I have a friend who bought into the "all natural" meme, and thinks GMOs are evil and organics are the way to go to save the earth

His arguments are
1.Its not natural
2. it allows plants to grow in places mother nature did not intend for them to grow
3. its not natural
4. a food is only food for you if its made naturally with natural ingredients rather than ingredients i a lab
5. we have enough food in the world, why do we need gmos?

How should I explain to him that GMOs are not all the evil?

he'll just say its unnatural and we already have enough food on this planet to feed everyone, and that we need to be more responsible with our food wastes

All the portrayals of spaceships either have steel or 'white', and they're either ISS tier style or star trek TNG style super sleek.

What would the best way to build the living area of a star ship?

Assuming they have the ridiculous amount of raw resources and industrial capacity to build a huge ass interstellar spaceship with presumably relatively tiny crew area

-rounded surfaces to make getting flung around hurt less
-shock dampening walls to make getting flung around hurt less
-surfaces made of copper or brass cause people are dirty
-recessed components to make getting flung around hurt less
-lots of self sealing star trek doors

A huge ship won't shake around like you see in Star Trek. Huge masses don't accelerate quickly. It's like how school buses don't need seat belts.

How much further advanced would we be if any and all human experimentation was legal? For example what if it was allowed for experimentation to be done on prisoners? Or why not just allow voluntary experimentation in exchange for payment?

Imagine the greater understanding we would have.

I think a lot could be learned in neuroscience by selectively and locally anesthetizing different parts of the brain, and then evaluating the subject in every conceivable way.

What do you learn after calculus?

My math education ended at second level with what would be considered by Americans to be Calc I and we also touched on some vectors. I went on to pursue a liberal arts degree and now want to pick up where I left off. Is there a /sci/ approved branch of maths? After lurking a bit, is topology considered to be a meme?

>What do you learn after calculus?
Everything.

>is topology considered to be a meme?
Algebra, Analysis and Topology are the 3 pillars of modern mathematics. Without any of them you are not a mathematician.

>Is there a /sci/ approved branch of maths?
Check the wiki for that but a good start would be:

>Complete Calculus (which means go through Calc II and III)
>Then get some introductory book on Analysis, Algebra and Topology. One book for each. For each topic you can find introductions that are like 300 pages long.

>topology isn't a meme, but that's too advanced for you.
WRONG.

Topology is not too advanced for anyone. The core concepts of topology (point-set) is literally a self contained theory, for which you need no previous background in anything but the formal language of set theory.

After that you decide if you want to learn analysis and/or algebra to be able to apply topology to more interesting problems.
