Wat do? Her lack of understanding of everything is detrimental and infuriating. I didn't have an even remotely proper education growing up because she scared herself of schooling and letting a child learn in a controlled environment how to live without constant supervision from the parent, and she's gonna do the exact same thing to my brother.

>>8895161
There's nothing wrong with believing any of those things desu

The only one I would possibly label pseudoscience is astrology, but even that's more like protoscience

>>8895225
Vaccines have killed people. Rarely people are severely allergic to something in a vaccine. Not taking them would be like not buckling up because someone got choked by a car seat though.

That's a good analogy. I'll try and use it next time the topic comes up.

horoscope isn't 'pseudoscience' since it can modify people behaviour.

>>8897296

Its not going to. The reason it went from rational to social justice wiki is because of the split of internet atheism into post-modern internet atheism and modern-internet atheism, and post-modernist are almost impossible to convince of anything regarding humanities because they don't agree with empiricism in humanities.

I sincerely believed quite literally all this until a few years ago, and have many close relatives far older than me who still do and are actually very intelligent people.

I think the biggest deterrent to change in this regard is the complete inability for most secular people to accept that this is overwhelmingly the case in much of the Christian world, especially in the Americas, Africa, and East Asia.

This is not a meme. This is very real. I've personally taken these kinds of tests with many of these very questions, feeling entirely confident that it was true. I was surrounded by a massive society of genuinely decent and honest people some of whom were doctorseers, millionaire entrepreneurs, even philosophers who emphatically believed every fucking word on that test.

So FUCK YOU for having your head so far up your ass. There are few types of people that revile me more than those who deny the intellectual abuse literal billions are subjected to and mock those bring it up. FUCK YOU.

I absolutely hate it. I can't just blame the parents though. Parents these days are bombarded with scam BS everyday that claim they'll be better parents if they buy this shit. Doesn't help that these things are stocked in pharmacies, making some believe they're safe to sell.

That's true of everyone, in everything. People aren't rational, in fact we're barely capable of even approximating rationality. What we are is /rationalizing/, we're very good at giving rational-seeming reasons for why we believe what we do, but it's all surface level and ultimately we believe what we believe for irrational reasons.

It's not as long as you don't claim too much about it. It is highly predictive of several life outcomes, predicts national PPP wealth when aggregated in countries, is highly consistent within the same individual over time, and it's narrow sense heritability can be easily estimated like the narrow sense heritability of any other traits. He is butthurt because /pol/ points out that it can be used to implement policy decisions about immigration and about eugenics. These are dismissed as "pseudoscience" but no reason is ever given as to why it wouldn't work, especially with a polygenic trait that is a very good predictor of living standards.

A priori, there's no reason why head transplant is pseudo-science. Reconnecting the circulation and bypassing that shit is trivial enough, CNS reconnection is non-trivial but sharp enough slice is plausible for increasing the odds of function (the glycol thing I not fully familiar with).

The Russians kept heads alive in isolation back in the 30's (see the video introduced by JBS Haldane), monkey heads have been transplanted (with no body motor function tho), so who knows.

However, the first guy who gets this done is a fucking goner. Ditto for the next few probably, but thats how it goes.

It's really hard to believe people like that exist, especially since the Pope openly stated that "God isn't some wizard with a magic wand", essentially confirming creationism is bs and Genesis was figurative

The professor showed documentaries made by the discovery institute. She literally showed creationist propaganda in a college science class.

>>8903745
In fact, based on IQ disparities common sense might say that blacks are fundamentally less intelligent. And, to be honest, I've seen at least one study that goes a long way toward showing that is NOT the case. However, just out of curiosity, I asked an anon to see if they can provide proof. But they rarely can. Because science has become a modern day echo chamber for people who want to seem right.

When they consider all alternative hypotheses, meaning all model-independent Lorentz invariant amplitudes, then you will have a point. As it stands you don't. If it had some certain spin-1 properties and you compared to "some other cases spin-0,1,2" they would be still be excluded at that high degree.

>CMS https://arxiv.org/abs/1411.3441
On this one you didn't copy the part that refutes your point into your excerpt so here it is:
>Any mixed-parity spin-one state is excluded in the ZZ and WW modes at a greater than 99.999% confidence level. Under the hypothesis that the resonance is a spin-zero boson, the tensor structure of the interactions of the Higgs boson...
What about unmixed parity states? This analysis is similar to the one from ATLAS in that they do not exclude all possible cases of spin-1. Only some of them, and neither of these papers even mention the issue about two pairs of boosted photons rather simply two photons.

Everyone knows that Particle Data Group is the source of record of what is final in particle physics. As long as PDG is unwilling to make a plain statement about the particle's spin, as they do for every other particle, then that means the spin of the new particle from 2012 is not determined as of their most recent publication. In this case that was 2016, years after either of the two papers you cited.

>Why is there no middle ground anymore?
Because extremism and dogma, no matter how immoral it may seem, greatly aids the particular political philosophy or belief system. How else did you think Christianity or Islam became as massive today? By singing about peace and love and accepting the other guy? By having mutual discourse on the nature of what they believed? Or through conversion and conquest? Through making sure there is never a scrap of doubt in their minds?
When the minds of a people are guarded against the thought of being wrong, when they believe unquestioningly that either they could do nothing wrong and the other side has done nothing but wrong, when they are willing to fight for their beliefs no matter the price or what might result from it, that is when a belief is strongest. And while this makes discourse impossible, it does fill the hearts of the zealots with a level of determination rarely seen. It does make an ideology strong and spreads it.
With that said do not mistake what I say as disparaging the Christian faith. I'm merely saying what my opinion on the subject is, as well as what I've observed. Indeed should a zealot's idea be to help people, should someone be passionate about gathering strength, should the dogma being spread bring with it a moral code, then it is alright. Benevolent even in some cases.
Zealotry is a virtue, and like all virtues it can be used either for good or for ill.

It's a fringe mix of retards, trolls and false flagging shills. Well, used to be, anyway. Too bad fucking normies from The_Donald came with their stupid normie conspiratard shit and made it "mainstream" on the board.

catholics are cool but american evangelicals are retarded enough to do this, and most heavily religious americans are evangelical rather than catholic
i mean they are the same social group that puts shit like this in the Texas republican party's official platform:
>Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.
yes they oppose teaching kids critical thinking because they might question their parents
this was literally unironically actually in the official 2012 party platform
evangelicals are retarded
