nice maymay image friend!!!

You're just asking how to memorize better right? If you're mixing stuff up it means you're either cramming too fast or you're simply unfocused when studying (or you don't revise often enough).

Pretty much this

You have to use mnemonics and come up with stories relating to the drugs, at first. After a few times (3-4 days) of doing that- you should remember it without the story ect.

It's only illogical if you assume it had to be created. There's no restriction on causality pre big bang.

>no such thing as causality
>"*"*"*pre-big bang*"*"*"
If there is no such thing as causality before the big bang, then how can it be "pre"? In order for it to come "before" the big bang, a causal framework must already be in place.
Causality is literally just change, nothing more, nothing less. Without causality, things can't "happen", because the notion of time is meaningless. Ergo, the big bang could not have "happened", much less at a specific point in "time", without causality.
I know I sound like I'm spewing philosophical pseudoscientific bullshit, but that's only because of the esoteric scenario we're discussing.

It depends on context.
If it's coming from your professor or some such, he's being a cunt.
If it's coming from one of your peers, he's being a tryhard.

Okay, long as it ain't just me that thinks it's ridiculous

It's not real math if you don't show every step.

>>9112580
Whatr we talking here? Did you miss out on highschool?

>>9112580

I learned an entire year's worth of high school math in three months years ago, when I attended summer school (I did it to skip myself ahead). So yeah you'd be cutting it close, but it should theoretically be possible. Be warned though, your retention might not be as good later on, because you've spent less time with the material.

>>9112594
I was never good at math so instead of working harder I always avoided it and half assed it through tests.
Now I want to binge it all to maybe pick a STEM career since I am not sociable enough to make it as lawyer or teacher or go through the liberal arts.
In my third world country if you don't have a degree you can't expect more than the minimun wage which only is 375 american dollars a month.
I know it's fucking stupid but this is the only solution I could find.

>mfw face when I am an autistic and no friends and lonely all the time

this is a meme, in real life IQ is still more important.

remember: most people hate IQ and always try to discredit it. IQ has been studied for a long time and it's importance is still scientific consensus. Most people trying to discredit IQ generally produce bad academic stuff that is blown by the media.

it depends

social corralling can get you very far. At the end of the day though, we need true experts, so there will always be a place for truly smart people

stop shilling your blog dumb f*turist

Thanks newfag, you're killing /sci/.

Finished pharmacy. Too many historical blabering about drugs used like 20 years ago. Not so many mechanisms of action explained fully. Still I think it's worth it because I can easier see through all the scam medicines and can cure myself and my family better.

Ask me Anything

>>9112951
Are memory pills obvious scams? so are anti-depressants that damage you for life?

>>9112979
Sometimes being damaged for life is better than succumbing to untreated mental problems. Some psychiatrists I've spoken to are pretty realistic about that.

Fuck you. I didn't choose to be forced on this shit when I was 6 years old and doomed to life long chemical dependance, due to misdiagnosed Aspergers.
I'm just not nearly as practiced in mathematical reasoning, as I am verbally.
I have to arbitrarily synthesize formal language into natural language to understand, after that I'm golden.

Stop with the racism kid

>>9112083
Not being racist. I used the pic of the chimp cause it is related to animal science

>>9112088

That's pretty fucking racist anon.

I always thought that medicine was a part of science in general.

Yes, there are physician-scientists as well as a lot of physicians who are about as scientific as a trade. It varies.

>>9112028
yes medicine is a part of STEM. But it's not discussed often here because most of it is just rote learning and memorisation. Compared to other STEM topics like physics or math, the topics are really boring and doesn't really activate the neurons.

>>9112022
Those seem like pretty basic ideas friendo. This is definitely /his/ rather than /sci/ though. Those kids have seen the matrix and shit like that, the ideas are already in society and the media they consume.

>>9112046
If they're so basic why did it take genius intellect for them to be formulated at first? For kids to intuitively grasp what for thousands of years was simply unknown, that's quite a feat. That's the point I'm trying to make, just with different words.

Maybe you're right. The ideas, being discovered, have their toll on society, which makes it possible for others to intuitively understand them. Just as how you don't need to be Einstein to think like Einstein.

This thread belongs here because it's of scientific nature. I'm asking about a natural phenomenon, an observation, rather than debating the aforementioned philosophies.

>>9112022
Wow it's almost like popular philosophical concepts influence people through pop culture

Chess is pretty much just logic and pattern recognition like an IQ test. So yes.

No, Go is the far superior strategy game

>>9111954
No, Shogi is the superior strategy game.

There is no going back.
You might delay it, maybe halt it.
But there is no reverse.

Also yeah, less T = less alpha

>>9111933
Well I'd rather it start in my mid- late 30's when ~50% of men are affected by it than in my 20's.
