oh, i guess im an idiot

by the time those cities are underwater, everyone will have long evacuated, moved to better, futuristic cities and go on vacations to the old city and scuba dive in parking lots.

or I guess we'll all just have egg on our face when a giant wave crashes down on every coastline in the world

Shitty bait

Libruls can be deluded too, they just tend to fall for other kind of bullshit, like GMO hate, new age bullshit, etc. Also, the average person knows jack shit about climate change, the only reason they don't deny it is that they aren't politically motivated to do so, and depending on their social circle, it would make them look stupid.

metaphysics is pretty much dead

Both
major in Philosophy and Physics

add Math if you can also because graduate level physics (which you'll need to understand Theoretical Physics (and some fields of Philosophy) require really complex Maths

probably gonna want to do Neuroscience/Paychology/Neurobiology/etc/etc whichever explains why the brain works the way it does and explains experiences and consciousness etc because for all we know, that may play a huge role

>>9125516
Dude acid lmaoo, we are one, consciousness is the universe experiencing itself XD XD.

YES!

that is only the tip of the iceburg though, your mind is infinitely powerful

I dubbed this "autoevolution" some number of years ago. It's conceivably possible, but would need dedicated machinery and novel signal transduction and information storage (state) structures. Memory is just state. There is nothing that is not memory. The attempt then becomes, different, finer grained, low level control of memory.

It would be easier to do this with micromachines than having some generator for chemical signalling. Error rate and potential for external tampering would be lower.

There are inherent design difficulties and potential vulnerabilities in self directed iteration and control of genetic machinery. It also implies arbitrary gene access and recombination, which has many issues as well.

Ecologist here. I want to destroy our infrastructure.
Fuck smokey the bear, forest fires used to be good smhkms

>>9125656
They're good every few thousand years when they are started by natural causes. Not 4x/' year when Chad flicks his cigarette into a pile of leaves or doesn't put out his campfire.

>>9125660
>every few thousand years
Adaptive cycles typically work faster than that. Anyways yeah, frequent unintentional forest fires are a problem in a post industrial world. Rip oak savana tho, fire suppression is retarded.

Quit bigot, go fuck a brown person or I will kill you.

if that was true you could answer the question.

Why are we fighting against the natural course of natural history?

Because, as far as I can tell, its to fulfill some sort of idealistic philosophy - a childish utopia where everyone is treated the same, looks the same, and speaks the same language. No doubt they must all have the same religious beliefs too then?

Perhaps we should restart the Eugenics programs to help them.

No, i want to get to the bottom of this, because it seems counterproductive to humanity.

A human can't face off against a panther any more than deinonychus, however how would they get into that situation? Our ancestors stayed in groups, slept in caves an surveyed their territory, hunting down dangerous predators.

It greatly depends. "Dinosaur" is a very broad term. On a chronological time line, the last dinosaurs are closer to humans than they are to the first dinosaurs. And the evolutionary conditions which led to the era of massive dinosaurs are just incompatible with the conditions which led to the birth of humans so it's mostly implausible for dinos and humans to coexist in the same habitat not because one would exterminate the other but because of different conditions. And unlike humans, the dinos wouldn't have made it through the ice ages. But in the end I guess it wouldn't be much worse than when early homos had to deal with mammoths and saber tigers.

In America, people who live in the country side often have to deal with bears, so they are often seen carrying revolvers and even shotguns just in case. So that would mean in an America with dinos they would be seen carrying heavier weapons, maybe grenade launchers and bazookas. Alaskan hunters would display, instead of grizzly bear heads and moose heads, T-rex heads on their homes. Dino meat would be an important part of human diet and niggers would enjoy buckets of fried dinosaurs they get from KFD (Kentucky Fried Dino). If you were to travel to France you'd see very expensive dino skin jackets and purses on sale by Louis Vitton and whatever other expensive name brands. History has had plenty of important catastrophes like the Versuvius eruption which fucked the Romans badly or the Fukushima tsunami, so dino swarms that completely destroy entire cities would make into these lists of important historical natural disasters. In Texas dino rodeos would be popular. Cowboys, knights and samurai would obviously ride velociraptors instead of horses and kings, because of their higher social hierarchy, would ride into battles mounted on a T-rex.

Lmao cars won't exist at any significant scale for more than 50 years

>>9125280
But if punctuated equilibrium turns out to b right, they won't have to.

>>9125290
It is right and I'm sure many animals have already learned not to run out infornt of cars. They still have no choice to run across the road much of the time. Behavioral plasticity is the what really determines this.

Ask your dad how old he was when he started going grey. It's probably just genetics.

>Counting the individual gray hairs
I think it's autism anon.

Jokes aside, genes play a significant role. There is no significant correlation between stress and premature gray hair. Finally, a vitamin B-12 deficiency or problems with your pituitary or thyroid gland can cause premature gray hair. The final ones are usually irreversible.

I've had gray hair ever since I was ~12. It got worst when I was 16 or so. Now I'm 18 and I have very few again(some here and there, barely noticeable to be honest). It's probably related to stress.
My dad started to have gray hair when he was in his 40's, nowadays he is 47 and has many paths of gray hair.
Also, I'm very mixed between many european "races"(northen italian, french, german, british). I've got light brown hair(used to be blonde when I was a kid), hazel/green eyes, blonde mustache, orange beard, light brown pubes, blonde leg hair, etc.
I'm not OP btw

What are you talking about?
Jews created the Nukes bitch.
Einstein & Oppenheimer.

>>9124720
But Einstein also wanted it not to be used for bombs

>>9124720
Wrong. Einstein and Oppenheimer were both black, as can be observed from the picture.

As always the fucking jews claiming they did everything.

Neural connections rewiring in the brain.

>>9124542
There is an entire area of philosophy devoted to this. It's called epistemology.

Another interesting question is: what is the criteria for having knowledge? I believe it was the Greeks that first proposed that one knows something iff it's a true belief. But if you believe something for the wrong reasons, then is it really knowledge? This led to adding justification as a requirement for knowledge. So now we have knowledge iff justified true belief. But then gettier came around with some counterexamples to that equivalence so now we're trying to add more conditions to make things work.

In terms of the physical change in the brain, it changes after the development of a belief and this would be identical for true and false beliefs (given that knowledge is a subset of true beliefs). So asking what knowledge would be physically is actually a pointless question because it looks the same as incorrect information in the brain.

I can save you the effort of studying epistemology by summarizing it this way: you can't know if you know, I can't know that either, I think.

>>9124542
Read on some Popper, the guy who formed the falsification principle.
Just search epistemology in general, any good scientist should be acquainted with it.

>>9124430
I took mechanical cos I was interested in this field. Still working my way thru the degree and might get a masters in biomed engineering

>>9124430
get an engineering degree then go to med school. the kind of career you are talking about takes 20+ years of schooling to achieve.
