What does /sci/ think of N,N-Dimethyltryptamine?
Why is in the human body?

How many more people need to be killed by psychopaths high on DMT before they admit it's a problem?
>>
It's a class 1 drug and will lead to more harmful drug addictions like Acid and LSD or even heroine and meth

A very chill, eye opening hallucinogen.
It's probably in the body to induce vision during sleep, the feeling of transcendentalness when falling asleep (that moment you drift away) and to give add to the best trip of your life when you slowly drift away to the everlasting blackness death provides.
Also, don't listen to the previous poster. Hallucinogens are NOT addictive.

i'd say it's already been beneficial just learning about it (there's some audio recordings for guided meditations included), planning on reading some of the books they mention too (Jon Kabat-Zinn's 'Full Catastrophe Living' and 'Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life')

Why can't we just attach two airplane engines on both sides of a rocket and have it fly to space or better yet an airplane engine on the bottom of the rocket?

Jets quickly become less efficient as you gain altitude and the air gets thinner. The highest cruising altitude of a commercial jet has been 18 km, which is about double the standard. Space doesn't start until 100 km

Is autism the next step in human evolution?
>more intelligent
>visual or pattern thinking
>better at science and computers
>have an advantage in a technologically oriented future where verbal communication is made obsolete
Would the human race benefit if we implemented eugenics to mass produce autism?

>more intelligent
Only a tiny minority of the autists are actually intelligent. The rest of them are barely functional retards.
If I'm not mistaken the percentage of highly intelligent individuals among non-autists is higher than with autists.
Nevertheless, they aren't very social. Humans have thriven this far because they are very social animals, as opposed to neanderthals, for one.

High-functioning autism, maybe, but I doubt it helps with reproduction so it won't be a lasting branch.

What is the best language and writing system?
How could you design a language that is the most optimal?
How could you make the language the easiest to speak and pronounce? How could you make the language the most consistent and intuitive?
How could you design a writing system that is the most optimal?
How many characters would you have? How could you make the characters the easiest and fastest to write?
I think if we ever want to be a truly advanced society, these are questions we need to answer. We also need to switch to the metric system.

Yes. If written phonetically why not. But even as the mess it is today it is better than any hieroglyphic language. You need to be able to write any word that can be pronounced. Also, the posters question if flawed. A language by definition is expanding evolving and merging all the time, it is never set. No matter how good a language could be defined it would never be definitive because language is not definitive. English would be a good practical choice. It is spoken everywhere that matters, it has a small enough symbol set to be practical. It has an extensive vocabulary that is up to date.

Anyone else having a bad case of brainfog here? It's honestly hindering my studies now. It feels like my thoughts are clouded, and when I'm thinking I'm like flying blindly looking for pieces of my thoughts. I know some of you would say to see a doctor, I've seen one and he just says you're probably just anxious, and tells me to go home and sleep it off, and doesn't prescribe shit to me, sending me home with a consultation fee. Probably someone here has a similar case like me.
Known symptoms:
1. Strong heartbeats that I can feel while just sitting down from my chest
2. De-motivated
3. Constant feeling of lethargy
I've tried everything, I've tried Vitamin B-complex, Caffeine, Fish Oil supplements and even as far as Ginseng.

Are you getting enough sleep? I require 10 hours of sleep every night or I'm sub-optimal
Do you work out? Working out can help clear fog-causing hormones in your brain. I don't know the exact science, but think of it like lactic acid. Cognitive stress (studying, work, etc) causes "bad hormones" to buildup, which cause "brain fog." Strenuous exercise will flush everything. Really.
Do you eat well? High sodium/fat diets can make you feel sluggish.
Are you sure it's brain fog and you just don't understand the topic? Gaps in knowledge can feel like "brain fog" or "just not getting it," but really, you just need to back and build your base

So my roommate just drunkenly pissed all over our dorm room floor. Me not being arsed to clean up his piss at 2:00am just sprayed bleach on his piss covered stuff and threw a towel over it. However, I just realized that urine probably contains ammonia and I just sprayed bleach all over a bunch of it. Am I going to die in my sleep tonight?

Okay I made a thread on /r9k/ attempting to roll dubs and it took 44 posts for dubs to be struck
>>>/r9k/35960001
Can a mathfag tell me what the probability like percent chance of dubs being looked for 43 times and not showing up on 4chan? It has to be some insanely low number

(9/10)^43 roughly = 1%, now fuck off
>>
>>8797676
I'm not satisfied by that at all and I wouldn't consider your cursory explanation or attitude to be that of a true mathematician
>>
>>8797679
The probability of dubs is 1/10
since 00, 11, 22....99 are 10, and there are 100 different configurations for the last 2 digits (00, 01, 02.....99)
So the probability of NOT being dubs is 9/10 =(1-1/10)
and the probability of that happening 43 times is
(9/10)^43

Aren't trannies good for society?
>Reduce crime by reducing the number of high-testosterone men
>Make it easier for normal men to find women because less competition
>Men so inclined also now have trannies to fuck as well as an extra stress release
>Solve the orphaned kids problem because they have to adopt
This is why every culture has had a third gender or eunuchs or something, too many males is bad for society.

Races by percentage of Neanderthal DNA:
Source: https://tinyurl com/neanderthal-DNA-map
>1: East Asians
>2: Caucasoid
>3: South Eurasians and Middle Easterns
>4: North Africans and 'African Arabs'
>5: Northern Sub-Saharan Africans
>6: Central and Southern Sub-Saharan Africans
This also happens to coincide with IQ disparity exactly.
Source: https://tinyurl com/IQ-by-country-map
My proposal is that percentage of Neanderthal may be the reason that certain races (with higher percentages of the DNA) have higher IQ and seem to be more 'intelligent' than others.
>America has been excluded due to widespread mixing between diametric genepools, Brazil being a prime example.

Yup. Neanderthals also had larger brain-to-body ratios. Joseph Henrich seems to think they were smarter.
>>
Yes, indeed. Race war when?

>>8796832
That's quite interesting, if we hadn't bred with Neanderthal and wiped them out or vice versa, it would be interesting to see the differences in 'timelines'.
