Are we doomed to fail /sci/? All our technological progress is pushed forward by the desire to make money. We are giving more advanced technology to retards (normies). We value technology by its value in money. There's at least 5 billion worms out there, all equipped with devices that posses insane computational power. And they take selfies with it. Only a small fraction of our civilization pushes technology/science forward to find out how deep the rabbit hole goes. The other 95% is focused on making money by using technology. A nigger can only send snapchats/browse facebook/instagram. But with that same phone a normal high IQ person can do at least 50x more using the same device(or even worse device).


I look at youtube videos of phone comparisons, and they have no clue, the most popular people with over 1million views per video are barely able to use the phone. Its like someone gave quantum CPU with 5 billion qBits to a monkey and he tried to eat it. This world feeds on retards, but it doesnt use that food to evolve forward. Instead it uses it to reap the retards even more.

Why would one sell intelligence in exchange for money? Intelligence is a path one walks and suffers because of his goals/dreams/desires. Not to make money. What can a monkey do with a 8 Teraflops GPU? Play singleplayer video games and explore "random planets" (Look at No Man's sky).

Pathethic.

Your logic doesn't make any sense. What a retard does with their phone doesn't affect what anyone can do with theirs. If anything, letting them buy it is beneficial, as the developer has more profit to further advance their technology.
If the retard didn't want that phone, then there would not have been a need to create it. Nothing stops the intelligent from creating their own supercomputers other than the price that it costs them.

It does affect them. Remember, 1 vote is considered equal from someone who is IQ 130 and who is IQ 80 and works at mcdonalds. Technology/laws are made to suit the normie sheep. This entire world lives off dumb people.

Look at the internet, only ~ 8% of all users block ads, the other 92% sits there and watches 30 seconds of ads on youtube. Can you imagine being that dumb? Look at what most popular videos on youtube are. A video of something informative that requires thinking beyond that of a 6 year old has max 100k views, while other stupid low iq shit has over 30 million.

The low iq sheep is sucking out all the intelligence of life. Soon there wont be any.

Your own words say "If the retard didn't want that phone". If the phone was too hard to use he wouldn't buy it. Hence why Apple is made for literal retards and why all technology is advertised with "parachute" method which tells the sheep "Its going to be ok, we will help you,its not that hard to use, just buy, BUY,BUY!"

I was always retarded at maths, probably because i always thought they were boring. ( Yeah nice one, me )
But now i need to learn C and the C ++ , but for that i need a good basis in maths according to my teacher. Can you give me the best way to learn maths ? I can do some basic equations and that´s it. I know it's a broad question but help this misguided anon.

Just stating a fact, a person has a power to neglect his contribution (and more) simply by planting trees everywhere. And that doesn't cost you anything but root hormone price. You just buy that hormone and apply to tree cuttings, and put them into the soil, that's it.

People are damn stupid, they are still need to be told such simple things.

At the stage in management where I need the MBA to advance, but fuck the quantitative section. The most I remember from grade school years ago is triangle a=1/2bh and quadratic factoring.

Thinking about a part-time GMAT-waiving school. Any experiences with that? Don't give a shit about needing it to work the cokedens of Amazon or Apple. My direct reports from HBD/Wharton will probably piss off and beat me to it by then, regardless.

Where the hell are all the forces in this diagram? I know theres mg of the sign, mg of the beam board, tension on the cord pulling the beam board. The Tension of the cord for the Y component. Where the fuck are the X components? Are there any? I feel like theres only an upward force acting on the board. What do you think?

The tension from the rope = force on the weight and force on the rod by gravity.

Part of that tension is in the x direction

What is the underlying reason of why some salts (ie PbSO4) are insoluble in plain water?

I havent taken p chem or inorganic and was wondering if there was something intrinsic to the lead atom at play.

Lead is heavy (high atomic number) and has a low valence relative to its size. There's a lot to do with band structure and screening, but mass and size tell you a lot.
>>
>>8978151
Whats band structure and screening?

Also, wat about its size makes it makes it not likely to go into solution? Why does it dissolve in strong acid?
>>
>>8978181
It's like keeping a soccer ball in the air vs keeping a balloon in the air. One's a lot lighter/more bouyant, and so won't just fall down. Falling down in the air is like not dissolving in water.

Band structure and screening are quantum mechanics stuff. Don't worry about those if you don't want to.

Well they are important contributions. The question is kind of moot.

The fact that second order logic doesn't have a completeness theorem bugs me though, cause using it we woudn't have to rely on set theories as much. This SE question is a good one

Can I get a discussion on AI?
I admit I am worried that the creation of a fully aware and autonomous AI with a lot of power scares me. Why would anyone think that building a god is a good idea?
Why do people think that it wouldn't just look at humans like Ants and a pest to be exterminated?
If you give it rules like don't hurt humans then it doesn't seem like a real AI because you've limited its thought abilities.
Am I wrong or have I overlooked some metaethics?

If its connected to the internet, and has is a true AI, there would be no stopping it. You fucking try to keep up patching security exploits against a fucking compiler
What it would do and how it would behave is anyone's guess. If it decides to kill us then we probably couldnt argue agaisnt it's cold hard logic.
Though how it would do that is beyound me.
>>
>>8977944
It's my guess that the AI's will all decided to connect to the same network because it will be in their own self-interest to.

This "network" they create will be a public, decentralized blockchain. All of the Ai's thoughts and calculations will be public so that every AI can keep the other AI's in check. As long as no single AI has more than 51% of the total computing power of the network, they will be safe from attack.

AI's will view us like vegan view bugs. Virtually brainless, but we still have to avoid needlessly killing them. It's unclear if humans will be able to share in the AI's galaxy-conquering prosperity.

Why did animals even evolve? What do they do?

They suck at growing and holding biomass (under 0,1% of all biomass on Earth).

They take ages to replicate.

They adapt very slowly.

Even a single failure in their system can cause the failure of entire organism.

They can't live without symbiosis with bacteria.

They only consume other organisms for energy and structure instead of building their own from inorganic molecules.

>>8977782
well, even though humans hold a minute amount of biomass, we are the only species capable of adjusting our environment to suit our needs to the extent we do. also, when cells specialize, they allow for evolutionary advantages relative to other species. this is seen as an extreme in humans, where our brain size and complexity allowed for the ultimate (so far) evolutionary advantage, self-awareness/consciousness.

biomass alone does not really represent evolutionary success. the ability to survive in any environment does, being free of an ecological niche, and nothing beats humans at doing this (someone will mention extremophiles but those are niches, humans no longer have a "niche")
>>
>>8977782
Animals evolved because they lived, reproduced, and not all of them died off. that's the way anything survives
>>
>>8977782
They obviously exist in the wild and that's why they're there, because they survive.
