I don't belive the same genes effect both. However, physically attractive people probably somewhat more often attract the same in their partners, so there's likely a small correlation.

>>8649400

Well, do not ask me how I know this, but I have seen some global heat maps of big dicks and big tits. They seem to be colocated in similar regions. So, based on that observation, I would think there is a pretty good chance that big dicks and big tits are related to similar genetics. Of course, this is all my personal speculation.

>>8649583
African women generally have small tits though.

Holy run on sentence batman

>getting into a good uni
Go to a community college and put in the work. Stop making excuses and pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Finishing a college degree is far more about will power and effort than innate intelligence. Dont fall for the low-self esteem meme.

I have that problem too. I was told not to be a perfectionist.

Adderall, Semax, LSD Mircodose
>Shit
Everything else.

>>8649324
Adderall will remove emotion though, Semax I know nothing of so can't comment, but LSD microdosing is a godsend

>>8649347

>adderall will remove emotion

what do you mean it will remove emotion? how do you know it will remove emotion? how does the removal of emotion hurt academic work?

just take adderall OP. the only people that are against using it are anti-drug weenies

Bumpin'

>>8649221

Yeah, it is.

>>8649349
How do you think this relates to science itself? Is it safe to assume that science is the ultimate framework?

Are aliens slimy?

>>8649146
All aliens are coated in a viscous gel-like fluid. The compounds vary from life form to life form. There is only one type of alien that doesn't have a slimy layer AMD that's the Negaslimoids of Sector 6,899,765B-Area 232ç

Well I have a small number of theories on what and how aliens will work on a biological level.
This may take several posts.

Firstly you need you focus on the planet its self. If the planet has smaller desnity than earth and has less than 1G then they will be significantly weaker. Their muscles and bones will be weaker than ours.
If the planet is denser and has more than 1G then they will most likely be stronger than humans.
Our planets gravitatonal pull is quite strong considering it harbors life. Any stronger and rocket propelled space traveled would be nearly impossible.
For xenos to be able to travel in space they would either be weaker and use rockets or stronger and have more advanced tech.

This paragraph is hard to word and difficult to explain in text.

somebody tell me i'm right, dammit

the problem is that you bashed cs majors from an engineering perspective

to get responses here you need to do it from a mathematicians point of view

>>8649141
i really cant get behind the idea that computer science is a subset of mathematics, at least not the way it's being taught nowadays

the most mathematics that's worked into cs is maybe a little set and graph theory, and if you take higher level electives some group theory

That is my shortlist.

There are some basic topics that I feel like might need more coverage, like algorithms & advanced logic, computer & data science, statistics, natural and social sciences, psychology, world history, government, history of ideas, communication, poetry & music theory, hermeneutics, esoterics & mysticism, semantics & semiotics, reference materials, and books on rigorous writing. Of course, there's also practical living that might be useful to consider as well. You're not smart unless you've built something with your hands, in my opinion.

Otherwise, I think this roughly covers the "breadth" of all of the structures of thought possible for the mind with sufficient depth. It would also give you a passable education, though better curation might improve the final outcome.

Thanks for your time. What are some other books that might be helpful here?

The answer is God.

Its an elipse

>>8649026
I'm getting that the integral is -1/3

>>8649035
but how do you get its equation?

Just put the fraction in brackets, brainlet.

>>8648812
Nobody does that though, dickhead.

>>8648814
You hang around with retards.

I always put the fraction in brackets when it is being divided to illustrate which is which.

I agree with you though, it's retarded.

It's a generalization of finding the middle of two points. (a+b)/2 which is trivial and easy to understand

An easy generalization of this is (a+b+c)/3, (a+b+c+d)/4, etc

>>8648785
All you are stating is that an average is an average. You're just repeating the definition.

When did you realise mathematical axioms don't actually exist?!

Does it really make a difference tho?

I got 92% on GRE. It took me 1 year and 2 months to get prepared. I used this programm

Is it in % now? My old ass scored a 750 out of 800. I took a class but felt like I didn't need it. The math was ez-pz. It helped me on the verbal tho, which I still scored only 420 on.

>>8648737
It does not matter how much you scored absolutely, since many people may get the same score and it will acount for worse percentile. Top grad schools usually evaluate us in terms of percentiles. Btw, which one have you entered?

natural selection works on individuals
evolution works on population
t. first-year biology

>>8648738
Nice poem.

But what does it *mean*?

Hint: it doens't always apply. Sometimes natural selection works on populations/species, and sometimes evolution works on individuals. The more you know.

Evolution is completely conjecture. It is the worst scientific theory out there, that pretty much indoctrinates the believer into an atheistic stance.

I let my hand write down what it wants to while I pay attention to the lecture, then consolidate the scribblings into easily-memorized graphical representations of key concepts.

Walk away OP, walk away.

Or you could be like James Randi and offer them a million dollars if they can prove any of it. Because, if it is only a power that they are aware of and cannot show anyone else, then that's called imagination.

Your attacking a strawman, OP. Among "spiritual people" there is a huge variety. There's morons who think crystals are magic and homeopathy work, but there's also people who are simply seeking to better understand themselves and the universe though an inward practice of some sort.

>>8648342
Yeah, but those people won't try to tell you about it. I once open-mindedly read on some Buddhist texts and I think that there's something to them, but I'd never shill it to another person who isn't interested.
