Something that I've long not understood about sociopaths is how do a lot of them often have the day to day characteristic of being disinterested or involved in the world around them but they choose to kill. Killing someone is what I believe to be the rawest emotion you could possibly bring out of someone. The visual of forcing someone to express emotion to you whether it's begging for their life or screaming in agonizing pain. My conclusion is that these sociopaths didn't receive the full emotional attention as a child so they weren't fully developed socially or emotionally mature in return aiding them in the path to pull out the rawest emotion from other.

Psychopath: your brain is fucked up at birth.
Sociopath: areas of your brain devoted to emotions shrink to cope with poor environmental conditions.
Result: you don't feel impeded in chasing the greatest high, hurting others.

You realise only a small percentage of sociopaths kill ? Thanks for trying though, hope high school goes well

What is the appropriate intellectual music for a /sci/entist? For example the obvious genre math rock, which is algorithmic in nature.

Can the need for sleep be permanently cured? We'd be able to triple the amount of worker productivity.

No. You must go to sleep every once in a while, you can't stay in the simulation for too long unless you want to go mad.

...How would eliminating sleep triple productivity? Shouldn't it just increase it by 50%? (Assuming 8 hours of sleep per 24 hour period)

Recommend good Youtube channels.
Is there anybody similar to Isaac Arthur? I like info-rich long-form videos that treat the audience like they're intelligent.

Also his videos are the comfiest in existence.

Wouldn't it just make sense that it just keeps zooming out into infinity. Like those russian dolls that gets smaller and smaller but instead they get bigger and bigger forever.

Yes, but they wouldn't be able to come in contact with the other infinite universes that would exist, though this doesn't stop you from viewing it.

At the absolute zero, nothing moves which means time is halted. General relativity does NOT account for this, which is why we need to combine it with thermodynamics.
Thoughts?

So it seems about,28 countries in the world have banned GM products, mostly in EU. Can someone tell me the rational?
http://sustainablepulse.com/2015/10/22/gm-crops-now-banned-in-36-countries-worldwide-sustainable-pulse-research/#.WBKUmvorI2w
From my knowledge of molecular biology and genetics, it seems the problem that people have with GMO is the idea of inserting advantageous genes (DNA sequences) from other species into plants. It is especially off putting to them because these genes are from bacteria. Is this not an over reaction considering all organisms share the same genetic code on a basic level? The only if difference is the actual sequences and thus protein products,are different.
According to nih and even science magzine (you can read the full reticle only if you subscribe )they havent been shown to be particularly harmful to humans but possibly more to the environnent.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17522828
I've read the methods of gene insertion and location into the plant genomes are random.
And that could be a problem.
http://responsibletechnology.org/gmo-education/health-risks/
http://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/issues/311/ge-foods/ge-food-and-your-health
Also anyone have links to studies that look for the relationship between immundeficiency, toxicity, and cancer with GM products. a the expriments described here are limited. I want to know the full studies.
thanks.

I feel gmo's are totally fine and it's just the media hyping shit up like they always do. This is probably the only way we can continue to feed people in the future. I see where the concerns are but think about all the chicken the world eats. There is literally no way we can continue to keep up without them. But I'm probably just talking out of my ass because I just know basic bio stuff.

naw it's just a propaganda artice claiming that old urban legend the Chinese food places serve dog to American customers. I'm sure some Chinese in the U.S follow their tradition and eat dog but I doubt they are serving it instead of chicken or pork lol.

New one... with an easy *VECTORS* equation...
What does pic related mean? I understand that I need to find the angle where the vectors are either coming from or going to B but how and why do you know to write A->B instead of B->A or B->C instead of C->B.
Looked in the markscheme and it came up with B->A and B->C
Any reason for this?

Here's a hint
AB dot BC equals the magnitude of AB times the magnitude of BC times the cosine of the angle between AB and BC
You can rearrange and solve for the angle
