Sociology is literally applied psychology. You don't turn some random wannabe mentalist bullcrap into science by adding statistics to it.

>>8956450
Sociology is anti-science.

They start from a conclusion and try to warp data to fit it.

>>8956460
But unlike psychology it is only about behavior, and as such, it can be both observed and verified. With psychology it's "what sort of personality type are you :DD"

What the fuck is your problem, people?
Why is this ancient bullshit still so goddamn popular?
Are you also proponents of bloodletting and lobotomy?

Just listen to this faggot

this should mean 6/2(1+2)=1

(a)*(b) and a*b is only equivalent when a,b are both fully reduced expressions

a(b) is equivalent to a*b IFF b is a fully reduced expression

>>8955804
no, it means your mother drank when she was pregnant

>>8955808
i kno they are equivalent im asking if you treat them the same way. a*b are two values being multiplied together where a(b) gets treated as a single value.
this really only matters because of retarted equajuns

>>8955405
It already is.

You'd have to be the goodest of goys to believe the jewish copenhagen interpretation.

>>8955405
Seems unlikely. It would help if there was a known relativistic version.

>>8955429
>a known relativistic version
there already is one, its just extremely shit.

if anything, you're the brainlet

My dad once asked me if I knew anything about magrav technology, because he was excited about how the Russians were using it to scare the Americans. The whole thing was total nonsense, but he believed it since it was from some Russian-looking source.

It seems he will believe anything that comes from a Russian state media outlet, is a Russian think tank, or has a name ending in .ru. We are American, btw, he just hates America and thinks it is an evil imperialist country and that Russia is the unfairly persecuted good guy in world affairs.

>>8955377
My dad is obsessed with numbers and the lotto as well

After working shitty blue collar jobs his whole life, I think he sees it as his only chance at some semblance of a retirement. Makes me sad to think about

>>8955266
yeah

You'll lose fat if you expend more energy than you consume. Thermodynamics innit.
Without proper resistance training and protein consumption you'll also lose a good bit of muscle though.

everything happens in relativity. we never needed secretaries to begin with but its nice having a pretty woman around the office.
our old archaic notions will prevent this

You're missing Kolmogorov.

>>8952746
>You're missing Kolmogorov.
Selected works of A.N. Kolmogorov?

>>8953603
Pretty much everything he wrote is god-tier.
Elements of theory of functions and functional analysis
Mathematics: Its content, methods and meanings
Probability theory and mathematical statistics

He ingrains intuition, not just mindless use of methods.

>>8951179
real smart

I already know everything there is to know

Did dinosaurs exist?

>>8949249
Dinosaurs weren't 100+ meters tall and bipedal.

>>8949299
Plenty of them were bipedal you pleb

>Know Cal III by junior year
Who cares? Once you get to college you can control how much math you take per semester, if you want take all math classes, you'll quickly surpass all those kids in both knowledge in skills.

I have a relevant anecdote for you OP
>Be a brainlet, taking pre-calc freshman year of college
>Professor was an absolute genius and really cared for his students (gave individual feedback on every problem on homework sets, passed out handwritten notes for every lecture, etc.)
>Joke with my pre-calc professor that I was disappointed I'm struggling with pre-calc at 18 when Newton was discovering law of universal gravitation at roughly the same age
>He was studying at MIT as a physics and math dual major
>Barely keeping up with his real analysis class, the professor wrote the book so he just cruised through material
>Student in front of him kept correcting the professor
>That student was thirteen years old
He looked me in the eye and told me "moral of the story is there's always someone out there better than you, so don't worry about it too much" before assigning me some extra log rule problems
>End up passing with an A
>Sign up to have him for calc next year
>Ends up contracting cancer and dying
I miss him ;_;

>cohomology is genius tier

epic nice get fucked brainlets

I'm alive, therefore is 1

It's no coincidence that the plural of dice is die

>>8956686
1, because "living" is a word

>>8956374
I'm currently trying to make a simple chatterbot comprehend abstract concepts from scratch through language alone.
Wish me luck.

We already have plenty of specialised AI, so are you talking about AGI or ASI?
AGI will certainly happen in the next 200 years and with research in life extension we may be able to live that long. ASI may never happen because it assumes recursive design of AI is exponential, but it could also easily follow a logarithmic curve where each generation of AI while being slightly smarter can only beget a smaller improvement to the next generation due to fundamental constraints on problem solving ability and cognition.
A person with an IQ of 150 and a person with an IQ of 200 can relate to each other much easier than the former can relate to someone with an IQ of 100.

>>8956374
please be more specific.

There is no difference between an "actual" consciousness and a "simulated" one.

>>8955825
Except me as a human can feel being alive.
A group of 10000 humans all doing computations on a piece of paper that over time that can mimic a conscious being probably doesn't actually feel anything.

>>8955828
>Except me as a human can feel being alive.
you might as well be a computer program
