It's like a point particle, but instead of a point it's a 1D string.

Wow your shitty rounding function doesn't even round properly congrats

>>8241722
no rounding function is injective. the "trivial" proposition is a lie

That's truncating, not rounding, you fucking idiot

The only time that i got replied was when i posted that a girl told me to fuck off because my dick is too small.

we can partially erase memories but we can't place them yet. i'm sure we'll get there though

Well you can teach millions of jewish kids that they have met Josef Mengele. It shouldn't be much more effort.

Critical theory is the bane of my fucking existence.

Number one way to ruin a whole field of study. At the very least I wish they wouldn't try to pass it off as scientific or an explanation of any social phenomenon

So-called "personality disorders" are a blatant Foucault-ian attempt to discredit and pathologize alternative opinions that oppose prevailing social norms. According to the DSM, a pattern of behaviors is classified as a personality disorder when it significantly impedes social and/or occupational functioning. But social and/or occupational functioning is a two-way street: you can't function socially without other people. So there's nothing inherently "disordered" about personality disorders-all they indicate is a disconnect between a person's beliefs/actions and prevailing social norms. Don't think the descriptions as symptoms, but rather as an explicit description of the social norms that you might have failed to pick up on and/or conform to.

>So you're saying that people shouldn't take responsibility for their beliefs or actions-everything is society's fault

Not at all. What I'm saying is merely that personalities can only be "disordered" relative to mainstream social norms. It wasn't so long ago that homosexuality was listed in the DSM. Similarly, before the Civil War, a slave who wanted to escape could be diagnosed with a mental disorder called "Drapetomania". There is no question that either of these "disorders" would have caused the afflicted great anguish.

So if your symptoms really are causing you distress, then by all means try to fix them. But if not, then don't be afraid to reject the diagnosis, and don't let anyone gaslight you by trying to convince you that "it's all in your head".

I don't know if having one boy makes it more likely (genetically) to have another one or something like this, but I doubt it.

How does it feel /sci/? Even us autists in 95th percentile for IQ will be obsolete! No only that, but they'll probably be better looking, more athletic, have bigger dicks, and live longer than any of us. We'll have to m'lady our way through life, working dead-end jobs and living under a bus shelter - if we don't kill ourselves.

We'll done, science. Well fucking done.

that's the point.
the world is very idiotic and everything needs to burn to make place for rebuilding a new civilization with different standards.

>implying anyone, let alone /sci/, knows what happens at the point of singularity

>>8241156
It means it's a singularity, and there's nothing you can say, mathematically, about a singularity, save, "Yup, that's a singularity."

There's limits to verbal and mathematical descriptions.

Though you can still say all sorts of things about the consequences of its existence to things around the singularity - including predicting its eventual evaporation.

That one is funny - it's even more funny, that it was proven recently that psilocybin adds neuronal mass to the brain, extensive use would force the monkey to have a bigger - at first useless brain that would in time adapt to become useful.

because the blades of the fan slice the bad air molecules which cleans it up.

something something evaporative cooling something something

it's hot, you sweat, the air takes up the liquid from your skin, it cools you down

it takes energy to convert liquid to gas (heat capacity for phase transition), so when liquid sweat is carried away from you as vapor you're giving up energy and feel cooler.

The fan increases the rate at which sweat is evaporated.

So the air is as hot as before passing through the fan?
