Is there a way we could computer generate an unnaturally attractive face with science? Maybe by testing out computer generated faces on multiple people and seeing the dilation of their eyes, or whatever physical identifier of pleasure at what they're seeing, we could mathematically set the perfect proportions and colors of the face. Normally what's extremely attractive to one person in the face may apply to the next person with a similar sexuality.
tall, oval face shape with a tall, not receding forehead and a receding jaw based on profile(the forehead must always be more prominent than the lips/jaw/chin/mouth)
broad, narrow nose
light eyes
light skin
freckles
zero protruding brow ridge with eyebrows that are vertical on the inside and slowly tilt down with the eye on the outside
take paul newman for example. he has most of those features. if you looked at a female paul newman, it'd probably be one of the most attractive women to ever exist and I'm sure we would be able to easily create something to filter women that had those features and it would work because those are objectively attractive features.
As far as I know we know what makes people beautiful. I would say it would be pretty easy, if you have the right people working on it.

I think a slightly protruding brow can look cool and masculine.

These poor fuckers. Seeing their destroyed faces makes me want to pursue plastic surgeries research to avoid such disasters in the future. Can someone give me a quick rundown on how into plastic surgery research?

In many states, like Washington State, knowing you have an STD and infecting a partner is illegal. Many states have different charges depending on whether the transmission was intentional—i.e., you meant to do someone harm—versus reckless—i.e., you didn’t think about it, or it happened anyway. In states like New Jersey, you can be charged with attempted murder if you know you’re HIV positive and attempt to infect someone intentionally.

What's the problem with technology and engineering? Why do women not enroll in them?
Because they don't want to

Too hard.
>>8721525
because women that are passionate about science go into pure sciences or math. the women that go into engineering 9 out of 10 times don't give a fuck about the subject and just want a well paying job.
if you look at engineering society pictures there's typically not a lack of women, and certainly not the 1 in 20 ratio that you see in classes. if you actually visit those societies while they're working you'll see that there are little, if any, women in sight. they just try to leverage whatever means they have to get a job and show they were "involved."

Is there any scientific evidence of gender being separated from sex? And gender being a social construct?
Yes there is.
Sociologist would say gender is learned behavior while sex is biological. Wanting to play with a doll doesn't mean you should cut your dick off though.
No there isn't.
Who else /literal brainlet/ here and still trying to cope? Or who else almost literally feels handicapped with their academic pursuits?

Actually really love caffiene pills for this. 200mg delivered faster than coffee ever could; actually makes me feel like I can work like a normal human being for an hour or two.
Admittedly, its forced me to start learning some healthier habits - forcing myself to get up earlier, get to bed earlier, have a regular sleep schedule, its forced me to keep my studying and working to a "human" schedule, typically getting to campus by 8AM and leaving by 8PM, and never really working while I'm home. But its frustrating to feel like even a single late night can set me back all week, or like I can completely bomb an exam on material I knew because I didn't have a chance to get coffee before it and didn't have caffiene pills or something. I know a lot of people are going to claim that I've just made myself dependent, but I've gone months without coffee or caffiene of any kind and its been the same either way, exept just slow all the fucking time instead.
I'd like to hear about the other brainlets that struggle on /sci/.
Do you exercise? It sounds like you have a health problem desu.

But behavioral science is not a science, so you're right in saying that modern science is not capable of explaining this phenomenon.

What is /sci/'s response to the hard problem of consciousness? Why is there something "that it is like" to be a brain? Why doesn't all the data processing go on "in the dark", without the phenomenal experience? Do you see a big explanatory gap between function and experience here?

>>8682044
Well at this point, I don't think science has much to say on this problem, which remains tied to philosophy. I'm sure there's an evolutionary reason why we have conscious experiences, but the reason why is beyond anything I'm aware of.
I definitely think this is a serious question, and I imagine steps towards its solution would be the development of a better understanding of self-reference.
>>8682044
>consciousness?
Infinite minds imagining the limited concepts of space and time. It's bound to be confusing.
The "hard problem" is only a problem in the substance dualism model of consciousness. There are models that account for what humans perceive without having so many issues. That problem is arguably a paradox even, which would mean it falsifies dualism.

How do you mathematically prove that communism doesn't work?

>>8723864
Define what it means for communism to "work"
The price calculation problem
>>8723864
With lack of incentive to work harder, no matter how hard the worker intially works almost all will just become unproductive. Some professor peoved this with an experiment on his class where a lot of them were commies. They all agreed that for every test everyone would recieve the average grade, no matter what they got. The first grade was a B so the people who worked really hard to get an A got far lower and figured that no matter how hard they worked they wouldn't be able to get an A unless everyone did so they slacked off, and the slackers kept slacking. Eventually everyone was just failing.
