I was wondering if someone here could answer a couple questions I have about this subject.
Are there any examples of other animals (non-humans) using music to improve their memories? And if this phenomenon is exclusive to humans, would it have been a major factor in human progress?

are you saying I should post this on reddit instead?
If it does happen it would happen in animals that are always around humans (pets). It's been shown that domesticated animals are much more intelligent than wild animals and I think it's because of their interaction with people.
Mathematics was invented not discov-

What does this have to do with the claim that math is discovered?
actually since only our self exists math is always invented but only by the people studying it

What is /sci/'s stance on IQ score being a good indicator of intelligence, ability, and cognition? Is it outdated? Are there better ways to measure and determine someones abilities, strengths and skills?
>>9140876
Being smart implies that you will score high in the IQ test. But scoring high in the IQ test does not imply you are smart (this can be proven via a counter example. There are many brainlets with high IQs).
So if you get a low score in the IQ test then that means you are retarded, so you can trust it as a first-measure retardation test. However, if you pass it then you may be a false positive, and here is where more technical tests can be useful.
In my opinion, a good application of IQ tests could be in job applications. Force everyone who applies to take a quick IQ test. Anyone below 130 gets immediately dropped. After that then you take the ones who remain and give them a technical test on the specific skills for the job, and that way you can more accurately measure intelligence.
That said, even there you could get some false positives. There are people who learn things by reading books, instead of just intuitively knowing everything which is the definition of intelligent. So we have to accept there are limits on testing and the best we can do is wait for having genetic indicators for intelligence and using those.
>>9140903
>intuitively knowing everything
No such thing.
Knowledge can only be built on to previously known knowledge, not mattering how fast or how effectively the person thinks. Knowledge is everything, even more so than innate intelligence. Intelligence itself is a very very vague concept.
>genetic indicators for intelligence
Genetics don't really have that much effect on intelligence since it is pretty malleable even on adulthood. People who believe in genetic determinism don't actually know how genes or intelligence works.

What contributes more to longevity and life-long wellbeing, physical activity or nutrition?
Are you a bit dumb, son? Nutrition of course.
If you stop eating, you die. If you eat something poisonous, you die.
Meanwhile, if you spend your whole life lying on a coach eating cookies, it takes longer to die.
Any intelligent answers?

On /sci/? I'm afraid not, this is a LARPing board.

Depends. According to /pol/ if sociology is used to measure the IQs of different races then sociology is 100% true science that cannot be argued with. But if sociology is used to prove that race doesn't exist then it is FAKE NEWS. WRONG!
So I guess we'll never know.
is op a faggot?

No because it doesn't use the scientific method.

I hope you mean the recent movie Deadpool and not the regular comic portrayal.
But no, sorry, the science isn't real. You'd have to somehow imprint your DNA on cancer and then have that cancer replace every cell in your body. There's no way to do that. Cancer isn't even one disease. We can't even do this with nanobots yet. Worse, your cancer may be associated with your genetics, which would make it impossible to turn you into Deadpool anyway.

Psychology has been trying too hard to fit with the other academic sciences by applying useless statistics and oversimplifying people's personalities as if they were chemical compounds with definite, unchanging properties. For instance, the Big Five personality model at its core is absolutely arbitrary and doesn't actually explain anything on how personalities work. If anything, it should be considered a sociological stastistic instead of a psychological project.
What would be a better aproach for studying the human mind, /sci/?
I'd say a biological aproach like those in evolutionary psychology or ethology would be interesting in tracing the development of the instincts, as well as their evolutionary functions. It would also add a lot more objectivity for psychology by having it linked with biology, which can be extended to neurology and sociology, which are highly complementary to psychology.
Another ideia would be focusing on how people develop their personalities since birth. Maybe by studying and comparing people's life stories individually, we could build some sort of typology for personality development. This would be a much better way of cataloguing personality since it would actually show data that can be used to explain how personality works.
Any suggestions?

As I said, it tried way too hard to be like chemistry.
This type of experiment is impossible or very difficult to do in a science such as psychology, especially as it is now.
Due to the laws of thermodynamics, a perpetual motion machine is impossib-
Nobody said impossible, they said improbable. Close though
This is of course not a perpetual motion machine. It only works as long as there is water to drink, which is slowly running out.

Scalar energy has been known since the 1800s and has been able to be used since 1904 when Tesla was able to transmit them. They were suppose to be used as the next stage of our energy use, but since it was basically "free" energy, he received no funding to replace our electric grid. We have been going for over 100 years using fossil fuels when we haven't needed to that of which has obviously polluted our atmosphere.
Does anyone here study scalar energy?
Has anyone here taught themselves the Mind Palace method for memorizing stuff?
