Does this image of a monkey actually exist, or is it just an array of different coloured pixels?
>>9020470
Both.
It exists as a collection of pixels.

Before you label me as /pol/ hear me out, I am actually just an anon interested in genetics (it's my major) and I am actually half black. While there haven't been enough scientific studies to say for certain that the difference between racial average intelligence is caused majorly by racial genetic differences it's pretty well known that intelligence is based largely in part by genetics. With this in mind I think it is pretty safe to say that certain races have the genes that code for higher intelligence more often than other races.
What I don't understand is the taboo over discussing this? /pol/ and most skinheads don't actually understand basic genetics and just assume that are just genetically "better" and that is what a lot of liberal societies are scared of. But it doesn't actually work like that, if you gave the "intelligence" gene (Well there are many genes that code for this sort of thing) to a black embryo it would be just as intelligent as if you gave those genes to a white embryo, it just so happens that whites have those genes more often.
Why don't people accept and try to promote intelligence in all races so that way every race can be on a equal playing field genetically?
TLDR: Why don't we accept that different races have different average intelligences and try to fix that rather than pretend it doesn't exist?
>>9018625
It's pretty obvious that race and IQ has at least something to do with genetics but we can't admit it because that would be literally Hitler.
http://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2017/01/07/race-and-iq-the-case-for-genes/
Also, how would you promote intelligence in other races? Eugenics? Because genetic engineering is not a thing yet
Because admitting that one race is, on average, more intelligent than others would hurt people's feelings. Apparently nowadays science cares more about feelings than fact. We need a good plague that targets morons. 99% of the stupidest people on this planet could die tomorrow, and it would be the best thing that ever happened to the human race.
because the paradigm shift will dismantle entire industries built of nurture-ism. If intelligence was as hereditary as athleticism, are daycares, enrichment centers and academics all going to start stripping?

Let´s pretend for one moment that the theory of multiverse is true.
There is a universe where Freddie Mercury is still alive and singing.
If for some reason somebody figures out how to travel between universes, nobody would travel to a universes where Freddie is dead.
>>9011581
Feddie Mercury only ever existed in this universe. Somewhere else, Schmeddie Mercury never stopped singing.

how long do you think a human brain could survive if it was removed from the body and connected to machines that oxygenated and fed it?
>>9021789
at that point it's really just tissue culture. Id imagine a normal lifespan, not sure if normal neurological degradation would occur. The real question is, what do you mean by "survive"? Retain self-awareness, consciousness, or just the cells are alive?
What would it be like to be that brain?
You would finally be able to just think without any possible distractions

Maybe this is meant to be more of a philosophy question but doesn't chaos theory prove that life/our existence is deterministic?
>>9021280
>doesn't chaos theory prove that life/our existence is deterministic?
What's the proof?
Yes. But only on large scales. Because on the smallest scale things are random. There's no way to determine anything. It becomes predictable on higher scales because it's like throwing six million dice. If you throw 3 dice you don't know what the result will be but with six million it's easy to see there will be about one million for each side. Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise

First you need to be born with hereditary Asperger's or high-functioning autism.
Do you have either?

Let's start with....
what do you think?
And are you paid to make this same thread over and over?
Is 0 a natural number?
Should you define it to be
no, if it was natural it wouldn't have taken hundreds of years longer to come into use after the other naturals
yeah why not
Going to climb up Mount Etna next week, what's the chance this fucker erupts while I'm up there? It also killed a bbc team earlier this year, I never went up a volcano before.
>>9020582
*almost killed
>>9020582
>what's the chance this fucker erupts while I'm up there?
50/50, either it erupts or it doesn't
>>9020582
Think about it this way, that BBC now has a helluva story to tell after being almost killed by a volcano. The risk is worth it.
Climate change hockey stick data producer is being found in contempt of court and about to lose the legal battle proving his climate change data was fraudulent.

If you start at 1 start counting, you will say a natural number more often than you will say a square
But how can there be more squares than natural numbers if for every natural number there exists one square?
>>9019375
>But how can there be more squares than natural numbers if for every natural number there exists one square?
there aren't more squares, for the reason you just said
n <-> n^2 is a bijection so they have the same cardinality
>>9019375
That capsule also ripped off a dudes legs
>>9019378
What if you started counting and then kept track of how many squares and non-squares you found
Could not it be proven that after a certain point the amount of non-squares will always exceed the amount of squares?
Hey, what are you guys thoughts on free energy machines, also free energy general.
>>9018961
You're retarded for even asking.
sage
>>9018965
why tho
>>9018967
>why tho
You know damn well "free energy" belongs on /x/, just like ghosts and bigfoot, but even more so.
Think about it. In the VERY unlikely event bigfoot and ghosts exist, they must be purposefully hiding somewhere.
You can't build a Sasquatch in your garage.
If free energy devices weren't complete bullshit, somebody would have built one, patented it, and retired to a palace on a private tropical island.

Why would have to brush my teeth nonetheless 2x on a day if i eat Nothing and only drink water?
Because there is stuff in your saliva that sticks to your teeth and needs to be brushed off.
