Consciousness is the product of some quantum effect
>>16148420well that's due to participants not being fucking honest and trying to hide behind language, for retarded gotchas that don't contribute anything to the topic. the idea is to convey information, you can do it, you can take a bit longer and develop some concept where simple words wouldn't do it justice
>>16148421Oh ain't you happy we changed the topic to coprophagia? Finally a subject where can contribute with your experience.

>>16148399I was gonna shitpost and say "its hard to build circles" but then I remembered how easy it is in pressure vesselry.
>>16147707>interest rates are actually NEGATIVEYou mean, real interest rates are negative. Nominal interest rates certainly aren't.Real interest rates are positive rn, they are higher than inflation

What kinds of genes are currently being selected for in humanity? I notice that none of the educated professionals in their mid-30s around me have more than 1 child. From surveys, the more educated and higher income have less kids. The poorest and less educated have the most kids. Religious groups have a lot of kids, my neighbors growing up were some weird Christian sect and they had 11 kids. The most technologically advanced people, Japanese and South Koreans are having no kids and their population will collapse soon. I'm evolutionary terms what's happening to the species?
>>16147854you're /pol/shilling through your teeth.>muh jewish fairy tale tards are breeding>muh idealized asian waifu's aren't breeding>muh catabolic collapse.Fuck off.
religions are eugenic vehicles those that embody the ideals of the religion tend to reproduce morefirst you must identify the religion and its ideals
>>16147838>I'm evolutionary terms what's happening to the species?Brown religious low-IQ conservatives do all the breeding, so that's what's in future for humanity.

The social ones. So everything is working as intended.
Look at this shit. How is science different from voodoo priests saying voodoo is proven true because another voodoo priest said so? Or a Wikipedia article saying something is true because Salon said it’s true and Salon said it’s true because Wikipedia said it’s true? (Someone initiated the circular reference and then it becomes self-perpetuating)Science is in salvageable and scientists are net negative impact 105 iq assburgers thinking they’re much smarter than they really are. They also believe they’re at the end of history at any given moment, again because of midwitism. This allows them to justify any atrocity, and never consider any evidence outside their established narrative.

I have asked this multiple times and no one has ever given me a straight answer:What astrophysical evidence would even possibly count as evidence that the universe is infinitely old? My understanding of the history of western thought is presuming the universe has/has no beginning is fundamentally a theological or metaphysical concern. No amount of finite evidence will ever confirm one over the other because the finite age can always be pushed back one layer of explanation so as to make sense with all of the observations made. What is the consensus on this dilemma in the theoretical physicist community? The way I see it is science simply has no say on whether the universe began to exist, unless scientists inject some metaphysical philosophy into their own theory.
>>16147615so there is no evidence that the universe has a beginning at all?
>>16147853No. Just that it was smaller. And because of the current state of the universe and the way expansion is assumed to work then the universe likely expanded from a very small space, possibly smaller than a single atom. That helps explaining why stuff is so uniform over the whole observable universe, extremely rapid expansion from an extremely small size. That's the big bang theory of course, but it doesn't say where the universe came from, only that at some point about 13 billion years ago it was a tiny ball of pretty much just energy, it was too dense and too hot to form atoms etc. So that ball of energy either appeared out of nowhere, or it was there forever, or it was the end state of a possible previous universe, or some other unknown reason.
>>16147523one model is that it's pulsing, and could have been for insanely many cycles. supposedly there could be some leakage from previous one, in CMB. but it becomes a question of how much anyway, so we won't be able to peer back 5 cycles ago at some Earth-like planet or something.or could be like a full reset for everything including causality, right after completely collapsing and right before starting expanding again.
>>16147523Good question. Led me down a small rabbit hole.As >>16148020 said, our direct measurements are that the universe was smaller and hotter before, which our models then turn into a timeframe.But we do also have entropic measurements of the CMB; roughly ~10^89 Kb. It's likely too difficult to create an entropic evolution model into a timeframe, but it should be able to give a maximum constraint. This is where the lack of large primordial black holes plays a big role. As the universe ages, more and more of it will be in large entropy gravity wells. This is a constraint against infinity for our universe.However, this doesn't necessarily rule out that there was universes before ours, before our cosmic inflation, that kept entropy the same but reduced its density, before our big bang, that returned gravity and black holes to the universe. And there may well be echoes of the prior universe! https://www.livescience.com/63392-black-holes-from-past-universes.html
>>16147523>the absence of evidence isn’t the evidence of absence You are asking a question that is not easily answered and because its not easily answered you feel you can reject it as a possibility, which is odd because gravity is still a concept in science but yet you wouldn’t go around saying “Gravity not real”.What truly triggers me is people like you, with not an iota of scientific training or background making the most elaborate dumbass logic-trap attempts and only end up trapping yourself

>$200k a year engineering job with bonuses and per diems >traveling 8 months outta the yearWould you guys take it?
>>16147471Per diem means travel expenses are paid, right? If so, definitely. Sounds too good to be true though.
>>16147503Yah it’d be like $200 a day in reimburseable expenses. Money is good and all but I will be no-lifing it the entire time.
>>16147471Sucks for your social life, especially if you don't get big breaks or time off when not travelling. That was the worst part of working on a research ship, the crew got months off when we got back to port, I had to go back to a desk job and travel to conferences. It's also really tough to maintain a good diet and fitness when you're constantly in a different place. If you can make the most of travelling it'll be great and it's hard to argue with that salary plus bonuses.
Shouldn't this be enough teaching experience to get a teaching job?
what's it like to be dead?
>>16145414this is the answer.
>>16145602This. Sleep deprevation also works.
>>16146965Yup. If you know you know
The same as not being alive
We just spontaneously popped up out of nothing before when we were born why wouldn't it happen again after we die?
>>16148357I don't think you understand how insane sum that is. It would make it the biggest company in the world by far, right from the start up.
>>16148364Are you being facetious or something?>how is this about science? Doesn’t science require funding?Does Computer Science count as science?Doesn’t discussion of funding relates to both Science and Economics?For a group of anons who claim to be smarter than anyone else especially not white - you and questions like yours makes me believe you aren’t even a graduate of grade school. I won’t respond to you beyond this reply because you’re either;1.) being intentionally stupid2.) pretending not to be as stupid as you actually are
>>16148380Wait - where do I say its a small sum? I explained the context and never once made a statement on the size of figure.I see you want pointless arguments, I don’t.
Brown nosers.

Is it possible to scientifically quantify the value of art by a standard other than the financial value of the artwork?
>>16145993Today, maybe $10k. There are a ton of busts of Octavian that are better preserved. But to Octavian, it was priceless (JK he obviously had this commissioned) to put himself on display for all the plebs, so that they would recognize and revere him. If op is trying to find a formula to quantify the value of art monetarily, this is very difficult, since in all but the last 60 years or so, the main value of art has been it's use as propaganda, and only in rare, advanced societies did the wealthy value art that they didn't commission themselves. My advice to op: get some rich, "cultured" friends.
>>16146405you can actually get them with the nose intact for about $100
>>16147611R You havin a lil troll? I think you're looking at cheap replicas. The one I posted was an authentic museum piece that last sold for $30k
Yes, you can quantify the value by weight or by water displacement. For paintings you can also use surface area.
>>16144559Currently no,In order to find such a baseline we’d have to first quantify the human experience and since there is no mathematical equation to even calculate consciousness yet, I think the “for time being” answer is no.But in the long run, with AGI/ASI, we will be able to do so but by then it will be pointless to focus such effort towards because we’ll be focusing on so much other massively important things that art will not be the focus of equations
The official arbiter of scientific misinformation (appointed by the government controlled by the official Party of Science), Nina Jankowicz, says that the government must crack down on misinformation like sending pictures of empty egg cartons to women. That is “meant to remind [women] that [their] fertility is waning.” And that is “gendered misinformation.”So there you have it. Couldn’t be any more official. Science now believes women stay at the same level of fertility throughout their lives.Science is retarded and clownishly evil. Smash science. Kill science.
>>16146616Yes, by 35 you basically have to start paying fertility specialists and pray. I'm glad my adviser told me this or me and my wife would've waited too long to have kids.
>>16146616True and real. Women after 25 are left overs. Sad but true.
>>16146499What has "science" done to oppose the politicians that you claim have enslaved them?

I'm not racist but I can't wrap my brain around this argument. First off, how to we compare the similarity of populations? Just typical gene frequencies? Then how is it the case that two average representative individuals in two different populations are more similar to each other than that same average individual and a random other member of their own population?

>>161471742500 years ago Hanno the navigator, a major naval figure from Carthage, set sail on one of the great voyages of discovery. He sailed from the Mediterranean out of straights of Gibraltar to explore the coast of Africa with a fleet of 60 ships, he worked his way down the coast past Mauritania to subsaharan Africa where he found that the people all had "burnt skin" which is to say they were negroes. After meeting people like this for a while every time his ships landed he eventually came to an island off the coast of what is now Cameroon that was filled with burnt skin people who were very hairy and extremely unruly. He named this tribe "Gorillas".Because Hanno was not influenced by our modern ideas of species he had to call things as he saw them and he was unable to differentiate between gorillas and African negroes other than that the gorillas were hairier.
