I can confirm all this, I don't have much time but this is proof of it all, if you see him do not trust the man in the yellow box, this is also the last known image of him. I'm not sure he's even real in the sense we understand it

>Computers are proof we live in a simulation
Just because we can make attempts to simulate reality doesn't mean reality is a simulation.

You're so fucking retarded it really bothers me thinking there is a chance you're not trolling and actually being serious. Go read a fucking book.

>Just because we can make attempts to simulate reality doesn't mean reality is a simulation.

This is a straw man, if you actually able to read, you would see that my argument is that the fact that the way people treat computers is analogous to the real world and the simulated reality.

Also, let's take this person's comment as a matter of scientific interest. If we were living in a simulation, wouldn't there be people in that simulation trying to convince us otherwise?

Is this experiment and all the evidence for it really ignored? I I guess nobody here cares or knows. Kind of depressing.

>>9072529
Such a thing as the "noosphere" undoubtedly exists. My hypothesis is that the randomness comes from people not caring and they are forced to when major events occur. I suspect it is all related to prime numbers somehow.

>>9075241
To add to this, see my post here >>9072533

My idea is that the world as we know it is some kind of game whereby people pretend to be gods in some way. God made science in his image, so QM in our reality would be something that people made in there own image. Particles act "randomly" in this scale because people are content to just bounce around randomly (morally speaking) without regard for what is right. Randomly would really mean "according to some meaningless cyclical pattern" - space-time in our reality has both an imaginary and a real component. When highly emotive things happen time shifts phase from imaginary to real just causing some pattern to appear out of the randomness.

Federico?

>>9071837
it's not. if people saw different colors differently, contrast of light wouldn't be the same between all people, but it is.

>>9071837
because reality exists

what's more interesting is how the same stimulus can evoke different emotional responses from people, leading to different neurons firing and whatnot. I dont know why i find that weird

>artificial wombs
>abortion
What is the connection here? I don't see it. Unless they're gonna pull the "how can she demand an abortion if the babby is formed in an external womb" argument, which has the implication that by the same standard, men should be able to demand abortions be carried out when babby is formed inside the woman.

Well, if this tech does progress and doesn't get legislated away we might see some really interesting effects on society.

its going to sound obvious but better education for the public is really the only answer. America has really slipped in the global rankings in the last 40 years and you can tell by the general stupidity of the American population. What we teach kids in school should be based on facts, not political/religious ideologies.

>>9071069

i think the best way to understand why is to read about what happens if you dont sleep. Look up FFI, fatal familial insomnia

even adjusting for a specific race, the rates only get worse. What is so different about say Utah, California or Colorado in comparison to Massachusetts or New Jersey?

They have comparable rates of obesity, comparable rates of smoking.

Utah has a lot of mormons, and I presume they don't drink or smoke, and they like hiking and stuff, so their low rates make sense JUST based on that, so why isn't that the case for these other parts of the country that have similar low smoking and low overweight/obesity rates?

Is it the colder weather in New England? Is it something to do with altitude and natural cosmic radiation? Are these areas more industrialized with more pollutants? Does everyone in New England binge drink alcohol or what? Is it all of those Irish and British ancestries causing these high rates for some reason?

>>9070923

My first guess would be pollution. The west is so huge, plus all the fresh air from the pacific. Think about it, the East gets the most concentrated portions of pollution from the rest of North America.

Again, this is my guess without knowing anything about jet streams and such. Doesn't explain Kentucky though...

>>9070953
You might be on something.

Its not only about local air polution, but air streams. I live in area (moutanin valley) that gets huge influx of polution from whole Europe.

Also what about population density in diffrent areas, its obvious that states with more population living in large cities will be less healthy.

W would like to reaserch the methods of rewriting the human genetic code without harming the subject. Ultimately stoping death and aging, and tuning humans into godlike creatures.

But then you'd have a steady decline of population through non-natural causes of death.
You'd kill mankind with stairwell tripping and casual accidents, one at a time

Immortality is hardly "godlike", but I'll admit it gives quite some time to try and become one. Unless the immortal subjects lose an era or two playing videogames and indulging in various risky hedonistic activities, that is.

You should try Peter Turchin instead, he makes sure his hypothesis can be proven wrong, this one can't

Hard times create "strong men" in the context of "surviving hard times", not creating good times. Being good at survival does not equate to being good at governance. Revolutionaries who wrest control of a country from corrupt plutocrats don't necessarily bring everyone out of the dumps. As P.J. O'Rourke said, it's one thing to burn down the shit house and another thing entirely to install plumbing.

Hard times create a memory of recent mistakes that people go out of their way to avoid. Depression-era parents and grandparents hoard, as do many immigrants from poor countries. This bias of "live preparing for tomorrow" leads to its own set of mistakes in a time of peace, such as low investor confidence and a stagnation of higher education due to unwillingness to go into debt.

wrong. no proof. it's just wrong, inherently, to tell people who they can and cannot breed with. my proof is simple, "would you want to be told you cannot breed"?

Maybe, that's why applied math exists.
Do you happen to be a Pure Math major?

Also if you did some geometry puzzles, not everyone has good spatial intelligence OP, I'm a living proof.

>>9058379
Nah it wasn't geometry puzzles, just logical brain teasers and such. You know the type, the dragonfly, the 100 windows, etc. (none of these obviously, these are well known). Actually I'm not as good at spacial reasoning (and my IQ scores seem to confirm it)
I'm a maths student, at the shittiest university there is. (attitude problems got me expelled from everywhere else)
Yet this guy who evidently has average intuition somehow got into one of the best school in the world. I'm bitter as fuck m8.

>Yet this guy who evidently has average intuition somehow got into one of the best school in the world.
He most likely has acquaintances that helped him to get into that uni or rich dad.

Most prestigious places are actually populated by average richfags, it is rare to see an actual smart guy on a prestigious uni these days, especially in the U.S. where saying #BlackLivesMatter a hundred times gets you to Stanford.

Can't be helped, but

And why didn't you solved this problem? Were you in a good uni before?
You know that schools can contact each other about you and never admit you, right?
