It's a popular degree because it includes most of the pre-med requirements, and it the easiest degree in pr-med programs. Why take harder Chemistry or Physics and have to take extra courses?

The problem is, not many people get into medschool, and use their Biology degree as a backup, oversaturating the field. If you want to do Biology, seperate yourself from the med school hopefuls by doing undergrad research, which none of them do.

>>8509223
how do you get into undergraduate research? do you apply for a grant or assistant-ship with one of the profs? or just ask if they're looking for help?

Absolutely this OP

all eyes are made about the same, so i think people see about the same color

>>8508143
Okay I see that now, but what if every brain percieves colors in a different way?

fuck i dont know honestly

Shit, hopefully this'll at least get used when that thread fills so that I'm not wasting space.

If something works under bad conditions, it will work under improved conditions.

E.g. if I can run at least 15 km/h, I can also run more than 10 km/h.

What's this principle (perhaps fallacy) called?

There are studies that show that, most people, once they reach a certain level obesity, can never go back to a normal weight.

The ones who do are basically miracles.

>>8513401
Sign into law:

1) If you are over 18 then every time you go to the doctor your weight has to be recorded and that information should be attached to your name and uploaded to a government database

2) Establish a maximum healthy weight

3) If your recorded weight ever surpasses the maximum healthy weight then you will be contacted in some way or another by the government and be told that you have 1 year to put yourself back to the maximum weight and your name will be added to a list with the date your weightloss period has started

4) One year after your weightloss period started government officials will visit your home to measure your weight, if your weight is still above the maximum weight then the officials have the right to take you to jail and add you immediately to the death penalty waitline so that you can be properly executed

5) To avoid bribes and to make sure this law applies to wealthy people, a percentage of the wealth that was previously held by the now executed fat person will be awarded to the executioners. The rest will be divided between the government as "the tax for costing our health system extra, you fat fuck" and your kids , if you had any...

Remove the car park for every food shop and put tire shredders at the entrance to stop them using mobility scooters.

We were born to breed. If you distill it down, we're driven by just two impulses: survival and reproduction. You kill that, you kill half of what you are.

Those are two separate things.

The emotional longing goes away when you fall in love for the first time and get your heart torn to shreds by someone you wanted to be with forever.

The sex drive never goes away unless you take anti-androgens or castrate yourself.

Best solution is to just jerk off quickly in the morning so you can concentrate on your work. Otherwise wear a condom every time you have sex and never believe a word a woman says.

>>8513152
The emotional longing can eventually go away even if you don't get your heart broken. It just takes longer. It's actually one of the few real ways that men and women can become friends.

>Is Time a dimension or what?

It's a scalar.

>>8512783
The whole "time is le 4th dimension xD" shit is a bit of a meme bu it is a dimension in the sense that it can be used to describe physical change independently of the three spatial dimensions, but it's not something we can freely transverse (yet?) like x, y, and z.

>>8512243

i think you know what people are going to say... both... in all likelihood... don't know any research on this but yeah...

i think more interesting is asking the question "what is laziness?". how do you classify or define this behaviour in the context of the brains function and the computations it performs? How do you distinguish it from other categories of behaviour we have that are similar or share similarities, both in expected and unexpected ways?

>>8512253
>brain computations

DUDE THE BRAIN ID AN ANALYTIC ENGINE LMAO

the closest thing you can say about the brain is that it's approximated by a tm in P with an oracle in NP, which represents the qualia of the soul, but even that is wrong because the brain doesn't simply perform computations

>>8512243
Laziness is just your little brainlet brains way of preventing it from overloading

>>8511118
With each mob giving 5 rep and a perfect 2/5 mobs dropping stones you need to kill 334

1667

rep / mob = 5 + 0.4 * 25 * 1/25 = 5.4

9000 = x * rep / mob -> x = 9000 * mob / rep = 9000 / 5.4 = 1667

>>8511138
got the same thing

>>8508472
It already is, brainlet

solution to P=NP

When the people who study it stop believing that they're smart enough to study other fields of science and math.

So many of these faggots I know are """""""autodidacts"""""""""" who think they can learn anything just because they were able to learn a programming language all by themselves. You're not smart. Fucking kill yourself.

They realized the memedrive works and now have to come up with an iimaginary explanation to not make them look stupid lmao

whats really funny is when Undergraduate 1st or 2nd year non-physics students try and tell PhD Physicists with 30 years of experience how to do their jobs

>>8508447
Physicists are so dumb lol. I see dark photons all the time! JUST TURN OFF THE LIGHT LOL

Inspect Element is my favorite


but its probably silicon, not because of le computer science (I hate straight-up, programming it feels mindless, but I like shit in the vein of Matlab) but because it looks cool when pure and like its what rocks are made of.

>>8507717
>Which is your favourite element?

Suprise.

>>8507717
My favourite element is the autism particle

>both parents aren't brainlets and thus the son isn't a brainlet either

eh I'd definitely call him privileged but not in the liberal sense of the word (although of course that applies to his case as well)

leftists like diversity except in the intelectual sense

Take another high IQ kid
>High IQ kid like kid in OP
>Parents IQ 90-100
>Family income $25,000
>Attend rural highschool
>Highest math class offered is Calculus I
>Scores average on SAT (no tutors and no one in the school really knows what the SAT is/how to prepare for it)
>Gets into a below 50 State School
>Starts at Calculus II freshman year
>Takes maybe 1-2 graduate courses senior year

Even with same IQ as kid in OP, kid in OP will be considered more intelligent, successful and obtain more wealth than kid in this example.

Those are the claims being made by the inventor.
