Yeah. wtf.

>>8103223
How little they are paid should make it clear that they are really not that important at all.

This is exactly the issue, most postdocs are working on some weird extremely specific research project that has a few applications in its field and will have no meaningful impact on anyone's lives outside of academia. The vast majority of academic research is like this, and most of the research with actual real-world applications involves some level of equipment and is done by experienced professors or researchers getting substantial compensation. The postdocs and recent PhDs getting paid shit are typically not working on this kind of stuff, they're working on their interests at universities.

And you seem to be very confused about the source of technological innovation. Most new technology is developed by engineers and researchers working in R&D at tech companies or industrial corporations. Postdocs aren't usually developing new technology, they're writing papers about discoveries that only very rarely have applications in actual technological innovations. And once again, engineers and researchers at tech companies get paid plenty of money.

desu senpai, if given the chance. i would choose to be a hot bimbo than a smart dude

There is no next level, only change. If we do become type 2/3 it ain't gonna look human. If civilization collapses, perhaps we'll return to our roots as four-legged simpletons swinging in trees.

Dude it already happened, the first evolved baby was born:

in my case lack of sleep causes it
think different people have different triggers
my theory is everyone has a down mode but some people manage to avoid triggering it

nothing to do with 'chemical balance in the brain' or any of that junk

>Any personal experiences with it?

Yep. I've been depressed for about a decade, I started exercising and going to the gym about a year ago and I honestly can't remember feeling better. Since then I've been wondering if there's some link between the increasingly sedentary lifestyles of people and the raise in the prevalence of depression.

A natural response to the inhuman capitalistic system that we live in

have you tried induction?

Posting such a shitty meme tier list means you will not succeed into anything you go, so this thread is pointless.

>>8106368
the one that you're interested in

move to a first world country and get a doctor

Do you have a fever? You might have meningitis. I got bird flu and then got it this year, thought I was going insane.

Just try to excersize, eat right, and get some anti-biotics. The hallucinations will stop once the fever starts going down.

You can get fish anti-biotics from the pet store btw, it's the same shit. Just google the dosage. Take them for 2 months.

>solid panels on venus
What would be the point of that lol

A rigid is probably the way to go, not this suspended balloon.

>>8107178
Solar intensity is more than twice that of Earth, plus the clouds are so shiny that you can put solar panels facing down too.

This thread is not about colonizing venus, it's about dying on venus.

you would fall quite a bit slower than on Earth, and the space suit would protect you from heat, but the landing would be too powerful to survive.

>>8104704
Because the soviets made an effort to land probes on venus after accidentally doing it once, while NASA made an effort to land literally everywhere else

the most reasonable answer would be costs: the Venera landers only survived a very brief time on the surface to send back a few pictures. The hazardous pressure down there is probably going to brake today's equipment as well. So the costs do not justify the means. Also, Mars is much more interesting from a long-term perspective. What are we going to do with Venus? Attempt to land Mark Whatey there?

But I agree that this one pic we have from Venus is making me quite emotional. In my view, having been to Venus and having actual surface footage tops anything on Mars today. But perhaps that's just my feelings for Venus.

Weak Western robots are too homosexual to land on Venus

To my knowledge, this is exactly what happens and results in a wake of turbulence and vortices. Can't remember where I saw it, but there was a nice .gif showing the molecules of air flowing along an airfoil and demonstrating that the air on top does indeed reach the trailing edge before the air on the bottom.

>if you combine the two-element set {1,2} with the two-element set {2,3} you get the three-element set {1,2,3}
Set theory is categorically retarded.

>>8106186
You can see it anohter way, instead of elements look at what the sets they contain.

Any set contains the empty set and itself.

Therefore, the empty set contains the empty set and the empty set. So it only has one part, the empty set.

Now the set {empty set} will contain the empty set, and the set that contains the empty set.

Basically, the parts of {empty set} are empty set and {empty set}, those are two parts.

And that makes sense when you think about it.

So a man with a container that only contains another empty container is better off than the man who only has an empty container.

Well, prove that it isn't.

Show that if you assume 0.9999... = 1 then that leads to a contradiction somewhere.

pro tip: Make sure your argument does not have contradictions itself.

>>8109440
>hurr you have to prove a negative so that I dont have to prove a positive durrrr
Fuck you. You support the claim, burden of proof is on you.

>>8109446
>burden of proof is on you.

It used to be. Then people came up with a billion proofs for the proposition.

Now that we have a proof that works, the burden of proof is on you as you are now trying to dismiss a well established claim.

Faggot.

Go ahead, this should be easy. Just type up one single number that is between 0.999... and 1.

If there is even one then that would immediately imply that 0.999... is not 1 so go on.

Type it up faggot.

Believe me, we'd fucking love to.

Why don't you? I don't think I belong here...realistically, I have literally nothing holding me back in life.

>>8108502
Part of it is the fact that I reflexively start shitposting on 4chan whenever I feel stressed or frustrated, and part of it is the fact that this idiotic website provides me with a sense of meaning and belonging I can't find in the real world.

You can only do so much with safe chemical engines.

what happens today?
I heard something about a lightsail some days ago, but dont know if this is it.

>>8099228
it's about the same with planes as well since 1962 breh
