those things aren't stuff that you make illegal, those are things you need to make legal in the first place.

It's a liberal wordgame to refer all humans as a "race"

I get triggered by all these fucking liberal wordgame shit, like when non-whites are called "minorities".

Max planck was told by his teacher that physics was mostly complete. You can't predict what people are going to understand

if something is even in principle truly unobservable then there is no reason to believe it exists.

Mindlessly chase funding and purposely lie and skew experiments in order to get more funding.

You sound fucking naïve

Crossboarding brainlet here.
Wasn't Schroedinger's cat an argument to basically say that it wouldn't make sense if it was both alive and dead at the same time in the first place?

People who are unable to emotionally distance themselves from a discussion or ever admit they're wrong. Humans aren't perfect and everyone makes mistakes, no one is an exception to this rule.

>>8305229
Schroedingers cat was about superposition state of quanta, or particles, i guess.
But it's unnecessary because this concept is actually much easier to grasp when explained with things like photons in a double slit experiment, you know, where it actually happens

>>8305155

For real, man. I once had someone argue with me for a good 20 minutes insisting that race doesn't exist and that "human" isn't a species.

He even quoted Bill fucking Nye as saying race doesn't exist.

>>8305287
If human isn't a species then what was according to him?

>>8305287

Bill Nye is such a meme. He has a BA in mechanical engineering and THAT'S IT. Everything else he says is his own speculation on the topic and not rooted in fact.

Why do people worship every smart-sounding memelord like Black Science Man and Bill Nye and preach their words like the gospel?

>>8305292
Regular scientists see the general public as mindless apes not worth making an attempt to educate. Being able to take scientific concepts and dumb them down so that the layman can understand it seems to be a gift so rare that those who are capable become gods of science in the eyes of those who don't know better.

>>8305291

Apes. Just apes. To him and people who think like him, we're a race of apes. For

What they think cro-magnons and neanderthals were I'll never know.

>>8305303
But that's silly, humans can't successfully breed with apes so there's absolutely no way we're the same species.

>>8305306

Exactly.

And, not to drag politics into it, but it's almost invariably leftists who do this.

I've never met a conservative who confuses genus with species.

>>8305315
I've seen conservatives claim races are actually species many times. I'm pretty sure that's where segregation and slavery come from.

>>8305027
>>evolution is a foolproof explanation
If you don't think it is, you don't understand it.

>>8305451

nice meme

>>8305451
It's our best explanation but you're a fool if you think anything scientific is foolproof. A simple discovery can prove any theory false, that's exactly why science is so resilient.

And don't get me started on those anti-human organisations such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, I don't even want to give them labels, they'll corrupt those labels anyway.


I'm honestly one of the biggest environmentalists / conservationists which I know, though these organisations which spout absolute bullshit and goals which will fail without culling 6 billion of the planets population, they are appalling, and depress me.

>Inability to understand that nature isn't some loving family member, but something which doesn't care for one another and will kill us by the age of 30, if not 3 months.
But you're dead wrong, without nature we wouldn't even exist. If you're talking about the competitive part of it you're also wrong. If you studied ecology you'd realize that most inter-species relationships are actually mutualistic and that true competition is quite rare. Life didn't evolve over billions of years just to try and put an end to itself.

>>8306141
Don't worry, I understand that completely, it's just an oversimplification, of course, I'd assume that most here would understand the basics without succumbing to recital of textbook information.
My main point which I tried to pass across is against the myth of some person being 'one with nature' in a more, well, I'd say religious sense.

In the end, just about all of the successful organism will be in it for themselves, with mutualism and appropriate symbiotic relationships at play if they work to the advantage of an organism.

>>8304918
This bothers me too. Every fucking time. Of course if I ever voiced my thoughts on it though everyone would just think I'm a big pretentious jackass.

>>8306159
I sort of get what you're saying, an organism doesn't really care about a mutualistic partner so long as it gets what it needs to survive from it. It just so happens the net benefit is largest when both sides of the relationship co-operate. It's essentially the best case scenario of the prisoner's dilemma.
