What are you basing that on? Convergent evolution happens here on earth, if other animals existed on another planet and were subjected to the same evolutionary pressures, it's entirely possible would produce similar adaptations.

>>6621311
I'd agree with you that a similar planet may make similar adaptations appear but there wouldn't be any guarantee that the parts would be in the same places.

Like space Mr. Potato Heads.

Bullshit that looks like natural rock cleavage to me.

Have they found any rock chips or fire pits, things that much better indicators of human activity than shapes in rocks?
Otherwise,

There might be dead people, too scarey

>>6623767
All I see here is freshly exposed rock from when parts of it naturally breaks away due to weathering.

And complex pattern? Doesn't everything in nature has a complex pattern.

Wow it looks so small on the picture!

I hate the world, people suck! #groanzone

Then it wouldn't be in an equatorial desert, where solar power is actually practical.

Thanks for the article, but allow me to rephrase. Can someone help me understand from a neurological and psychological perspective how a DMT trip affects a human? In terms of affects on the psyche. Also, it'd be wonderful to hear from /sci/entists who have taken the molecule and their thoughts on the subject.

It's basic physics that it will work, it's just pointlessly inefficient due to the inverse square law. To say nothing of how people would react to the idea of you pumping out gigawatts of radio waces everywhere when they already get buttmad about cellphones , where you'd find the spectrum etc.

>>6592164
Based on Einstein's theory of Relativity, Riemann-Zeta is just a mathematician's approach to approaching the theory of relativity from pi -- a symbol that is broken because it is split in half; the true symbol for this approach is Tau, and the s in the Zeta function is for space-time itself.

Good to know pal. Now fuck off.

People who win memorizing competitions aren't special, they just train really hard.
If you want to improve your memory then you just need to practice.

It's only important to get into the college/university you wish to get in. Everything else is compensative.
Basically, you need to know what degree of succes the University you wish to get in requires of you. Once you get, on most universities you basically start from zero so your previous knowledge doesn't matter.
I went to a language oriented high school and had a TON of luck to get into the top electrical engineering college at my country, and after I got in, I worked my ass off, did pretty good, now I'm up for a masters abroad and everything is actually great.
All that with basically minimum knowledge gained in high school.
so TLDR: It's only mandatory to get where you wish to get, the knowledge is compensatible

4chan massively underrates education. Even /biz/ is full of retards who don't know anything about getting careers.

I'm an engineering major at a university that is ranked between 150 and 200. But because I got very good school and uni grades, I get interviews with investment banks in london for front office roles, various other financial companies including blackrock, Shell, IBM software engineering etc. I went to an open day for a strategy consultancy stuffed with LSE/Oxbridge graduates.

I'm not especially smart. my CV is nothing special.

Now put that in to perspective when you hear dumb plebs tell you that uni isn't worth it. It's because they do shit at it and 20 years ago they never would've went to uni anyway.

Do the plebs who think that uni isn't worth it think I could've got those opportunities by leaving school and going to work at my local supermarket? By working in a trade (FUCKING LOL)? By starting a shitty business?

>viable to a considerable amount of the population

Most people who pass are dumb. Now think how stupid you'll look to employers if you don't pass.

But oh yeah, if you're the next Bill Gates or you're as smart as Einstein, pls disregard my post.

>Or do you still think that how well you do in high-school and what ranking you get determines your University entry

unless there are entry exams it does.

>This "problem" reminds me of a rant with my math teacher, back in school, where she just wouldn't agree that a coin could land on the edge. But this is not the point. You can't apply calculations to a chaotic system and expect predictable results.

What the fuck.

>>6586390
fuck, I was about to post that exact comment.

>>6586390

Is there a single part of this comment that isn't completely wrong? Even the coin falling on the edge thing should actually be impossible unless you basically threw the coin so it had no rotation.
