Hello Sci.
I'm originally a /lit/ poster, but recently I've seen he board become a residence for some pol posters who always come in to shit on minority and female writers.
When I go there, I see tons of threads about how women and minorities are subhuman and or less intelligent.
I'm not looking for someone on Sci to feed me a blue or redpill so I can pick a side, I just want to become more educated to the world around me.
So I'm asking if you guys have some book recs, or can discuss the scientific and intelligent conclusions to the question of racial sameness and gender sameness. Are races and genders inferior to each other or not?
Thanks.
>>8262362
And yet this thread will still devolve into /pol/tier shitposting
>>8262367
Doesn't have to. Do you have any thoughts or ideas about it?
>>8262362
Women are inferior to men in nearly every way that matters in the sense that the average woman is slower, stupider and lazier than the average man.
With race it is actually harder to tell because Asians are pretty good at everything too so this implies that whites do not have a 'smart gene' and maybe the reason why blacks underachieve is because they are usually poorer than white people.
I would say that races are equal.
Genders are unequal and women are the obvious losers. I mean, this is not even a question. No sexism and no hate but obviously everyone can notice that women are simply inferior. They tend to be smaller and less intelligent.
Ok, concider the following:
We are part of a Universe, self conscious. We began to use symbols and signs to represent numbers. Numbers have a meaning, an association with something in our world, but it is constructed by us. We try to explain the Universe with Math that we "invented". Could it be, that we can only reach out to a certain extend and that after a certain extend we understand that we need to reinvent a "language" like math to explain and understand bigger Problems in our Universe? Would it be Math 2.0? Im never on sci but this question popped up this night. Can you please discuss with me? As im not a native english speaker please use "simple" words. So i wont experience a communication difficulty like we maight will have in math? thanks :)
Math is based on what we think is logic but our logic is limited to our mind and understanding... (Op here)
are you still alive? did i anything wrong?

I received a suggestion from my university that they want me to apply for Fulbright for a project proposal.
Are there any Fulbright recipients here? Can anyone give me the non-normie details on the award?
Thanks /sci/
PS- This is the undergrad with the lab, I had a thread a while back that was pretty useless.

bump for interest
You don't have a lab faggot. kys

He actually does.
OP, get off 4chan already. You don't need to brag to losers.
thoughts on insomnia and study, /sci/ ?
>stay awake for 2-3 days sometimes
>somehow this is my most productive period
>well-rested self essentially useless by comparison
>herbal tea and weed can put me to sleep
>but why be well rested when i could be productive?
anyone else experience this ?
cant be good, but it is what it is.........
>>8262168
Do you ever experience depression or low moods?
>>8262170
yeah dude, and i drink too much on a not-irregular basis
>>8262177
You might have bipolar.
What you are describing sounds a lot like mania; I have experienced it extensively myself.
The insomnia could also be caused by a thyroid issue or some other underlying condition though, so go get checked out by your doctor.

What college and course do you attend /sci/?
Do you like your field?
What are you planning to do once you graduate?
>>8262167
College - Harvard Undergrad and MIT Phd. all the hardest classes in both. my postgrad research got me a medal at the white house from le muslim man
Field - Sociology with a focus in the correlation between video games and rape statistics
After School - I'll probably kill myself via backflip off bridge
>>8262167
quadruple major from MIT and did some work over at Oxford just teaching some classes while doing my thesis on super-math.
Got my dick sucked by Obama last year for proving the super-math conjecture.
Created a new field that isn't science or math, it's just science and math.
After school I think I'll sit home watching TV getting fat the usual haha
Field of study - Aeronautical Engineering, going to be a senior
After school - I would like to become a structural designer for commercial aircraft
I like my field. It's really comfy.
Any people here or any people you know who choose their study subject because of a goal they have rather than having an interest in the subject itself?
How did it work out?
Anything where people think they can make money and have no disdain for the field
That kind of people arent going to build snowboard halls...
How is the Russell paradox a paradox? Don't all sets contain themselves by definition? So the 'paradox' is irrelevant/meaningless.
Am I missing something here?
>>8262050
contain as an element, not as a subset
>>8262056
What's the difference?
{{X}} contains {X} as an element and {X} is also a subset, right? Or is {{X}} the subset? Both?
>>8262133
it contains {X} as an element.
The subsets of {{X}} are the empty set and {{X}}. In other words, {X} is not a subset of {{X}}, because X is not in {{X}}.
What is your answer to the hard problem of consciousness ?
Howcome quarks, gluons, protons, neutrons, etc create in consciousness ?
Since they all abide the physical laws of the universe, doesn't that mean the universe is conscious in nature somehow ?
Yep. Panpsychism basically.

You're assuming that consciousness is some "special" characteristic and not a product of the human brain.
Need help designing a research study for a research grant proposal regarding the ocean and climate change. I need to think of a question then develop a scientific process that costs 500k-1.5 million. Considering:
Climate change effect on deep water
Mammal migration
>>8261957
I think seeing a possible grant opportunity and then designing research around it is a terrible way to go.
You should be already interested in possible projects that you know well, and when a grant shows up, take one of them and propose it.
>>8261963
I know but I am just doing a mock up study before I teach a class on elevation physics and I need to practice
>>8261957
The ocean is a giant sink for co2.
The ocean is warming
Fish and plankton need to adjust to temp changes or die out.
Whales will change migration patterns to possibly colder spots, or change the time of year they migrate and reproduce.
Can someone explain why the digital root of certain numbers results in (what appears to be) uncanny coincidence.
For example
5x14 = 70. 7+0 = 7. 5x5=25. 2+5=7.
4x130 = 520. 5+2+0=7. 4x4 = 16. 1+6 = 7.
it seems to me that 14 and 13 should have nothing in relation with 5 and 4, and yet they do.
Also, are there tricks to using this relationship to make sums easier? And what is the explanation of stuff like the Vedic Square and number 9?
coincidence or not?
here's another thing
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6... = 21. 2 + 1 = 3
10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15... = 75. 7+5 = 12. 1+2 = 3
5 x 14 = 70. 7+0 = 7
5 x 5 = 25. 2+5 = 7

Hey /sci/,
I'm a chemistry master's student working in a small lab whose focus is on the total synthesis of natural products. I am thinking about taking an extra semester to finish up my thesis and make it better than what it would be if I defend at the end of the summer. We had to move labs a couple of semesters ago, and let me tell you that it literally took an entire semester from us as it was more labor than anyone had forseen. Anyway, forgetting these excuses has anyone here taken more than two years to complete their master's degree?
Is this career suicide? Will anyone consider me for PhD if they know that I did this? For me, money is not really an issue and the school I attend is pretty small, so its relatively cheap. I guess my real question is, how bad does this look in the long run??
Any advice, especially that based on real experiences, is much appreciated.
Just felt like asking people here, as some may have actual experience in regards to this as opposed to consulting some other website or forum.

This is my opinion about how psychedelics works, and why it might be illegal; if the gov don't want people do think freely. Also, if this is nonsense, I have another theory: Psychedelics makes communication within neurotransmitters a bit strange, information is solved in a different way. Because of this it is a possibility to burn in fake memories in a persons brain, like brainwashing(those fake memories is delusions). Have you ever heard about the "Devil's breath"? It's a very strong psychedelic that is used to make people do everything they say, by blowing powder from a plant on a persons face.
On psychedelics you start thinking, maybe a little to much, because that is how psychedelics works, you start overthinking.
I disagree 100% that psychedelics is dangerous for everyone, but it is in fact dangerous for some people, here is why:
Overthinking can do stuff with your sight of reality. Some people that takes for an example LSD, does not realize that some of this thought might be wrong, especially when it comes to cannabis. It's the same thing here, but in a lower grade; so not everyone is aware enough for the delusions that might come up. After a trip, you have to think and be very careful with the thoughts you have. What is wrong, and what is right? Sober you are the best thinker, but psychedelics can make you think wider while sober.
This is my opinion of psychedelics. This might not be 100% right, that's why I want to discuss it with you.
>>8261858
I like the thought. Perhaps as more options open we move away from conventional reactions and opinions to things? I don't really know enough to discuss, but consider me interested
that is essentially what happens. your brain compartmentalizes for function in the day to day, psychedelics dissolve what would normally be discrete processes and uses the brain as a whole system.
>>8261858
what a useless load of shit
you didn't say anything here
