To be, is to be perceived

What did George Berkeley mean by this?

Is science now finally catching up to philosophy?

Philosophy is just Physics for people who are bad at math.
>>
measurement != perception
>>
>>9014279
Berkeley means that that is the only meaning of the word exist that can have discernible meaning. The idea of something mind-independent (no perceived by a mind) is incoherent and inconceivable.

Probably has little to nothing to do with physics, though.

That's why I, personally, believe we shouldn't be replacing fossil fueled energy until we can improve electrical energy storage en masse.

My friends were discussing consciousness and what makes a person "them", primarily talking about reincarnation.

Why is an atomically identical duplicate of myself not a shared conscious? I guess a better question is; do we know why/what makes us conscious or where it comes from? We know going to sleep or dying dispels our consciousness but where does it come from physically or is it something else?

If I drop 3 hits of acid and after 2+ hours drop 150 mg MDMA, will that be more intense than doing 5 hits of acid alone?

Most I've done is 500ug of acid and wasn't a big problem for me

Will it be intense as balls?

This isn't exactly science. How is "intense" actually measured? Who the fuck knows, who the fuck cares. Just try it and see.

I like psychology. Not only because of being an engineer it is great to see how the body as a machine works very precies and advanced, yet simplistic. But also because you learn how society is a machine that needs constant maintenance. But in the end you learn You, a human in a big machine called humanity which is part of Earth, the living planet

don't do psychology
its stupid
what have psychologists done to advance civilization nothing, exactly
if you are interested in the mind do neuroscience at least you will be learn something objective and not bullshit

Last I've heard they can't pay western academics enough to stay. What's the point of pouring billions into a university when 90% of your K-12 education consists of memorizing the Koran?

Considering it may be possible that permanent and prominent female breasts in humans may have in fact arose for sexual reason( identify women or act as a frontal counterpart to ass) is it also possible that women's breasts and nipples are also more sensitive to touch so that it another example of their sexual purpose?

>purpose of breasts

The same purpose of Cow's udders which is to feed babies milk. It's also only sexual to you because of Victorian-aged taboos where in the 3rd world women walk around with dem titties out all day long flappin in the wind and they aren't considered sexual.

What say you to the pleasure of nipple stimulation?
>>
>>9011340
I used to think that but if you think about it, you don't know if those tribes find boobs attractive or not. They still may, just they don't mind if women walk around. It also makes sense because I heard often in such cultures fucking in public isn't seen as too taboo either.

For one thing it tells pubescent females apart from non pubescent females and females from men in general. And you missed the part where human females are the only ones with PERMANENT breats even when not lactating. Obviously size isn't the limiting factor but compared to other mamamals human females are the only ones who have constant prominent breats some evolutionarily psycologists are thinking it maybe due to the emergence of all humans also fucking faces to face. Hence boobs are alternative ass? They are both round and symmetric in the same way .It would even make more sense if female nipples are more sensitive then males.

Were the Egyptians black? They're genotype says they were white but some mummies look very much of the negroid latter
94 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
Some were, the phenotype expression depended mostly by the different regions in Egypt. Keep in mind the current political boundaries that makeup Modern Egypt were not the same as Ancient Egypt. So Ancient Egypt included part of Sudan due to the Nile river.

Based on research I've read the bulk of the genetic make-up (like around 60%) seem to be more Mediterranean or Arabic. But this research was also based on moderately small samples from only a couple of sites located around Lower Egypt (more North of Africa) where they were preserved the best.

It's very possible due to historical findings on Nubian populations that Upper Egypt (more Eastern Africa)know would reveal a higher genetic make-up of black/ Sub-saharan admixture.

It stands to reason Ancient Egypt may have very well been similar to U.S. in geographically dispersed demographic concentrations and similar to Brazil in varied genetic admixture.

The ruling egyptians(higher iq class) were white, while the slave class(the one towing rocks to build pyramides) were african.

The inferior african race is easily controlled and subservient much like a sheep dog
>>
>>9010262
We see this same pattern of whites ruling over blacks in Brazil and South Africa. I'm not sure why Africans are so much more subservient than Arabs, for example, who aren't exactly geniuses themselves.

that delicious little shit, apart from being highly corrosive, if it enters the human body (and it can pass through the skin due to its small size) it complexes with the Ca++ and Mg++ ions (which are litterally everywhere), which can cause, amongst others total destruciton of the affected nervous system, and a high risk of cardiac arrest.
And for the fun finale, you cant use glass glassware, it can filter through it by capillary action. So you have to get quartz glassware

The best part is that exposure takes around 4 hours to show any symptoms, and starts with intense pain.
