Hiroshima said every board was allowed one meta thread.

Let's discuss ways to improve the board.

I would like to propose that:
>Infographics without source and
>References to articles behind paywalls
should be banable offenses.

what's wrong with paywalls when you have sci-hub?
>>
>>8860434
It's not always accessible. And adds to the bump limit.

It's an way discourage discussion or encourage a poor discussion based only on the abstracts.


We have hundreds of retards that throw said references at threads they don't sympathize with like crazy as a way of raiding it.

When someone questions it they usually go ape shit and take the thread downhill.

Or even worse, retards of antagonistic opinions fall for the bait and start throwing even more paywalls at the thread.

If one wants to reach his brain potential(I know how cliche it sounds) is studying only math and philosophy the best thing to do? And I'm not saying that you should forget about stuff like Arts, I think they are important too(especially music and literature) but your main focus should be on Philosophy and Math

Give up most of your limited time for pussy and for a boring ass conversation partner

explore mathematics / science.

Make you're choice and take into account the fact that time is the most precious resource a human can have and that every other resource (happiness, money, whatever) is generated by converting it to them through effort.

Why is she so mathematically perfect anatomically speaking? How did millions of years of evolution trigger a response in my brain to deduce that this is what perfection looks like?

Evolution is a process the leads to perfection. She was lucky enough to get there sooner than others. Given enough time, everyone on the planet will be perfect.

She seems ugly to me because I know she is mentally retarded and that in the impossible event that I'd manage to fuck her I'd have to pay her a lot and no pussy is worth alimony / half of my wealth / millions of dollars.

How good can a used-up wet tube of meat be? is it really worth millions or billions? She's not a virgin, she's a used up whore who probably fucked at least a thousand different people until this day.

Why is it that drugs that decrease anxiety (morphine) are said to worsen anxiety disorders in the longterm,

while drugs that increase anxiety (weed) also worsen anxiety disorders in the longterm?

Why don't they have opposite effects?
27 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
This is my opinion
>opinion
Coping with anxiety by a drug instead of learning to deal with it yourself will of course just make it worse in the future

Also those two examples are strange
Is this a bait thread?
What have a done?
>>
>>8857651
because all drugs are foreign materials that mess with the feedback loop for the secretion of naturally produced chemicals that are supposed to decrease anxiety. The brain becomes lazy and doesn't do it anymore because you're supplying the chemicals.
It's just efficiency.
I'm glad drugs are so bad in the longterm. I just wish humans had really long lives so I could see people get a taste of their own medicine when they get hit with the consequences of doing DUDE WEED LMAO

Take an IQ test.

If you're under 120/125 and your in a STEM course then drop out.

Less debt, less stress, less frustration.

Just get a qualification or certificate, you might be able to transfer credits

>mfw I'm in the second group
it's because you lack imagination or memory

if you can't or don't take advantage of both or either you're forced to memorize the course material sequentially

when you have good memory and imagination you're basically reducing the quantity of information required to study by using your imagination and by creating mental links between new information and previous information and good memory helps cement that new shit really well

it's about data compression, kolmogorov complexity, the kolmogorov complexity of an information contained in an object is (roughly) the length of the shortest algorithm that can fully describe the information in that object

let's say I give you a book that is 1000 pages long and only contains the letter "A" repeated millions of times. Obviously, that book does not contain too much information. It's basically "Repeat A millions of times", that's an algorithm that describes it.

When you have good imagination you don't study a new string of information as it is, I mean, you do not memorize it word-for-word. You go like "wait, this is very similar to X that I already known but it's only 1% different, it means I already know this!" and you greatly reduce the amount you need to know.

Some people with good imagination I'm sure don't even have good memory. I have pretty shit memory, actually. But if I recognize a pattern in a new piece of information I already know it perfectly.

Patterns / algorithms are NEVER longer than the information they describe. That's a mathematical fact.

Let's decide once and for all. What is the future?
Nuclear of renewable?
97 posts and 22 images submitted.
>>
>>8853654
We should save nuclear for all other energy requirements, like space exploration. It's a waste if we use nuclear on earth, when the sun generates energy anyway.
>>
>>8853654
decentralised renewable, mostly like solar panels everywhere, on just about every surface you can imagine and likely more than that.

It'll be like the computer revolution, some big ones here and there but the core of the revolution is that everybody is up to their knees with CPUs.
