>Do you think that people are born with the innate capacity for language?


It's really hard to argue against it in view of certain evidence

http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v6/n7/full/nn1077.html


To the great majority of theoretical linguists, this debate is still a few years away in terms of relevance. The truth is we don't really understand the relationship between language and the brain well enough.

do philosophers have anything to show for besides black and white pictures of them looking pensive? i don't think their work age very well given that philosophers live long enough to see their work become irrelevant.

This diagram is stupidly broad.

>11.4 million STEM degree holders who work

ok wheres the meme

>>8936415
The meme is that as they are working at a job that has nothing to do with their degree they should have just been able to get that job out of highschool.

They cant though because the military-industrial-academia complex is trying to scam everyone out of their money.

I told you guys

Basic Economics is a requirement for engineers.
Intermediate Economics and Econometrics is needed for actuaries.
Game Theory and Mathematical Finance is math.

Flat earth science.

I don't like nursing students because they're cliquey, predominantly female, and bitch about how hard their major is on social media. They're like computer science majors, but they aren't even aware their major is a meme.

Is she an archaeologist? Because I got a large bone for her to examine.

No, but it's never going to be a grid level solution. I think it's reasonable to have them for personal use, but that's only because you should have some actual infrastructure as a fall back on.

the really good panels are being cockblocked by environmentalists because they contain small amounts of lead (about as much as you have in your car).

>>8928426
What makes them "really good"? Their efficiency or lifetime?

Your gametes themselves will never seed life. They exist only to join with the female gametes, the ovum.

I think in order to make this work, you will have to let the semen go a bit fetid, to ensure that bacteria is mixed through the sperm cells. These bacteria then may go on the seed life, with your semen as food.

This however, will still fail, as all life must be seeded from phytobacteria which gains energy from the sun. The bacteria in your semen will not be of this kind, and will quickly die once the semen nourishing them runs out.

In short, no, this plan is not feasible.

eating pinaple makes your sperm taste like pineaple so if you were to eat pinaple leaves could your sperm photosynthesize then>

spin gravity would give them the gravity they need

You'd be better off just having the whole station have spin gravity though

>>8943990
But zero gravity is fun for people
I vote for dangerous spinning fishtanks

>>8943964
Even if it works, congratulations you've made something useless some NASA cronies probably thought up years ago but didn't do because it's dumb

Just check out Khan academy and you'll be fine.

>If the universe is deterministic
Well, is it?

>>8943426
I don't know. I can't find any statement that it completely is. When I look it up I just find that it's either debated or might be once we learn more, but might not be as well.

Or something like it is macroscopically which means it must be on a quantum scale too?

>>8943390
To predict the events of the universe with 100% certainty, you'd need to simulate a universe. The smallest possible simulation of a given object is that object (simulating a quark in reality uses more that a single molecule, but let's give benefit of the doubt and say you can break physics).

No, but they are built on heavy parallelism, aka neural networks.
At higher level thoughts appear mostly sequential, but parallelism is what the brain is really made of.

fuck off.
