It's not a matter of how fucked we are, it's a matter of how much it's going to cost us in order to relatively un-fuck ourselves. We will need to build the necessary infrastructure to accommodate rising water levels and protect residential areas from increasingly frequent and more violent weather events. The more we let things get out of hand, the more expensive that is going to be.

>a few million 3rd world people die
People are already dying, as people do, but the larger consequence (for the west) is the fact that people from 3rd world countries are going to need to relocate. Climate is already the biggest determinant of (economic) migration. Europe especially already dealing with the fallout. The ironic part here is that those who tend to be anti migration also tend to be against combating climate change.

>Billions of dead
The people who will die are the ones who cannot afford to deal with the above mentioned consequences. Quite tragically, those tend to be the people in 3rd world countries, which have contributed relatively little to the initial problem.

>collapse of global community
The economic consequences of global cataclysmic events, even if they are gradual, is the flow of capital to richer economies (because it reduces risk). Again, 3rd world and developing economies will suffer from this. But in the long term, I think the west will be judged by how it accommodates those who are less fortunate in the present.

You're trying too hard to bait.

Seems like a pretty straightforward case of an autosomal recessive trait. Parents 1 & 2 were Xx carriers, Children 2 & 5 were xx by bad luck, and they mated with Xx carriers, giving their children a 50% chance of inheriting a disorder but a 100% to be either a carrier or affected.

>>9011291
thanks for the reply, but how can you have an unaffected female (4) and an affected female (5) if the parents are both just carriers?

>>9011294
Yy x Yy can produce yy (1/4 affected)
Yy x Yy can also produce YY or Yy (1/4 unaffected, 1/2 carrier)

One doesn't go without other, only in some marginalized cases.

Jews? Also proof of your statement.

So I scored 132 on iqtest.dk and scored max on mensa frt (135+) and Im all about logic. At the same time my gf scored 130 on iqtest.dk and also scored 135+ on mensa test while she is most illogical person I know. Also there is iqnavi site with all types of tests and I asked 5-6 people to take both spatial and logic test seperately and biggest diff was 5 points. It is small sample but I have yet to observe that the connection isnt valid.

The decline after peak is very slow, your peak IQ probably wasn't a lot different from your current.

>>9010752
what you should actually do is find out how many intelligence points you have as IQ is a worthless measure because it relies on empirical evidence

>proxy
suppose your internet connection is you sending letters through a mailbox to someone
even if your letters are encrypted, everyone knows you are the one sending the letters and metadata is still visible (address etc is on the envelope).

a proxy: you ask a kid to push the letters in the mailbox for you, such that people will think that kid is the one sending the mail while in reality you are.

creepy organisations that spy on you, such as the NSA and your ISP still know you are handing the kid your mail so a proxy won't help against that.

>>9009806
Thanks anon

>>9009806
But a Vpn (with multiple kids) would be useful, if not unspyable.

>>9009490
Meh, don't care.

>>9009516

but of course you don't... you're not even real

You seem to talk of consciousness as free will.

We are consciousness but our decisions are mostly perhaps all made unconsciousness.

I've read plenty of cognitive science with some biological and genetic elements and came to the conclusion that if free will does exist it must be extremely limited

Then I read a neuroscience book and it seems more logical to hold the view that free will does not exist until proven than the other way around

Believing we make our decisions consciously is perhaps beter for your mental health, though I would say that in some ways it is more humane to think of decisions as constrainted and automatic

Python is a shit language and I'm not surprised you don't understand it. OOP was manhandled into the language and it makes no sense

Learn a REAL OOP language like C++

False. There are no such things as atoms, if by atoms you mean a form of mind-independent matter.

deep sea
at least in the deep sea if things go tits up you have somewhere nearby to bug out
it's also far less expensive to get resources

>>9008179
you're clueless, deep sea is terribly scary much more so than the moon
read into deep sea accidents

>>9008197
you only think the deep sea is scarier than the moon because nobody's ever tried to live on the moon

NASA should pull the Asteroid to collide with Earth.

It would reduce the population, killing people, solving the overpopulation Crysis on Earth.
Just drop it in some shit hole.

It would also solve the Global Warming. Bringing an Ice Age.

A refrigerator-sized projectile is capable of altering the trajectory of an asteroid? How large is the asteroid? Does the projectile have explosives?

>>9008243
>not understanding physics
the faster something is going, the more force it has
you don't need to have a big projectile if it is a very, very fast projectile

They are enthralled in the appeal to nature fallancy and get their jimmies rustled when work perceived easier provides more dosh

Its envy

The math is not the same. Math needed for physics is much more difficult.
But i dont get the envy to

>>9007538
>Math needed for physics is much more difficult.
Examples?

It has disproved realism and at the very least undermined materialism.

If von-Neumann's 'consciousness causes collapse' hypothesis is correct then yes, QM does disprove materialism.
