The identity function

Constant functions cuz the don't give a fuck what you plug in

>>8943795
how is it constructed my nigga?

>>8943795
Isn't that impossible? I remember that if a function's derivative is 0 for every x in R and is continuous than the function is constant.

>>8943718
this looks like an image from that meme, and therefore, i deem this entire topic a meme.

1) misqoting people
2) they don't know how a fourier transform works
3) the charts imply that "non meditators" have the opposite effect with almost the same confidence.

Yes consciousness affects matter, it's called EEG, or fMRI, or moving your hand.

this is bullshit.

Please reply only after you have actually watched the video

It's basically: no excess sugar because
>Le bad

But actually most of our achievements as the dominant species lies in a fuck ton of sugar and in recent years of history caffeine

Because it's a healthy diet that is easy to maintain. With minimum carbs blood sugar/insulin levels don't wiggle that much, so there are no cravings.

I would usually expect excessive amount of fat would clog the shit out of your arteries.
Can someone reply is it pseudoscience or not?
They have a subreddit called ketoscience but it lacks actual sources badly.

That depends from the resolution of the simulation brainlet. I just simulated the whole universe with my android phone, in wich each galaxy was a bit.

Basically, you can't simulate a clone of a universe inside itself unless you zip away parts of it.

You wake up and it turns out you're living in a dyson sphere orbiting a black hole. You're entire life was nothing more than an hour of play.

>>8941721
The skeptical part of my brain says what you said but the part that likes consciousness says there's something more to it. But then where does everybody else's conscious go and if we lack the physical means to communicate (mouth eyes etc) then would we just exist forever alone? That sounds terrifying. But the conscious mind cannot experience nonexistence; that's a fallacy. Maybe your conscious just loops itself forever or something. The patrician answer is to wake up frozen people and interview them, as only they would have been physically dead long enough to settle that question once and for all (at least until people in Christianity argue that they were revived before the end times and thus would not have experienced the resurrection yet.)

Which is why cryonics and life extension are good memes. We get an answer and a (slight) workaround if the results are unfavorable.

>>8941773
I don't believe logical fallacies can be put on death.

The conscious mind stops being conscious. It stops being a mind entirely.

I don't know why people over-complicate it.

We're not different from trees or rocks, etc.

I've been trying to base my life and (lack of) faith in life being purposeful on his quotes; should I not or are you just being /pol/?

Time is a concept, not a real thing.

Planning on picking it up after my exams are finished. The podcast really opened my eyes, the only thing I had been told about IQ before hand was the 'not a good measure of intelligence' meme

Also they do dance around the non-whites/Asians having lower IQ, talking on variance etc., but it really feels like a potentially strong argument for supremacy.

>>8939664
Yes, and Sam does push back a little on that, asking what would be the point of proving such a variance in average IQ between groups, other than to provide support (unintentionally or not) to racist causes. Murray's central argument is that any such variance is largely irrelevant in the face of individual capability.

was thinking why is the bond strength between H2 higher than that between F2?

How long would it take to complete the following:

Algebra and Trigonometry - Judith Beecher

Elementary Calculus - Keisler

Matrices and Linear Algebra" by Schneider and Barker

This group is spreading false information regarding cancer causing people to refuse proven tx in lieu of buying into their narrative. Please help expose them. Idk how to do this but I have read enough about 4chan to know there are intelligent people here who can make a difference.

Electric is a meme the energy density will never beat fuel, the only use for electric is virtue signaling for rich people.

>>8935008
>*Current energy density
ftfy. Also electric engines are much more efficient.

>>8934984
What do you think car companys are doing right this second? Sitting with their fingers up their bungholes? Of course improving battery technology is their top priority on the tech research side.

Sometimes, yea. There is things that directly affect science such as budgets, permits for proyects and research and public education. Shoehorning your political beliefs to students is just annoying though, but professors can't see where their egos end.

No one should really care about Bill Nye.

I'm a prof and I think others feel like it's not "political" per se because Trump wants to cut their funding. I disagree but I think that's how they feel. Most of them hate Trump for way more reasons than the funding. They just use the funding issue to claim that Trump attacked them.

At the end of the day they're just another group of people whining about how they want money. I want money too but I won't stoop to that

>>8933827
Well politic and science can actually be quite intricated.
Science sometimes need money, large scale and risky project, whi can be granted by politics. It can impact society on such point it become a political problem. Sometime, politics use science to justify a given policy.
In short, there's no hard boundary between those two. Just like with anything and politic, tbqh.

My political compass points to whoever is the most apt to respond to the ecological problems we created.

As i said, it's illusional to think science is hermetics to politics. And yeah, sometimes it's the right thing to do ti bring politics in it. Do you really want to test that new-gen reactor who would wipe th entire country if it fails ? Maybe non-scientist, whose live may be at stakes, have a word in it ?

This topic is relevant, yeah. Bill Nye is not.

Also, regarding your first question ; as a teacher i ALWAYS warn my student about the diverse political ramification of every subject. They're future engineer, they must know that and be able to think critically about what they do. I always make sure to represent all sides of the argument and not dictate thel what to think, but more "how" to think.
That's what i feel every prof should do. Some colleagues hates me for not pushing their agenda tho (on both sides of the political spectrum tho)

In Mars you could rape that hot Japanese astronaut in the pic and nobody on Earth would know it until the radio message asking for help gets to Earth, which would take weeks, months even if you do it in the right moment. It would take another few years until Earth sends a rescue mission to Mars. By then she'd have already accepted her faith as concubine and you two would have given birth to the first Martians.

>>8932548
Signing for trials now.

No. If it's for economic gain we'll eventually run out of resources and opportunities there as well. If it's to ensure the survival of human species, Mars is not only more hostile to life but it's also inevitable that humans there destroy themselves much like those on Earth would.

>>8946249
btw, I posted this in /x/ earlier, but didn't get many responses. I want to see if sci has a possible explanation.

Probably leaning on something or whatever caused those to form was contact with an artificial structure, like a computer chair or such.

>>8946357
No. I don't think that's the case. If you look it up, a lot of people have had this condition, and all(as far as I've seen) have said that they hadn't came into contact with any object that could have caused it. I'm pretty sure you would know if you had, considering it is a unique pattern.

>without genetic engineering we'd have much less food and ultimately starve

You mean that 3rd worlders will die? How is this a bad thing? Less indians and africans and earth is a better place.

There was no evidence of tobacco use being harmful for nearly 300 years.

Yea gluten intolerance is bullshit but celiac disease is not

I didn't shoot up all their dumbfuck young while tutoring Analysis for Physicists.

>muh textbook collecting
is this the best you can do? lmao

can I find a batch of physics, math, programming and engineering books from libgen somewhere to download in case it inevitably shuts down?
