because hes seriously, literally, objectively foreverly, an engineer genius inventor.


lol hahah maximum at all those non-knower haters that claim hes full of PR.

you think he does the things he does because pr people tell him to look like a cartoon version of an historically great genius


well guess what little hater non knower boy


he is

literally

an historically greatest genius

so saddle on and prepare to ride the train of accepting his objective subjectivity or go right on home because youre either right or youre wrong on this one kiddy

lol, k, sure

He's just geeky and awkward, like the majority of engineers and physicists.

Our own narrative is artificial. We create our narrative universe recursively. We make a representation of our senses that is useful to be believed because we are still here to believe it.

So if we ever did create the machinery that would develop its own narrative, what makes you think it would have any story about us?

Any true Intelligence is based on the conditions of its own sense space, and the intent of survival in that space, in so much as it has to act to remain.

Without that criteria, it has no way to determine whether the comparison of its stories can choose a winner, and its stories would be indistinguishable from random noise.

So if we are not part of that story, then we will not even be seen as anything but noise to whatever intelligence survives.

The truly intelligent agent, that can sense its senses, sense itself, and sense itself sensing itself, may not have any reason to make a story of us, nor would its environment ever choose which stories it made useful to be believed in a way that included the criteria our world choses for our stories.

An AI might never know we exist in a way that it could acknowledge our narrative, just like intelligences may surround us that we cannot perceive as anything but noise.

the question is more how motivated you are. if you really love doing whatever you're doing you can learn it MUCH faster

Carbon is highly conductive too. I'd just do all the circuits from carbon welding.

>>8459122
Fascinating.
Do you think you could figure out a way to bridge the tool gap lacking metals?

If not, that's okay. It's just a hypothetical.

I'd been thinking of carbon engineering/smithing, but wasn't sure if that only comes after developing metal tools. In theory, you'd already have a perfect understanding of the science to do it yourself.

Doped semiconductors will do the job. Also some polymers are cunductive, just not fast enough for RF applications.

>>>/x/

>>8459061
weak, take it back to the drawing board

>>8459061

There is so much stuff orbiting arround the sun, you can't call everything "planet"..

But basically I agree, it was a terribly irrelevant intellectual circlejerking to undo Pluto's status. I guess it's about someone's ego.

This. And if you happen to be genetically unlucky then do your best at the above and prepare your thorax for a bypass surgery and a shitload of pain and inconvenience.

It's no more of a symbiotic relationship than when you eat rotten food that makes you puke.

How do you explain the mental effects of substances that are not directly a derivative of plants?

Bottom line, if you can ascribe a form of intelligent life to plants due to the effects the have when ingested by mamals, you can also do that with chemicals. You what you are acctually saying is that matter itself should have a form of intelligence because it can alter our perception. Which is bollocks.

Wikipeia says:

>Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself.
>It has been defined as: sentience, awareness, subjectivity, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood, and the executive control system of the mind.

I would say that plants are capable of feeling, perceiving sensory input, etc. I'm not sure about what plants have in place of a central nervous system, but they have auxin and the like in order to respond to environmental stimuli

I'm not sure about the "sense of selfhood" part
________________

As far as the drugs themselves, you would have to argue that they themselves are capable of self awareness while inside you.

I guess if you consider the combination of the drug+the person as an entity that is distinct from either the drug or the person, than this entity is conscious. Yet, from my own experience with psychedelics, I would not necessarily say that one is entirely conscious during a psychedelic trip.

get paid pupper. And any incredibly lethal and virulent strain of virus thats airborne and doesnt manifest observable symptoms until its too late.

Just kill the Austro-Hungarian prince

>Things don't stick in my head because there's no feeling associated to them.
No, it's because you're dumb junkie.

>Sort of anhedonia and mild depression.
Great, another special snowflake.
Just get back to work and learn to enjoy solving problems.

I assed myself: "Why does butts exist?"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_factorial
Now delete this stupid thread.

How about
[eqn]1 + \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{\prod\limits_{m=0}^{n-1}2 \cdot m + 1}{n \cdot 3^n}[/eqn]

>>8459742
That summation equals ln(3/2) btw

>Is ADHD even real?

Pretty clearly not given how rapidly the diagnosis count went up in such a short amount of time. It was a meme, just like autism, transgender dysphoria, and most everything else psychiatry is involved with.

Most of them end up having depression later in life. Basically human waste and should be euthanized as soon as the symptoms manifest

>>8457318
Real but highly overmedicated and over diagnosed. There are a select number of children who simply cannot focus on a single task for a minute, not out of stupidity but because their brain picks up on a lot more stimuli and hyperalert.
