There aren't more idiots, if anything WAY less. The only thing that's changed is that those idiots are more visible.

The skill ceiling has been raised, thus less people are hitting their heads.

>There aren't more idiots, if anything WAY less
Yeah this is a common claim by retards. There's no actual evidence to support it and the evidence actually points to a gradual decrease in overall intelligence over time. There are certainly more people who consider themselves intellectual hot shit now, but that's just do to the special snowflake method of raising children to be insufferable that's been going on for decades now.

>>8847085
Not really. Even if you consider the old polymaths of Europe or China, it's hard to find people even on THEIR level.

False Statement

Well gee where do I recognize this series

For brevity let the left-hand side be E and the right-hand side be O

Consider the function [math]s:E \to O[/math] given by the rule [math]n\mapsto n+1[/math].

If n is even then s(n) is odd, so for every n such that [math]\frac{1}{2n} \in E[/math] it holds that [math]s(n) \in O[/math] so [math]E \subseteq O[/math].
On the other hand, because [math]2n-1 \leq 2n[/math] for every n, taking unions over n of both sides yields [math] O \subseteq E [/math].

Since [math]E \subseteq O[/math] and [math]O \subseteq E[/math], putting the two together yields E = O which completes the proof.

Many-to-one functions don't have inverses, by the definition of a function

>>8848647
If your range is a set of sets then they can. It's not strictly an inverse in the sense that composing it with the original yields an identity function but it doesn't matter for what I'm doing.

>>8848631
Set valued functions; they went out of fashion in the early 20th century.

social """"""""""science"""""""""" students are so fucking retarded stop pretending to be scientists holy shit calling them brainlets would be insulting to actual dumb people

No plastic is safe. The only way plastic could be safe is if it was inert, but anything you can combine with plastic to make it inert will turn it into ash.

>>8848590
So would a BPA-free water filter pitcher defeat the purpose because it's still plastic? Should I get a faucet filter instead?

Trying to stop drinking bottled water but I'm not sure if I should drink it straight from the tap or what.

>>8848594
Just avoid ingesting things that have been sitting in containers for a significant amount of time or have been cooked in containers. Everything except jarred crap is stored in plastic or lined containers.

Is this a stars-and-bars problem?

>>8848357
This problem is horribly underdefined. So without more information, there is no "solution."

>>8848247
Autosage all threads that have "IQ" and "race" in the OP?

Though that would not really stop /pol/ from shitposting in other threads

My problem with /sci/ is that OP is always, perdon me, a bag of sticks.

Talking about race is certainly not "anti-scientific". If you don't want /sci/ to talk about that, that's fine, just say you want this to be a board that talks about science but not some parts of it, like how human beings have been affected by evolution. There are some parts of science that are very taboo and it makes sense why people on this board don't want to talk about it.

Just dump her. It's a lot easier than trying to help her.

>>8848149
No grain products, no fried or high temp cooked eggs (boiled eggs are fine), and no dairy products. All green veggies should be cooked well. If she has an inflamed intestine right now, she needs to be on a full liquid diet for ten days to allow it to heal. Then take a week to slowly go back on solid foods. Over the counter stuff like ibuprofen will help with the pain of inflammation, but only take a max of 800mg a day for up to 3 days in a row.

>>8848149
She may be just an idiot, or she may be woefully misinformed. The former cannot be cured or endured, the later can be corrected over time.

Which one applies to her is something you have to judge.

The whole point of that story was as soon as God introduced languages people weren't able to finish their blasphemous tower and went separate ways. This is what happens when people don't go to sunday school.

If you actually make 220k (ergo youre at the Top 1% of your field) im sure you dont need a phd to get into space research. Just try and look for jobs

For what purpose?

No.

>>8847028
No, but it's generally nice. I enjoy my dental care and not dying from inflamation of the appendix.
Imagine a world however where medical advancements wouldn't also lead to our population ever increasing at insane rates. Now that would be max comfy.

>>8847028
It would be a lot shorter, that's for sure.

Dumb anime poster. State your domain for x

>>8846900
If we allow for any domain whatsoever.... I suppose... I suppose you could define `mod 0` in such a way that `x` is congruent to `x+1 mod 0`. Kinda dumb though.

You can choose any domain i find the trivial domain of modulo 1 but is there other domain ?
