Sooner you'll have a working uterus and lactation than the brain. Less complex wiring, really.

Is it even possible to make someone look like a woman without fucking with their hormones which in turn fucks with their brains?

Every single fucking time, rinse and repeat. When will they ever learn? Are these brainlets incapable of understanding what a long term, decade/century timescale trend is?

Previous thread related, notice how that one moron posted links that directly contradicted his argument and then never responded back.

By the way OP, Churchill has average temps ~-13.9°C for the month of march, and on average it doesn't get above freezing until May / June there, so once again your argument boils down to "Wow, it's snowing in winter again! Warmist BTFO!" yet again.

not how it works

The square root is defined in terms of the complex logarithm which can only be defined locally
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_sheaf_sequence
>The exponential mapping here is not always a surjective map on sections; this can be seen for example when M is a punctured disk in the complex plane. The exponential map is surjective on the stalks: Given a germ g of an holomorphic function at a point P such that g(P) ≠ 0, one can take the logarithm of g in a neighborhood of P.

shieeet that is expensive man.

Why would that help?

>>8763010
I'd assume because when you're relying on your own income to stay afloat, time becomes more precious.

>>8761711

That is more a philosophical question "perception is reality yada yada" Also the simulation is almost never as good as the real life, a simulation is based on reality as a way to make prognosis for something.

Is the ship of Theseus Theseus's ship?

Well, it's a ship. Close enough.

So, yes, for most purposes. You can always engage in epistemic pinhead-dancing, but for perceptual purposes, identical is identical.

>>8761711
How many angels can balance on a pinhead? There is no meaningful answer to your question.

back when i had to study for uni exams I did this:
pomodoro with 50 mins of studying / 10 mins break (I read a study that said that after 1 hour it becomes harder and harder to pay attention to a subject without losing focus)

during the breaks I'd do some jogging, pushups, etc calisthenics because physical activity reduces stress, increases focus

if I was a bit tired I'd eat coffee (fuck boiling it, if you eat it you absorb 100% of it), I was too lazy to buy pills

piracetam, 4.8g every (biological half life duration) hours and before I'd take it I would eat food that is a source of choline: eggs, meat, dairy, etc

good nutrition, this is very important, to prevent mental fatigue and brain fog and short attention span and depression and anxiety and other shit

no distractions, repetitive, minimalist music (peter glass - glassworks as an example, or other electronic music)

clutter-free, comfy studying environment with good lighting


try to make as many mental connections as I can so that I can try to asymptotically reach the kolmogorov complexity of the quantity of information I need to memorize, basically I would try to do some shitty mental compression like ZIP, LZMA and etc do, I'd try to do shit like "oh so it's like this because of that and I can use X to describe Y and it also looks kinda similar to Z even though they're different"
and lastly, I know this may sound stupid, but I'd put some perfume on, I had anxiety when I was wearing that perfume because it meant that I had to go on and I hate that, because I had social anxiety, and wearing it at home would be some kind of CBT, i'd start to get used to it, also, smell is strongly related to memories, ever noticed how after sensing a familiar scent you start remembering all kinds of old memories? I wanted to make a mental association between the memories related to studying and the exams, so that at the exams when I was smelling the perfume I'd get a boost on remembering, like some sort of vidya buff

I think the general idea is to maximize the amount of information your human brain is capable of learning in a period of time, and to do this you have to think about how brains memorize and remember things. You have to do some research and optimize your life in such a way that you create new synapses that help store the information you want to learn and you have to strengthen them as much as you can, while avoiding distractions that cause new, useless synapses to form and basically slow your progress. Also, the brain constantly tries to compress the information by creating links between newly learned ideas and other, older ideas. The more mental links you make between concepts the easier it is to memorize and understand them. The more you abstract and describe them with different analogies, the easier it is to memorize them. You have to take advantage of every part in the brain. Language, visual, physical (tactile / locomotion, etc), olfactory, etc. All can be used to remember things.


besides this I'd try to become like some sort of autistic robot, by this I mean that i'd try to force myself to stop thinking that I'd need breaks or entertainment and that studying was everything I had in the world, I'd try to make studying my entire life during the hours I'd study, I think this sort of mental conditioning is very important. Let's say you're a pathetic brainlet that's being mentally controlled and subjugated by the social network jews and you check facebook half of the time. You halved the amount of time you have available for studying. That shit is far too inefficient.

>>8759527
also I think that it's best to really work your ass hard when learning the base concepts because it is important to get the basics really well so that the future blocks of information are really easy to understand and memorize because you can just use the base blocks to describe them, usually, if you are able to create mental connections between them and analogies and other shit

I don't think the card / question crap is that useful

in my opinion it's more useful to think about learning in a human way, not in an abstract, machine kind of way where you need to test shit continuously

and you can do this by drawing diagrams, thinking in an abstract way, making lots of mental connections, making analogies, trying to explain concepts to yourself in different, simple and complex ways, etc

I don't see why not.

well engineering already exists so.....

I want to gulag every single pop-science retard. I fucking hate how "science"is starting to become part of the spectacle.

Fucking neoliberalism

Are you fucking serious

No reason will ever be good enough for you because you will keep shoehorning your religious beliefs regardless of how logical an argument against god.

If this wasn't the case, you wouldn't be religious.

>not believing in
bcoz not a Medieval peasant

I know this is such a stupid question.
But I have yet to hear a good argument for not believing in invisible pink unicorns.

Sometimes I like imagining that this simulation is inside another simulation inside another simulation inside yet another one and so on for infinity until it loops back around. Spooks me out.

For undergrad, there's no difference in the quality of education being offered (within reason).The "top" schools are research institutions, not teaching facilities. You'll get the same level of education for CS (kek you fucking brainlet) at penn state that you would at Berkeley. I mean, there are only so many ways to teach the pigeonhole theorem and how to compute permutations to undergrads.

Prestige of course differs, and the Berkeley grad will symbolically outrank you, but at the end of the day, you were both taught by an overworked grad student and probably Pompous phd who view your education as nothing more than a nuisance.

>>8765287
This. The level of education you'll get is virtually identical. The difference mostly comes from having a good name on your resume, it will open more doors for employment.
