Informative, should I be taking notes?

It just seems so much more likely that people are remembering incorrectly. Just look at the differences, they're so small. I would give it some credibility if there was a major discrepancy between the realities which can't be explained by you just remembering incorrectly.

We would also have to determine when to meet to discuss I suppose. A thread every Saturday morning perhaps, so Euro anons can just check the catalog? Obviously cost wouldn't be an issue thanks to lib gen. Whatever we read would obviously be reached via consensus in the thread.

Like basic geometry or like Toric Varieties.

I'm down.

That's just a dot, you silly.

Yes and more.

You can have infinite dimensions if you like.

>>9084196
doesn't a new physical dimension have to be based on some varying factor? there's no point in there being more dimensions just because muh math

I don't like DUCKS, because DUCKS are for faggots.

Where I come from duck is actually a word we use against homosexuals. It is a derogatory term for gays like nigger is for blacks.

>>9084001
Ducks are alright as waterfowl go. Its the fucking geese that are the real bastards.

ship of theseus.
you are the original human with replaced parts.
if you assembled the original pieces then you get a different copy of you made of the original parts.

as long as maintains its processes while getting replacement parts, its the same thing.

faggot

This is just the Ship of Theseus problem.

What's funny is that this already happens to you with living cells. Every single cell in your body is replaced with a different one every 7 years or so, so you're not even the same person you were 7 years ago.


Anyway here are some proposed solutions.

We'll be fine. Money as basically an abstraction at this point, especially USD.

Einstein? Who is that again? His phenotype looks rather . . . unimpressive.

To reach the point of human intelligence takes hundreds of millions of years of evolution. Which means countless feeling organisms die horribly. And human intelligence is likely a rare thing that happened due to very specific cicrumstances. Most life is dumb and survives just fine, intelligence isn't needed.

>>9082689
>Why are scientists so hopeful of finding life in the universe? Especially intelligent life.
Probability favors it's existence but probably not it's discovery.

>Do they not realize that life leads to immense suffering?
Then kys and save yourself the pain

>>9082689
We need someone to share our suffering with.

Aliens are definitely fucking out there, if you don't believe there is life somewhere away from Earth then it is safe to conclude that you are skeptic for the sake of being edgy and are refusing to educate yourself on concepts that you cannot understand.

Saying that alien life has visited Earth, and hell even groomed our civilisations or that we will have some sort of "Contact Doomsday" scenario is pretty retarded. I'd even go as far to say hat believing in Drake's equation that supposedly proves that there are at least 50 sentient alien races that communicate with each other is a bit on the retarded "I want to believe" side without any further evidence (even if it is true). For fuck's sake, it isn't even too stupid to say, "Aliens are out there, but we're the smartest/none of them are sentient," due to the Fermi paradox.

Here's a thought: Our radio signals.
Humanity's radio signals reach out about 100 light years (definitely a little less, but the exact number fails to come to mind) and we've always said that that's too short for an alien to pick up on us due to the proximity of other stars.

But how come we can't hear the radio signals of old advanced alien civilisations? Maybe ours only go out about 100 light years because they've only been around for that long, but if there is an alien race with the equipment where jumping from star to star doesn't take thousands of years and isn't impractical, they've likely been around for a very long time. Thus, we should be able to constantly pick up on their thousands of years old radio chatter from before they ever even took to space. Issue is, we don't. Why not?

>>9082023
We don't know the conditions or range of abiogenesis and we have no evidence that any instance of it exists outside of our own.

For now, the answer is "unknown", with no valid indicators for or against. Resolutely believing they do not exist and resolutely believing that they do, are equally retarded and unscientific.

Playing, fuck my hands are not steady right now...

Steins;Gate is one of my favorite anime of all time OP. Watched that shit as it aired.

I don't know how much this will help, but I'm kind of in the same boat as you. Except there's a real girl involved. Basically I formed an extremely close relationship with my friend's sister over several months and ended up falling in love. When it came apparent that it wouldn't work out and she found someone else, I tried to avoid her until she came to a party I was at. Once I made it clear how I actually felt, she got upset herself and broke down crying. We met up last month to discuss things, but I couldn't get a clear answer about how she felt. Then at the end of the night, my sadness hit me like a truck and after embracing her for a bit, I moved in for a kiss without realizing it, pulled away. And then ran aimlessly in the pouring rain for an hour.

The only solution I could think of after that was to just tell her we should hold off for a month before talking and holy fuck I have never felt emptier in my life. She was one of the few people in my life that ever made me feel that someone else was there, and I fucking ruined it.

So, to address your feelings. There is no ideal partner. There's girls you groove with and girls you don't. Once you find a girl you like, ask her to hang out. If you two groove together it will just naturally progress. The point of Steins;Gate, especially the ending, is that the idea of a set destiny is bullshit and that with enough determination and hard work, you can cheat destiny.

Thanks for sharing tour story...
I hope it goes well for you.

But right now my depression is crippling me...
I cant wait to see if I find someone, specially since I avoid people like the plague...

>implying there's credence to any scientific claims about the afterlife or the soul

Stop being a fucking empiricist and start being a rationalist; you'll feel better.

Science is only hell-bent on finding out the truth, no matter how much is hurts. If you'd rather live in illusion, lies and denial, turn to religion.

>>Feelings are nothing but chemicals
You might as well say "The Mona Lisa is nothing but a painting", or "filet mignon is nothing but food" or "the ISS nothing but a box".
Look up protein folding.
You really shouldn't trivialize stuff, Opie, but dismissing something because it's "just chemicals" is the height of retardation.
You'll fly too close to the sun of full-retard and the wax will melt and you'll fall to your demise.
