its the same as the so-called climate "scientists"

they get into these research positions and just make shit up as long as they can to keep getting more funding since they can't con their way through the real world

>they can't con their way through the real world
seems legit

everyday you pol crossposters make, at least, 2 or 3 race threads.

arent you concerned about your own mental health?

>We know that Europe was inhabited by other people before the arrival of the Indo-Europeans. Does that mean that it's possible that the Indo-Europeans were Mongoloid rather than Caucasoid?
Its possible. Europeans are a Neanderthal mix.
>People in East Asia have more slanted eyes than people in Southeast Asia. What's the explanation of that?
Mixing Denisovans with Siberian Neanderthals. Perhaps the Siberian subgroup had eyelids more adapted for the cold. That doesn't quite explain Japan where the people are primarily a mix of Koreans and Siberians yet generally have rounder eyes and more traditionally caucasian features.
>If the people that crossed the Bering strait from Asia to America are the ancestors of all Amerindians, why do native Americans speak language families that are so different from each other?
The migrations were in multiple waves

I don't post on /pol/ but I just needed answers and since it's a pretty fast board I also posted the thread there

No one falls for your charade, neckbeard

I think asians are probably all autistic. They're good at math, socially inept, and they obsess over random shit like anime.

Feeling shitty is usually due to a bad diet and lack of exercise. Just something to consider. What are your symptoms?

>>8691532
Loss of appetite
some non-specific pain (stomach and back)
recently starting getting headaches

i'm certain i do have cancer, i had an abdominal ct scan recently because i thought the loss of appetite must be gastro related, turns out loss of appetite is a major symptom of lung cancer too so now i'm going down that path

>>8691538
everything is a symptom of cancer

Research doesn't lend itself well to informal discussion

This is what is really bugging me personally. Why is nobody using Phi in general? Why the fuck is everyone using Pi?

What does everyone want to keep squaring shit? Goddamn.

>>8698737

There are tons of posts on /sci/ that aren't really /sci/ based but informal discussion based. This post is just honest about it.

you can do it too, op

>>8698662
in math you should always be struggling, because you should be pushing the limit of what you're learning

but "struggling" with calculus? you're just super lazy. go open a book and do the exercises.

Yep.

Confirmation that they were educated.

>>8698227
Why are there such problems in education when every child literally owns an iPad?

Are the masses this retarded?

>>8698231
No your employers need proof you are educated so you waste 12 years of your life to get some certificate to get really bad jobs.

They see the underlying cause of the universe. They see you as a giant hulking mass of scientific garble. It scares them.

nerds are busy

geeks are almost defined by lack social intelligence

highly intelligent people, as a rule, don't lack it

College drop out here. I've done nothing but play games and browse the internet since dropping out.

>bring the world back to the one true path?

Which is?

>eat mostly carbs
I can't cut on carbs because I'm a slob but for the few days I succeed I feel a lot more alert and clear headed.
Do not cook anything.
Eat a chuck of fat at 2k calories in one unique meal with a few other stuff, like eggs, meat and veggies.

whats the reason to not cook

how about trying it out?

Trivial. Exercise left as a challenge to the reader (You).

>If Johnny has six apples
>Problem does not assert that Johnny does have six apples
>The if condition has not been met
>Therefore do not calculate the diameter of the sun
>Therefore the problem is complete

>>8698438
The diameter of the sun is independent from the number of apples that has Johnny. I think I'd use this answer.

It should be reiterated that what is being asked of here is not stuffy old axioms and the same cookie cutter shit you all go through in college and high school, but rather ideas which are mathematical in nature but useless, either because they do not relate to any norms in current scientific and mathematical thinking (which is desirable at this point) or because they are being worked into an aethetic or a piece of art.

Do you really want the answer? Not all answers bring peace of mind. Searching for meaning and ACHIEVING that meaning simply opens the door to the next adventure.

Fibonacci sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc.
Work towards understanding the sequence of abstraction. After understanding, generalize Fibonacci into a pattern:
An = (An-1 + An-2) - the simplest iteration of this pattern exists with the number one, because the only form that can fit it is: A1 = 1 = A(1-1=0) + A(1-0=1).
With this you have established a pattern that can be reasonably inferred. With that it is immediately clear - but given the fact that there is a pattern, any intelligent consciousness would derive what it is if given time/resources to do so.

Now, add a complication. Let’s say: 8, 21, 29, 50, 79, 129, 208, 337… the general formula holds true, but without knowing the first two values it becomes increasingly difficult to derive the pattern without knowing it, and thus appears increasingly random. Even though this is a more complex form, and appears increasingly random as the difference between the first two values becomes larger, it is still subject to being derived.

Further complication; add a multiplier: An = 3(An-1 + An-2). Set your first two values with distance: 3295 and 829583.
Algorithm results: 3295, 829583, 2498634, 9984651, 37449855, 142303518, 539260119, 2044690911… with this small sequence sample, and not knowing the starting pair, it would look hopelessly random even adding as simple of a multiplier to the formula as that. But there is nonetheless a pattern.

This demonstrates that “random” is simply a present inability to understand a pattern. Could we imagine increasingly complex manipulations of sequences so as to make it humanly impossible to determine any given pattern over the course of a lifetime? Absolutely - it wouldn’t even be hard. Add a few operators, an integral, a derivative, and an exponential function to the mix and the task becomes well outside that which can be determined. Change the difference from (n-1) + (n-2) to (n2-17) * (n/ei) and it becomes geometric, adding logarithmic complexity with exponents.
