is the opposition against GMOs entirely emotional and based on some vague "ethics" ?
i dont see why we should put any restrictions to genetical engineering at all i dont even see why we should not freely apply this form of engineering to better the human genome or create human-animal hybrids
so /sci/ is there any scientific argument against at least some forms of genetical engineering

GMO food is never modified to be more delicious or nutritious.
Instead it is modified to be pest, and pesticide resistant.
It's not about your health, it's about corprate greed.
Also tumors.

What IS the Universe?
>"It's le Universe duh"
>"It's """energy""" and """matter"""
>"It's the set of all sets that are members of themselves"
>"It's """"""""EVERYTHING""""""""""
These are all filler words that describe nothing.
So if you could zoom back and see the whole Universe, what would it be and what is it doing?

Le Universe duh. It's a set of all sets that are members of themselves, including energy and matter; basically EVERYTHING.

ITT: Notations or conventions in math and science that make you REEE. Bonus points if we're too far gone to change it and just have to deal with ut at this point.
I know these things are abritrary and don't affect anything drastically, and I know this is a brainlet tier shitpost, but I'm interested in seeing what you all think of this.
> The charge of an electron being denoted as negative, leading to "positive charge flow" in circuits and other retardation.
> The use of π rather than τ. Seriously, what the fuck is this?
> 99% of the notation in differential geometry. Standardise that shit already.
> Δ as the Laplacian. It already has a meaning that is very likely to show up in the same context of applied mathematics REEEEEEE
That's pretty much it for me. What about you autists?

Probably because you would invest a ton of money to do that and it would decrease the value of gold because you devaluated it by increasing the supply.

But we can turn gold into scrap metal, which is almost as good.

Could anyone tell me if this is the correct formula to compute the complex analytic signal (X) for a real-valued signal (s) using the Hilbert transform?
P.V. indicates that the integral is taken in the sense of the Cauchy principal value.

Look into your heart.

>>8201306
Vibration of what? Love aether? Or particles/waves of love flying through spacetime? Come on, we are not living in teenage sci-fi romance What is horniness then? And other emotions? Why is love so special that it should have these properties?
Love is explainable as the right mix of hormones and neural constellations in your brain, why build such an obscure theory?

Try anti-depressants. You constantly hear sob stories about people who are depressed and how anti-depressants never work but personally, they worked fantastic for me and I recommend anyone to give them a shot. I took Zoloft and it made me the happiest I've ever been in my life while I took it and for a few months after I stopped taking it but like the first anon said, we don't understand the brain well enough and medicine is no where near perfect so you may have to try a few different approaches. Good luck.
My flat mate had a paranoid schizophrenic attack last 10 days ago. We had days of Russians invading, wedding plans, conversations with the tv and hostage takers on the phone.
We finally got him some medicine.
I have been looking for answers for this condition and the outlook does not look good. I however have trouble getting anyone to talk to me directly about what is happening due to patient confidentiality.
I hope my friend gets better and wish to help him however 10 days have gone by and I have started to think off my own concerns.
We share a mortgage, it seems unlikely he will be able to return to work, I also don't want to live in fear of attack for years to come.
I doubt he will agree to sell, so should I stop paying my mortgage, force a repossession and go through bankruptcy.
It seems extreme but I don't know if it is possible to live with my friend anymore.

I don't have access to a helicopter. I was thinking off telling him I saw Russians tampering with food in the supermarket. Hopefully he will get arrested and the hospitalised. It seems the only way to get him help is for him to do something extreme.

It's socially unacceptable to knock on somebody's door in the year 2016.
It seems that everybody is an introvert who has social anxiety these days. Glued to their phone like a zombie. Has modern technology gone too far? How does science fix this?

Of course it is. We're not fucking retards anymore who waste off their short time on this Earth by being hospitable to borderline-uncared-for people at whatever fucking hour they choose to want to have you be hospitable to them, completely disregarding whatever plans you might have.
It's not even a question of us having less free time than people did in the past, nor even of there being more possible """"experiences"""" for us today to partake in.
You just don't fuck with a man's schedule.
