies?
Could they sell tickets aboard their craft? Could the people who buy the tickets get a discount if they stay in suspended animation?
>>9061936
>1) Would interplanetary trade ever be profitable?
Within the solar system? Probably, give three or more inhabited places so you can set up a triangle trade.
>At least enough for some futuristic swashbucklers with their personal space-yacht to trade from planet to planet, and still make a living.
I like Heinlein, too.
>Are there ways around fuel and time costs that you can imagine, like faster-than-light travel, or suspended animation?
Now you're outside the solar system. Gets trickier there, without Muh FTL Drive. Many such have been imagined. or sheer weirdness, my favorite was Niven's "End Teleport Drive." Given really cheap short range teleportation, of the sort that requires a "transmitter" AND a "receiver. Build the transmitter into the base of your ship, attach the receiver on the nose. Press button. Hilarity ensues. He wrote an essay on teleportation that included musings on the ETD, but never used it in a story because it is too insane.
2) What things could these space merchants sell?
Everybody always tries to answer this in terms of wild exotic wares -- but at it's really the same as trade on Earth: move something from where it is cheap to where it is expensive. Say axes are cheap on planet Amazon, but are expensive on Burgerplanet. On Burgerplanet, baking soda is plentiful but it is expensive on Caledonia. Caledonians desperately need baking soda, but they make a fine array of croissants, which nobody on Amazon knows how to make. Assuming the value differential is high enough, you work that triangle the right way around, you get rich. Go backwards, of course, and you go broke. Note that in the example above, you need the baking soda to make the croissants, but the axes and baking soda are not really related. Whether something is a raw material or not is not as important as a high price differential between locations (and mass, since your drive probably costs more the more mass you move.)
>>9061936
There have been a lot of white papers on this subject.
The prevailing view is that the knowledge gaps between civilizations would tend to be so large, the less advanced civilization would be sort of like forager societies in our world today: capable of exchanging context-specific information (such as info about fashions) but little else.
>the axes and baking soda are not really related
Unless the baking soda is extracted from the wood of baking soda trees. Maybe the axes themselves are grown with a metal binding farming technique on planet Amazon and the croissants are processed from croissant ore found only on Caledonia that needs large amounts of baking soda to purify.
Because scifi.

economists do know what they're talking about. the problem is that economics politicized and since half the country disagrees with the other half, the thing 95% of economists agree on, 50% of the population doesn't agree on

Is it wrong to assosciate relative frames of reference with Einstein? If Galileo invented the concept, why is he almost never talked about?

if portals are treated as perspectives (windows), A
if portals teleport with some kind of mechanism (energy), B
>>9055250
What differentiates windows from portals is that each portal can move independently.
As long as portals do not move relative to one another, which is not the case here, they can be treated as windows
>>9055250
it you assume portals work like in the game it can't be A (momentum is conserved through the portals)
does the battery lose charge overtime?
All batteries lose charge over time.
All batteries do.
I would be speculating if I said anything pertaining to you grounding a battery causes it to drain faster
>>9068591
but there is a charge imbalance between the ground and the battery so why wouldnt it work?
Why are people always psyopsing each other in undergrad about how hard they had to work at something or how little they understand some material? Are they so desperate for good grades that they have to resort to petty psychological tricks and demoralizing of their fellow students? It's pathetic.

Bitch, you ain't seen nothing yet. Before I noped the fuck out of pic related, people were actively sabotaging each other in their classes in order to get precious spots within their major. It was a known problem where if you asked for advice or help from someone, they would purposefully supply you with incorrect information so that they could be ahead of you on the curve.

Chimps can count. That's a type of mathematics.

Chimps can do basic math.
You're both retards.

Be your own boss. Become skillful and talented in your field then find something you can do and are good at that other people want. Find a nitch, something that isn't too specific but enough to call yourself a specialist at it. People will be more likely to buy your product/service that way. Profit off of these methods.

pedophillia is a natural sexual orientation just like homo or heterosexuality. science proved it years ago
Hey /sci/ so I was thinking, I'm a burger high school drop out but hear me out, can a finite space be infinite? I was drinking Dr Pepper and looking at the can I thought if you look at the can's shape it's really just a two dimensional form shaped in a three dimensional way (a square folded in a circle, forming the surface of a cylinder that is the can). If an ant walks on that can horizontally it is effectively infinite. Could the same be said of other things? Maybe our Universe is four dimensional (3D space and 1D time) but "folded" somehow so it is infinitely finite? Am I to something or just tripping on Dr Pepper?
An ant walking on a cylinder doesn't have infinite can to walk on, it will just repeatedly walk on the same small section of can over and over again.

Yeah spacetime actually does have a curvature. You should watch flatland, they do a good job explaining the proper perspective to have on higher dimensions

i have an ingestion test for a nut allergy coming up that i have to pass. i will be monitored for 30 min to see if i have a reaction to said nut. is there anyway i could line my stomach or do something to repress any symptoms?
>>9067785
idk which thread to go to desu
>>9067785
why do you need to fake not having a nut allergy, op?
You would need something that lines your entire gastrointestinal tract. I don't think that's possible.
Also, why don't they just perform a skin prick test?
