Please. Just kill yourself.

>>8373039
The Hunter vs Farmer hypothesis is among the most retarded in the field of evolutionary psychology and thats saying a lot. Sorry kid, you were never meant to be some warrior killing saber toothed tigers. You're a fucking neurotic faggot with poor executive functioning skills. Also
> But after nearly a decade of introspection, I can formally say that there is truth to this hypothesis
A decade of what? Lab research? You write a protracted dissertation? Write 16 peer reviewed articles, or did you just look for an excuse for incompetence and go with the sexiest choice?

Fellow adhd sufferer here. Take your fucking meds and stop embarrassing us with asinine threads

>>8368685
what does that mean?
>no scientific background here, if that matters

>>8368686
i just looked it up on wiki, and based on the article i don't think that this will happen soon. so no...

yeah when we stop fighting and learn to trust each other
might take some breeding but we'll get there

>>8366387

Physics to explain how things work
Philosophy to explain why things work
Mathematics to explain how things can work
Biology/Chemistry/Pharmacy to make you work
Engineering to allow you to work

Computer science/Computer engineering. Working with computers is the closest will ever get to magic in this world. So there's that.

Do you think if they gave headpats for good performance, grades at university would go up?

Or down?

Make friends or switch majors, you're supposed to enjoy what you're learning.

In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue

Unethical.

>>8364062
Of course it is.

It might lead to more intelligent, healthy, or attractive humans.

>>8364006
Am I the only person who doesn't give a shit about ethics? Especially when it has to do with Human Embryos and other things that cant feel pain
What exactly makes this unethical? inb4 God

Writting and reading comprehension.

They can't even get the weather right in my country half the time, why would i think they can predict with any accuracy what will happen decades from now?

>I can't predict the precise moment I'm going to take a shit tommorow therefore it's wrong to predict that I will take a shit tommorow
(You)

I don't think it isn't true, I just don't care that much.
Imo overpopulation is a much bigger issue.

One of the good things that common core tries to achieve is a more unified education system. Say for example, your dad works for the army, has to move around a lot. Means you switch schools a lot. This also means the education you receive is different depending on the school. With common core, this is no longer a problem.

However, the actual education is gigalul, of course I may have one of the few who learned things from my teachers in high school :^)

>adopting a fast food model for education
No.

My brother put his kid in private school to avoid this shit

apply for an EBT card and listen to hip hop

>>8362786
Be really happy, like profoundly happy. Happiness decreases and depression increases the more intelligent you are after all, so a reduction in intelligence must mean i'd be extremely blissful.

>>8362787
>listen to hip hop
Intelligent people already listen to hiphop. It's the thinking man's musical genre.

This is a tough question. Do the collisions of atomic and sub-atomic particles, because they follow strict laws, prove pre-determinism because our brains are also made out of the same shit? Or does that not lead to pre-determinism? Idk man.

The real question is why would anyone give a shit?

Literally doesn't make a difference

>>8366391
yes it does. it has moral and judicial implications.

>Here i define consciousness as the raw experience/perceiving of stimuli. By this definition it seems that even atoms, quarks, photons, etc have an amount of consciousness (the atom must be aware and perceiving of another atom for it to react at all)

You don't need to perceive stimuli to be affected by stimuli.

The latest findings from the real neuroscience of creativity suggest that the right brain/left brain distinction does not offer us the full picture of how creativity is implemented in the brain.* Creativity does not involve a single brain region or single side of the brain.
Instead, the entire creative process– from preparation to incubation to illumination to verification-- consists of many interacting cognitive processes (both conscious and unconscious) and emotions. Depending on the stage of the creative process, and what you’re actually attempting to create, different brain regions are recruited to handle the task.
Importantly, many of these brain regions work as a team to get the job done, and many recruit structures from both the left and right side of the brain. In recent years, evidence has accumulated suggesting that “cognition results from the dynamic interactions of distributed brain areas operating in large-scale networks.”
Depending on the task, different brain networks will be recruited.
For instance, every time you pay attention to the outside world, or attempt to mentally rotate a physical image in your mind (e.g., trying to figure out how to fit luggage into the trunk of your car), the Dorsal Attention / Visuospatial Network is likely to be active. This network involves communication between the frontal eye fields and the intraparietal sulcus:

I just smoked a lot of pot, and this pic is tripping me out.

Once you "get it" then dynamic systems will never look the same, "seeing" calculus is the sci-pill.

>derivative functions
A derivative function of f is a function that maps the independent variable to the slopes of the tangent lines on f. An integral function of f is a function that maps the independent variable to the enclosed areas between f and the x axis. What is so confusing about this?

zuckerberg is always anxious and sweating and doing "likeable" things in hope that people will consider him a good person, something which he'll never be since his whole business is to treat other humans as objects to sell

Is he?

>>8365543
but if he did end up finding the cure for all disease, would you like him?
