Can you stop memeing?
Here's my opinion.
Humanity is no longer subject to natural selection and therefore species is not going to change.
Sure you might get surface variations, and cultural changes.. Muslims flood into Europe rape the shit out of everyone and the recessive gene for blonde hair disappears from the population.
But the species isn't gong to change all that much.
Consider this:
Eskimos adapted to the Artic by learning how to make Parkas and Igloos. There was no natural selection for them to grow fur because of the human ability to make tools
Take away the parkas and the igloos and the Eskimo freezes to death just the same as a Pacific islander would.
And because of sexual selection, even if a successful useful mutation happened it wouldn't get passed on.
Like:
>An Eskimo is born with blubber and fur, so he can swim in the icy ocean and walk around naked in the snow for hours.
But he is also a repugnant freak that no woman will touch and is driven away from the village. No children for the next step in Eskimo evolution so it's a genetic dead end.
Eskimos transcended environmental pressure as natural selection and they did it without a written language or metal tools.
Am I wrong here? Will we become a new species?
Evolution never ends.
We are more likely to see the evolution of our species, simply because we are more likely to live now than we were in the past.
In the past, if you had a genetic disadvantage, you were much more likely to die than others. If you had a genetic advantage, you were much more likely to survive than others.
Because of this, people with genetic disadvantages died quickly and people who were neutral died more quickly once those with genetic advantages were significant in number.
Nowadays, even if you have a fairly severe genetic disadvantage, you are still likely to survive, simply because of our medicinal system.
Because people from all spectrums are more likely to survive, then we will become aware of genetic differences between one-another more quickly, simply because only a fewer of them will be eradicated than in the past.

Sorry, I meant "simply because fewer of them will be eradicated than in the past".

>Humanity is no longer subject to natural selection
Kek, we're just more subject to our own selection actually since we shape our environments so much.
You have been kidnapped and are being held hostage by a man. He tells you that he is going to go out on the street and asks the first person he meets a question of your choosing. If the person answers correctly you will be freed and taken care of financially for the rest of your life. If they answer incorrectly you will be killed. The question must have a clear and objectively correct answer. What question do you ask?

Is this a question?
The Russians are going to land a rover on Venus launched in 2025. It can drive for up to an hour as opposed to the last ones in the 60's that imploded after a few minutes. We are finally going to have HD panoramic pictures of the surface of Venus.

Do you think that there was ever intelligent life on Venus? What if we find ruins of an ancient city?
Slightly less tinfoil do you believe that there's life in the clouds? The conditions there are near identical to Earth.

Venus is a pretty hostile environment, and it's unlikely that life, even bacteria would be able to survive there long enough to make their mark. Pics are from the Soviet's Venus probe.
I need some physics and chemistry e.c.t. jokes tell me your crème de la crème of jokes
>>7869765
What did the bartender tell to the neutron?
>>7869765
If I wanted a joke I'd ask for your GPA
Which math proof method is the most effective? Writing out givens, prove, as well as statements and reasons for each step (like in pic related)? Is there a more effective method? Which one is widely considered to be the most effective?
>>7869216
There is no general purpose proof method
>>7869218
Yes there is. Sit there banging your head against the problem for hours, days, or weeks until you come up with a proof.
Are there any books or research done about how various people are differently inclined towards being interested in and being able to understand maths?
I want to study STEM but maths has never been intuitive for me. I am the opposite of an analytical detail focused pedant, the type that seems to dominate maths. I am not a stupid person per se and I've been somewhat equal in intelligence with this one friend of mine, but for example that one time we were doing maths homework, he was miles ahead in how easily he was able to grasp various concepts in maths. And no, it's not because he studied more. He didn't.
I'm miles ahead of others but the distance seems to be muddied in maths.
I beat him in strategy games though. All of them. Implying again, that it's not so much that I'm just plain dumber, but that my brain simply functions differently.
Is there anyone with similar experience? Anyone who managed graduating a STEM field despite seemingly not being inclined towards it?
I'm the stereotypically art inclined person and I fucking hate it. It's obvious that it'd take me extra time to study maths so there's that. There's also the fact that I fear I'll be hopelessly left behind by others in any STEM field, looking like a fucking retard and failing everything.
Pic kinda related but ik the literal interpretation of brain sides has been debunked. Though the types seem to be very much real.
pls
you sound like you're a teenager and really want to keep seeing yourself as being smart. you should probably accept that you aren't that smart ("strategy" games mean pretty much nothing) or even better, go up an order of acceptance and just not care

How about you answer the questions that were actually asked instead of playing Freud with me, huh?
Why did humans lose their fur?
aquatic apes, duh
im still hairy as fuck...?
Found this:
>Why humans lost their body hair: to stop their brains from overheating as we evolved. The need to keep a cool head is why man became a naked ape according to scientists who believe they can finally explain why humans are the only primate to lose their body fur.
Not sure about that.
Why are women never geniuses are even autistic savants?
>>7867437
1. men have a wider range of IQ distribution
2. even if you did have a female genius, she might not care about science or she might get pregnant
>>7867437
Autism is a male thing, cf. Baron Cohen. That isn't to say that there aren't autistic women Temple Grandin is an example. There's probably also an element of under diagnosis, although I'm not sure as to the prevalence of that.
>>7867437
Because they are too busy being sluts.
Is virginity beneficient to mathematical/scientific work?
He could've spent a partial moment of his life making a baby then having that baby raised to continue his legacy. The question is whether raising the baby is worth the risk.
No.
Yes.
Fucking/Masturbating chemically kills your drive(desensitizes dopamine receptors, then reduces dopamine with prolactin. Prolactin is the male orgasm chem). So when you are not wasting time with porn and pussy, you are unmotivated for anything else.
There is more: the male libido comes from Estradiol, which is made from Testosterone. Estradiol is an estrogen, and it's constant presence in the blood effeminates the brain in the long term, and increases aggressiveness in the short-term. "Without libido, women quickly become awkward beings in the eyes of a male".
These are the main two. A minor one I haven't get into depth is that you lose a considerable amount of minerals in ejaculation(mainly zinc). I think it is fair to say that if you lost the same volume in blood, you wouldn't doubt it was a bad thing. And it is fair to say your body produces more easily blood than semen, so semen is even more precious.
These are the biological facts on this, I will come later with Macro/Societal ones in a minute.
whats your fav formula/thing in math?
i think my fav gotta be just the circle
[math]x^{2} + y^{2} = r^{2}[/math]
it's just so neat and explaining it is great
first time trying latex might fuck up
My absolute favorite algebraic construct is the set of anticommutative operators acting on orthonormal Barnett spaces.
that no one can figure out if there are any odd perfect numbers
a perfect number being one equal to the sum of its proper divisors
e.g. 6 because 6=1+2+3 but not 8 because 8 =! 1+2+4
>>7866605
r=c
θ∈[0,2π)
>4th dimension is time
>4th dimension cube is actually spatial
So which one is it?
>i don't know what a dimension is
>>7865813
There are only spatial dimensions.
Time is only an illusion you retard, lrn2physics
>>7865818
>i have no clue what a dimension is
Does /sci/ agree that attending university lectures are a waste of time ?
Material is covered far too slowly, professors aren't trained in teaching, waste of energy forcing yourself into a normal sleep schedule when your productive hours are from 10AM to 3PM.
Is there any reason...
>>7865495
You're right, I never go to lectures and I get great grades.
What else is there to college anyway? I can have a social life outside of class.
Textbooks can sometimes misguide you so it really clears up many doubts. Also, if the professor is really good he could make it worth it. Exams can also cover shit not in the program if the professor decides it. Emm and well, textbooks can be pretty difficult to maintain focus on even if the subject is interesting.
>>7865514
Ssh I'm trying to get this idiot to pass up all the great opportunities that going to class and talking to professors make available.
