how do I overcome clinical depression?
>>8697923
end ure'self
see doctor, get medication, go to therapist, exercise daily, remove main points of stress in your life, find something you genuinely enjoy and look forward to (can be anything, like a video game or a show or something), spend time in nature
>>8697947
This nigga gets it
It's easy to get lost in the feeling of depression and think that's all there is
Hit the doctor and get some meds
You may have to try a few different kinds to find the right concoction for you
Exercise and diet and generally not being slothy will help too
Onward and upward bro
I want to make large quantities of iron oxide powder. I have access to thousands of pounds of iron powder. What would be the best method of doing this? I have fucked around with electrolysis and metal rods, but I'm not sure how that would work with the powder which will just be settled at the bottom of the bucket.

if we were to think about Existence as a whole, as Everything that ever did, is and will be (every possible information or set of informations),
then its source (seed) is clear;
We start from a notion of non-existence, something that does not exist: never did, is or will. So that which does not exist can not have any description.
That means that non-existence is an empty field, it nullifies its self in its inception. Conclusion; a non-existence does not Exist.
That leaves us with an Infinite vast "Everything". I think that this is what this our Existence actually is. What we experience is part of "Everything that there is".
But now we can ask; Can existence "be" without "knowing" its self, without knowing that it exists. I think that any state of any information requires
a "Councious Agent" to acknowledge such a state, otherwise, you end up with paradox.
So in turn that "Everything that there is" (let's call it Existence for simplification need) is one-half of the seed for the whole, the whole needs
a Consciousness in order to actualize itself.
This what is described here I believe to be; a sole foundation for this or any possible Universe there is, for everything.
I think that From that seed The Cosmic Awareness fractalizes itself into smaller awarenesses, And observes a part
of its self rather than the whole. This fractalization is what we call dimensionality. So the Source Awareness
experiences itself as every possible version of its self. Because it is it's function.
Like some ultimate cosmic game of ego, of hide and seek.
to summarize; Existence is an entity that Observes every possible state of its self, of which there can be infinite amount.
this is a video that first helped me kinda visualize this. And it is that, just a thought experiment.

Explain to me why 0.999...= 1
Don't use algebraic proofs because they don't prove anything other than their own limitations as far as infinite concepts.
If you think about having a total pool of $1,000,000,000 and you have 99.9999999% of that. you still only have $999,999,999 and someone else has $1. You can expand that to infinity and it will not change the fact that there will always be a small part you will not have, as long as you assume infinite ways to divide small sums of money.
Please teach me why this is not true. Again, please focus on logical thought, not algebra et al.
>>8697437
0 stand for nothing/ does not exist, so .9999.... = 1/-.1111....
>>8697437
Thats because you limit it you fuck. Its an unending number. so if you have 99.999.. of anyones money you would have them all. Because you can go lower and lower until you get sub cents.
>>8697437
because the distance between 0.999... and 1 is 0 thus they are the same points

Unless there is a hot atmosphere keeping heat in, there would be some parts of the planet with tolerable temperatures.
Can I get a quick rundown on nutrition science?
Is everything science? Is there a lolibutt science?

Still in its infancy and sorrounded by dogma atm
What do you think of the possibility of humans living to ages of a couple hundred years old?

Yes we will have indefinite life spans in 20 years give or take 5 years, maybe even early with AI assisted research. What problems will occur? wew lad.

You sound miserable. You were lied to anon.

I live for the work that I do. There's more to life than money. I've never had much money so it's not like I'll be missing it.

yup, as a paleontologist in the making I may be broke as hell for much of my life but nothing short of working for NASA is better than studying dinosaur bones and shit

I probably would. If I was dumb, that is.

Not only this, but half the reason they ask to remove all metals object is the MRI itself would be damaged.
Is infinity actually real?
This guy seems to think it doesn't exist in any form and it's just a meaningless idea:
http://theorangeduck.com/page/infinity-doesnt-exist
I though infinity was just a concept it's not something thats actually real outside of math
>>8696088
Theoretically time is infinite since it seems like the universe is just going to keep stretching out forever

When did you realize that all scientific and technological progress is done by the top 0.01% and 99.99% of humans are just talking animals with no real intelligence and that they should be killed off like the unintelligent monkeys that they are?

Kill yourself

Is there a scientific reason why 99% of people never achieve true greatness in anything they do? Are some people just meant to be worker drones while a select few shape the world?
There reason is simpler than science, it's just logic. Greatness is relative. It's rare by definition. If everyone else had down syndrome, you'd be a regular Einstein. If everyone on Earth were ten times smarter than Einstein, Einstein would be considered a retard.
yes there is actually 99% of people are drones because the are brought up to be drones in the school where they teach you memorise shit but not how to actually think properly. Your pic related was mostly self taught which is why he achieved greatness.
>>8695839
Nope. Incorrect as usual. There is objective value to "greatness"
For example
99% of humans never produce any NEW scientific information. Nothing to do with relative stuff. Has to do what is considered scientific information.
Another example
Humans share pretty much identical brain size and muscle size (on a little larger scale). Still some humans manage to be thousands of times more efficient with them (like Usain Bolt, Donald Trump, Rihanna).
Theory discarded.
