can we engineer a Kong sized gorilla?

It's certainly possible. There were bipedal dinosaurs 13 meters tall, and King Kong is 13 meters tall. So the Squared Cube Law wouldn't really be a problem.

The body shape of King Kong wouldn't be optimal for that size, though, probably. I really doubt it would be able to climb anything.

Does poor dental hygiene cause cancer via the inflammation from the bacteria in your mouth and that you're swallowing?

I'm a NEET that sometimes goes a while without brushing and I read something about this one time somewhere but I think the study was bad or something.

Who is this beautiful, big-brained Ashkenazi family?

That gentleman in the middle looks like a wonderful garment worker from the Old Country who hobnobbed his way into a Princeton tenure position perhaps? And those gorgeous, Yahweh-beloved granddaughters look like exquisite TV producers in the making.

Ah, the scions of David are such noble creatures!

Anon they're gypsies with predominant white genes. And sadly just like northern-mongol russians they have the anger and power thirst traits from their more unevolved genes.
The intelligence of a homo sapiens with the degeneracy and blood thirst of a homo erectus. These people should not have power and should be limited in various way to stop letting them watch the world burn.

He is literally smarter than anyone on this board & goes to a better school than anyone here.. He is literally a genius and smarter than any pure math major here. Would it be a waste if this genius doesn't major in STEM? He has been proven to be smarter than Tao. He could be the next Grothendieck? Should he not waste his talents and study Symplectic Geometry? His brain is rare.

I once heard a PhD say that for every 1 genius American, there are 4 genius Indians/Chinese/etc.

I used to not want to go into math because the thought of prodigies made me horribly depressed.

Maybe one day

And still there are less than 1/10^6 geniuses. (1 a million seems fair)

The point is there's a lot of jobs, and if all of them were given to "geniuses" and the "geniuses" wouldn't be lazy or anything, there still would be a >LOT of stem jobs to go around

Simple intelligent theory for death and resurrection.

Let's say 1000 foetuses were born in that month. You have 1/1000 chance to be born as one of those children. Now all of you lived, for the better or for the worse.
You can be aware/conscious of 1 of these many lives till they die. Some of them aren't even human.
Somebody will have to fill in the spot for your brothers/sisters and they will have the same brain regardless of your consciousness. Your brain dictates how you think.

Consciousness is life. Sadly consciousness isn't something that can overlap, you have 1 life and then move on to the next attempt at life.
I don't have any explanation for souls/consciousnesses on stand-by waiting for new life and even if there were then you wouldn't be aware you're dead so it wouldn't matter for you.

Sadly if you go with my theory then you'll most likely have a high chance of reviving as a chinese man, a middle eastern, mexican or african, because they replicate the most and the most frequently.

You could attempt to time your death with the amount of babies born in britain, america, ireland at that month. So if you time your death exactly with a feotus' inception then you might have a chance at "reviving" as that new person.

I don't believe in death in a traditional sense. Because there are a huge ton lives being born constantly on this planet alone. The problem is that there's no possible of tracking your consciousness and the many lives it lived. There's no sure way of tracking your past lives and who you're going to be next, so you cannot save your memory and learn your history.

since the population is increasing there'd have to be more conscious entities waiting than the number currently alive

There is no single "your consciousness", that's just an illusion.

Grading is the most tedious shit.

Except if you are doing it in groups. Then it's hilarious to share the banalities that get written down

t. T.A.
>>
Professors do that because they know most students are lazy and don't do the problem sets in full. Grading it that way makes is so that the professor can choose to grade all of the questions he knows people won't do because it takes time, is harder, etc. Chances are they will post up the solutions to all of the questions anyways, so theres no need to be upset. Also, you can always go to their office to ask if you did the problem correctly.

It's not so much that I'm worried about getting things wrong, since I usually just look up the answer afterwards to check my works, it's more the fact that I spent 3 to 6 hours working everything out, and double checking my work, only for them to spend 10 minutes spot checking it.

H-how is this possible, I studied throughout the term, I studied much longer than him (10 hours average a day when lecturers were over)

And we got the same grade, I have no ill will towards him, I'm more angry at myself. I'm actually a retard.

So /r9k/ when did you realise you're stupid?

You're literally retarded if you did that and got anything wrong. Your friend is also better at studying than you, probably because they prioritise the most useful exercises and past exam papers.

Obviously not 10 hours of pure studying, We studied together, for a lot of it. I know I'm stupid why do you think I made this fucking thread.

>One story has it that Grothendieck is now convinced that the Devil is working to falsify the speed of light. Schneps ascribes his concerns with the speed of light to his anxiety about the methodological compromises physicists make. He talks constantly, however, about the Devil, semi-metaphorically, sitting behind good people and nudging them in the direction of compromise, of the fudge, of the move towards corruption. ‘Uncompromising’ is the expression Schneps favours.

>In his correspondence with Leila Schneps, he told her he would be willing to share his research into physics with her if she could answer one question: ‘What is a metre?’

What is scientific reason in nature for creating ugly males?

One would think that nature could figure out after severa lkk years that ugly males are unwanted, yet somehow new ugly males are created.

Is nature dumb? If nature can not handle male creating then why do you expect to handle methane created by cow farts?

Natural Selection is like the Free Market.

It's the dumbest, least efficient, "constantly bumping into dead-ends and falling off cliffs" way of making progress.

There is no reason for ugly males. It's just that the process of natural selection is just trial and error and it has really no awareness of how fucking retarded some "trials" are.

>>9015123
Some things about attrctiveness are evolutionary, nobody wants their potential children to be constantly sickly or have genetic diseases, but others are entirely socially derived. Being fat used to be a sign of affluence, shit like that. So evolution isn't going to progress towards the most attractive human being becuse what that is changes from generation to generation.

Also its just good to keep around a wide variety of phenotypes.
