The autistic brain is slightly bigger because it didn't trim useless neurons when growing up. Those extra neurons are responsible for the ultra sensibility that autists are known for.

I'm diagnosed as autistic and, given my general social behavior, it's clearly deserved. But I don't get these threads. Do you really think your mind operates so differently from a neurotypical's that it deserves analysis? The only thing I find that's really different between myself and non-autists is that I'm blessed with retard-level social skills.

They don't know, which is why it's based on a spectrum, rather than having separate but similar diagnoses for various physical abnormalities in the brain.

I doubt most meth cooks have actually studied chemistry lol

At least 10 years. Krokodil cooks in Siberia were all professionals in their field for at least 5 years and had doctorate degrees.

Some people would say the time it takes to learn sophomore-year organic chemistry, but imo the answer is zero.

If you really care about the mechanism by which you're adding a methyl group, as well as the chemical information by which the mechanism is determined, go ahead and read an O-Chem textbook. I think you'll find the knowledge you've gained will not help at all, and maybe those dealers were onto something when they decided to make meth in a garage instead of a real lab.

There are guides online. Go to Erowid. It's not illegal to memorize the steps. I even printed some out just to look at them. Neat stuff.

ahhhgh some of my post is awkwardly written

I guess I shouldn't stay up so late when writing shit like this

1s before death = -1

Death = 0 (1) because information cannot be destroyed

1s A.D. (after death) = +1 second later in another universe where you did not die.

at the point where blood stops moving, oxygen starvation of brain cells, cascade failure has occurred, electrical activity has ceased.

Just like when before you were born and became a conscious entity, you at this point cease to exist.

Conscious is merely language your physical body learned to awaken. You ARE your physical body.

Mystical concepts such as "god", "soul" are mystical.

Enjoy your life, son. You only get one.

thanks for including Eugene Physics, that's what I came here to post. Really good videos.

I dump my paul robertson folder here as a reward and to bump this thread

No, for several reasons among which is the fact that simulation isn't duplication.

>>9155727
I'll expand on that since nobody is interacting.
The scenario depicts a simulated universe where simulated consciousness exist and is apparently the same as normal consciousness.
That presumes a functionalist view of the brain (or something similar to that in the relevant parts) which states that the mind is just a bunch of processes that happen in the brain and that's it. The same processes could be happening in computers and you'd still have a mind, they say.

The problem with that is this.
Imagine having a liter of water. You can throw it, drink it, you can use it to water your plants and so on. Now imagine having a computer that simulates water down to the tiniest subatomic particle. A perfect simulation, if you will. Can you drink that simulation? Can you use it to water your plants? Of course not, because by simulating a liter of water you haven't actually created another one.
And this is the same for every single thing you can think about that we don't know already to be software. In fact, it's the same for perfectly simulated organs: a simulated heart or pancreas can't save someone who doesn't have a real one. But apparently a simulated brain is just the same as a real one when it comes to what it does.

>>9155747
Could a simulated organism not drink a simulated glass of water?

This is a load of crap. Your face changes throughout your life, but your soul does not.

Physiognomy is real.

Are you really going to make pretend there isn't a "gay look"?

That's a very nice cloud

Weather balloon, obviously

>>9155456
That's two clouds.
The front is a low altitude, dense, cloud. I dunno the names of them but it is one that is blocking a lot more light than the second cloud that is a high altitude cloud that is in front of the sun.

Basically they're just clouds.

There isn't overpopulation, and there never will be. This is misinformation. The rate at which the population is increasing is slowing. Not to mention, one of the things that signifies how advanced a country is happens to be the birthrate because more advanced countries always, without fail, have lower birthrates.

Many European countries have populations dying faster than new people are being born. There is no overpopulation.

It is slowing global pop will top at 10 billion at most

None, you can't really escape famine in modern life bulit around farming infrastructure and mass distribution rather than localized growing. But mini soda and montana would problably be pretty rad. I myself plan on going to northern maine, but thats just because its close by

Places that are fairly mountainous will change the least. Places that are currently desert will benefit from climate change, provided they're no too low-lying that they end up underwater.

>>9155328
>Places that are currently desert will benefit from climate change,
What makes you say that? Most predictions I've seen are for desert climates to become even more severe.

The penis is aesthic and arousing even to men, and some traps are very feminine but have that exotic feeling to them too.

Xenoestrogens in our food, water, and plastics slowly leading you down queer street.

Because you are a homosexual.

Yes, great thinking, you could make a profit out of that idea...... if it was the 80s.

They have already been doing that for decades already.

Yes until the market crashes and the ai didn't account for that
