Some concepts are non empirical and I like Rick and Morty.

>>9144099
I get it, you're distinguishing yourself from normies because you're *below* average intelligence and can't understand how to make consistent statements about reality.

>>9143346
Things autists say:
>Rick and Morty is bad

That show isn't really about science which you autists all get tangled up in. There's a deeper meaning--partly about character development around a seemingly nihilistic, humorously blunt, eccentric, depressed, and drunk old man.

It also puts many social situations into perspective, and adequately depicts many absurd traits found in human and particularly teen culture.

>>9144126
>That show isn't really about science
^This, Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland clearly don't care about science at all, I don't know why everyone on 4chan is under the impression Rick and Morty is the cartoon version of Big Bang Theory or something where they're trying to be a smart show with science references for wannabe nerds when the "science" they actually reference is always just lazy justification for introducing fantastical plots.

>IQ is a definite and unchangeable measure of intelligence
That's what IQ is supposed to be like when the tests assessing it are doing their job properly. It was only considered useful in the first place because of the premise that it would be stable over a lifetime. It's more normie to believe you're supposed to be able to change it because normies can't accept hopelessness as a real possibility.

>>9144084

It's both. The "rules of the game" are invented, the >implications of those rules are discovered.

how you nigs miss teh biggest 1 of all time?
that glass noticeably sags as it gets older


also normies fail to realize driving is the most dangerous thing most people do every day, and that when shit goes wrong, it will happen fast, and your survival can be completely out of your hands

>>9144292

How is this the biggest misconception? Yes it's wrong but it's understandable, glass DOES flow, albeit far too slowly to notice after just a few hundred years, and medieval windowmakers put the thick part of the glass at the bottom consistently, giving the impression that it had flowed.

>>9144281
>>9144262

It's a measure of a type of intelligence, "g" or general / problem-solving intelligence. It is in fact pretty stable, after you reach full maturity your IQ declines very slowly until death but a measurement at age 25 should be nearly the same as a measure at age 60, assuming it is an actual measure and not an online multiple choice shitshow.

>>9144268

It's not so much that everything IS subjective as that we are forever contained within our own subjectivity, and so cannot ever hope to determine whether or not it is the fact that everything actually is subjective.

>"We find that particles have to cooperate to move: if one particle can move a little ways, then one of its neighboring particles can move into the space left behind by the first particle; and then perhaps a third particle can follow the second particle, and so on. The more glass-like the sample is, the more particles cooperate at the same time. However, it takes longer and longer times before we see one of these cooperative events. Thus, it is possible that when all of the particles have to cooperate in order for any of them to move, you have a glass. Perhaps the time between cooperative rearrangements diverges, as well as the number of particles needed to cooperate, and it is the divergence of these two dyanamical quantities that distinguishes a glass from a liquid. Our data isn't inconsistent with this hypothesis -- which is a weasly scientist way of saying we have no idea if this really happens, but it's an intriguing idea that could be possible, so I mention it here on this web page. At least, the possibility is one reason why I find this interesting."

There is no such thing as subjectivity because an objective truth does exist.
Subjectivity implies it's not possible to be wrong, but it is. It doesn't matter if "we are forever contained within our own subjectivity" because the objective reality exists and you can still be wrong. No one having the right answer doesn't mean they stop having wrong answers.

All of this sounds like conjecture you could come up with in a night on Wikipedia. Your claims are rather outlandish.

>>9144396
>There is no such thing as subjectivity because an objective truth does exist.

>1
Prove an objective reality exists. I'll wait.
>2
Even if you could prove that (and you can't), that still doesn't mean subjectivity doesn't exist. Subjective just means "from your point of view", are you telling me you don't experience anything? Are you an automaton, or a philosophical zombie?

>Subjectivity implies it's not possible to be wrong

No, it doesn't. It just means you can never know with full 100% certainty whether you are right or wrong.

>>9144094
The normie perception is that common concentrated acids like sulfuric, nitric, etc. will fizz a hole through your hand on contact when really it would have to be submerged in the shit for hours. Not even HF will do that; it will quicker than the rest, but you'll be long dead before you see that if you spill that much HF on yourself.

Yes, there is stuff like flouroantimonic acid, Caro's acid, chlorosulfuric, O2F2, etc. But that stuff is rare with niche uses.

/tv/ is quite possibly THE most autistic biard on 4chan, more so even than /v/. I'm not sire what it is about tv and film that attracts autistic retards but fuck do they love their incredibly tired memes and endless threads about garbage """programs""" like Pickle & Morty and Game of Cucks.

>>9145328

If it did, it would STILL be subjective, you dope.

>>9145349

Eh, maybe try contacting your local University psych department, see if they have any grad students looking to practice administering IQ tests. Otherwise, you'll have to pay someone.

It's the other way around, mate. Beliefs and emotions in the form of synapses control the chemicals in the brain. Adding more chemicals will only drug you up and not actually change your beliefs or something.

>>9144281
It really isn't, m8. You can easily find studies cmproving how IQ changes over time or how it changes depending on long-term conditions (childhood, socioeconomic status, etc) or short-term conditions (time of the day, emotional state).

>>9144301
Normie brainlet spotted.

>>9145843
This. Hormones and neurotransmitters are just symbols through which our neural system represents and communicates emotions. If you pump a neurotransmitter into your system, you just interferes with this system of communication and make your neurons believe your internal state is something different from what it actually is. A simplistic analogy would be that neurons are constantly sending out "happy" or "sad" words into your bloodstream based on their internal state, and drugs just indiscriminately pump in "happy" words into your system and fuck up the communication between neurons.

except for a couple of retards, no. the vast majority on fit defend carbohydrates, and never even mentions the 8 glasses rule.
