Unlike psychology, you guys do consider sociology a science, right?
Sociology is literally applied psychology. You don't turn some random wannabe mentalist bullcrap into science by adding statistics to it.
>>8956450
Sociology is anti-science.
They start from a conclusion and try to warp data to fit it.
>>8956460
But unlike psychology it is only about behavior, and as such, it can be both observed and verified. With psychology it's "what sort of personality type are you :DD"
Did you know that IQ is adjusted for gender?
"Most IQ tests are constructed so that there are no overall score differences between females and males.[9][126] Popular IQ batteries such as the WAIS and the WISC-R are also constructed in order to eliminate sex differences.[127] In a paper presented at the International Society for Intelligence Research in 2002, it was pointed out that because test constructors and the United States' Educational Testing Service (which developed the US SAT test) often eliminate items showing marked sex differences in order to reduce the perception of bias, the "true sex" difference is masked. Items like the MRT[jargon] and RT tests,[jargon] which show a male advantage in IQ, are often removed."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient#Group_differences
So this image for example, showing a similiar IQ median for both women and men is wrong, isn't it?
Remember to subtract 15 points to obtain your Ashkenazi adjusted iq score.

right?
this should mean 6/2(1+2)=1
(a)*(b) and a*b is only equivalent when a,b are both fully reduced expressions
a(b) is equivalent to a*b IFF b is a fully reduced expression
>>8955804
no, it means your mother drank when she was pregnant
>>8955808
i kno they are equivalent im asking if you treat them the same way. a*b are two values being multiplied together where a(b) gets treated as a single value.
this really only matters because of retarted equajuns
Could pilot wave theory become the new interpretation of quantum mechanics?

It already is.

My dad once asked me if I knew anything about magrav technology, because he was excited about how the Russians were using it to scare the Americans. The whole thing was total nonsense, but he believed it since it was from some Russian-looking source.
It seems he will believe anything that comes from a Russian state media outlet, is a Russian think tank, or has a name ending in .ru. We are American, btw, he just hates America and thinks it is an evil imperialist country and that Russia is the unfairly persecuted good guy in world affairs.

can you lose fat if you eat only greens and fruits and vegan shit?
aren't most greens, low on calories?
>>8955266
yeah
You'll lose fat if you expend more energy than you consume. Thermodynamics innit.
Without proper resistance training and protein consumption you'll also lose a good bit of muscle though.

Realistically, why should I be majoring in STEM right now if there are kids in high school who know Calculus III in only their junior year?
I found I really am interested in math, but being 19 and only knowing up to Calculus I is just going to make me lesser than all the others. Same for any STEM profession.
>>8952845
>Know Cal III by junior year
Who cares? Once you get to college you can control how much math you take per semester, if you want take all math classes, you'll quickly surpass all those kids in both knowledge in skills.

I have a relevant anecdote for you OP
>Be a brainlet, taking pre-calc freshman year of college
>Professor was an absolute genius and really cared for his students (gave individual feedback on every problem on homework sets, passed out handwritten notes for every lecture, etc.)
>Joke with my pre-calc professor that I was disappointed I'm struggling with pre-calc at 18 when Newton was discovering law of universal gravitation at roughly the same age
>He was studying at MIT as a physics and math dual major
>Barely keeping up with his real analysis class, the professor wrote the book so he just cruised through material
>Student in front of him kept correcting the professor
>That student was thirteen years old
He looked me in the eye and told me "moral of the story is there's always someone out there better than you, so don't worry about it too much" before assigning me some extra log rule problems
>End up passing with an A
>Sign up to have him for calc next year
>Ends up contracting cancer and dying
I miss him ;_;

What is the probability of getting a one when we throw a dice? 1/6 correct? And a dice with 500 sides? 1/500. And a dice with infinite sides? Zero.
What is the probability that we are living if time is infinite?
>>8956686
I'm alive, therefore is 1
It's no coincidence that the plural of dice is die
>>8956686
1, because "living" is a word

We already have plenty of specialised AI, so are you talking about AGI or ASI?
AGI will certainly happen in the next 200 years and with research in life extension we may be able to live that long. ASI may never happen because it assumes recursive design of AI is exponential, but it could also easily follow a logarithmic curve where each generation of AI while being slightly smarter can only beget a smaller improvement to the next generation due to fundamental constraints on problem solving ability and cognition.
A person with an IQ of 150 and a person with an IQ of 200 can relate to each other much easier than the former can relate to someone with an IQ of 100.
>>8956374
please be more specific.
Does science yet understand what separates a self aware being that can "feel" it's own existence vs something that cannot but can imitate it? Is this a strictly philosophical question that cannot be known scientifically?
>>8955824
There is no difference between an "actual" consciousness and a "simulated" one.
>>8955825
Except me as a human can feel being alive.
A group of 10000 humans all doing computations on a piece of paper that over time that can mimic a conscious being probably doesn't actually feel anything.
