Looks kinda like a very young midshipman. They're very cool looking - steampunk.

Looks like a goby your waters are threatened by an envasive species.

Looks like a brown recluse

science doesn't dismiss anything you dumb cunt. Use proper methodology and write a paper about it, if it's flawed it will be destroyed by review.

>>9079387
the academia elite dismiss all studies on the topic as pseudoscience, independant of the rigour of the study.

So, a paper about the psychology of imagination.

The 2013 Superman movie Man of Steel opens with kryptonians blowing up their planet because they were greedy and drilled their planet's own core for minerals.

He will keep you in a jar. You will be so happy.

You're really in a laundry room. The clues we gave to you!

IQ has more to do with wealth/quality of life than DNA. If AI can bring about post-scarcity then the average human IQ will go up and the AI will render themselves obsolete. I sure hope they aren't reading this.

Why does it have to be genetically engineered when it occurs naturally? We merely have to teach girls to select for the correct phenotype.

IQ correlates with wealth and quality of life, because it is causal. The idea that environment plays a majority role in intelligence is pushed by political ideologues in academia (psychology, sociology, and anthropology being the biggest offenders).

Here is a Google Talk by Steve Hsu on this topic. I can give you academic citations if you wish

Teach girls to have kids with the nerds instead of dumb hot guys? That's going against 250,000 years of human evolution, at least. I wish it were possible.

Genetic engineering, in the case laid out in this podcast, would be removal-of-errors only. Nothing like adding in strange mutations. The goal is to reduce "genetic load" - errors which theoretically cause the majority of IQ variation

I'm an amateur but I read some books on fluid dynamics and origin of turbulence or vortices are a huge topic in all of them; also electromagnetic fields are best described by a toroidal shape.

very interesting video indeed, thanks. I thought the turks don't believe in mathematics :^)

want to get you mind blown, check this out:

if the upsurge in Vinyl Records tells us anything, the big trend to come will be a full return to analogue in search for authenticity. look forward to rotatory phones / land lines, mechanical watches, typewriters, CRT TVs with bunny ears, and so on.

vinyl revenue overall is still minimal

No. We need chumps to fund colleges with tuition and stay out of the job market once they graduate. Leave the decision making to me.

>>9079001
If everything is just interpretations of the same math, how on eartg dp physicists even discuss which one is right?

>>9079001
The only 'evidence' for it is that physics hasn't use probability to determine outcomes before. All experiments have suggested that there is a measureable probability for outcomes, with no evidence for the hidden properties.

>>9079001
I suspect that the randomness in QM is a kind of forced randomness.

Pretty neat, layers somewhat on Big Five which is more commonly accepted by contemporary Psychology

>>9078934
My opinion is that this is a science board which means that everything that's not founded on logical empiricism does not belong here.

>>9078934
There's definitely something to it and it's easy to type people using it so I find it useful.

Brain was too big for her tight Ashkenazi pussy, so probably.

he was a good researcher and is now a good adviser.

Hinton is as legit as they come. Was laughed at for decades in the research community as the crazy neural net guy, and after all these years he was finally proven right all along.

>>9078871
I like it when this is included at the end of a paper. It means I don't have to email the author to ask about follow-up studies. Plus it sounds nice when you can't draw any conclusions.

>>9078886
its kind of like saying, please don't kill me for shitting on your world view.

>>9079553
Not sure, I think it's more along the lines of "please don't kill me for wasting thousands of grant monies on a dead-end project."
