What is the most compelling proof of modern evolution?

What the fuck is a "modern evolution"? Either way, here's your threadly reminder that random mutation + natural selection supposedly accounting for the entire variety of life on the planet is not just inherently unprovable, but actually disproved by modern genetic knowledge.

>>What the fuck is a "modern evolution"?
I thought it was obvious. Evolutionary adaptations specifically to modern circumstances. Such as, dogs with very long snoots having evolved this adaptation in response to pringles cans.
>>
most animals are the same since last big ice age, about 12,000 years ago, that's not modern per se, but real evolution move at geological age
we can have some adaptations but take modern humans, that's 50,000 years 4x longer than the disappearance of megafauna

All that shit's fake. If you want the real deal, listen to things that are posted one time on /pol/ and get glowniggers livid. There is an underground base beneath the Pyrenees that connects the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean Sea. The rich kiddy diddlers didn't think anyone knew about it.

The biggest non-secret that the rich and their glownigger pets are desperate to keep is that the breakaway "civilization" (they're barbarians, they're not civilized) is actually miles underground. All those "UFOs" you hear about exiting and entering water? That's because they put their entrances to these bases deep underwater. Easier to hide them that way. EVERY conspiracy theory stupid idea you have ever heard exists to protect these DUMBS (which are not exclusively military). They are great cities where the rich have "retired" to while they allow the surface world to decay into devil-worship and swarthoid dysfunction.

They are spotted in the ocean because of I wanted to do a crew exchange in a craft that's not supposed to exist, instead of landing it at an air base, I might use submarines to facilitate crew exchanges. There are a few old stories floating around about weird crew members being onboard attack subs that no one was allowed to talk to, and then they mysteriously vanish from the boat one day in the middle of the ocean.

In India people believe common cold is when water seeps in through the scalp inside the skull and comes out of the nose. They have special powders on sale to prevent this from happening. They apply these powders on babies. See link below.

Indians do not believe in germ theory, this is why hygiene is not very important. People who insist on hygiene is seen as having a form of OCD. Indians also think non-germ-theoretic pseudoscience like homeopathy was invented in India even though it is from Switzerland. Scientific medicine is called English medicine but swiss homeopathy is OK.

It is an upside down world. I am not sure Indians are conscious beings. They are probably the p-zombies we speak of in philosophy

People will seek to confirm their biases by being selective about the science they recognise. This isn't anything new. India is still impoverished and developing. Having TVs and smartphones isn't going to reverse years of educational neglect in the span of two generations. Just because they're literate and able to use the internet shouldn't put your expectations that high.

They're quite unlucky that their old beliefs are this detrimental to their health and worldwide reputation. There's many countries on India's level of development who hold on to their old beliefs, but those beliefs aren't as pronounced or laughable (from a western standpoint).

You could easily compare them to muslims on the terms mentioned above. Muslims love cleanliness for religious reasons, so they agree with germ theory because it confirms their cultural bias. At the same time, they reject other parts of modern knowledge which would undermine their belief in Allah.

The same principle applies to westerners. Look at abortion laws. They're dictated by religious and cultural norms from hundreds of years ago. Meanwhile China doesn't give a shit and just lets you do it.

Yo
Any confirmed (or suspecting to be) neurodivergents here with above average IQ/intellegence?

Wanna share something about yourself here?
Are you bipolar? Autistic? ADHD? Chronically depressed asf? What are you?

Im currently doing a research and i need this rare and valuable information from anyone who can be described as above. Im asperger myself, so dont be shy.

I tried looking on reddit due to how easy is it to search for information, but reddit is shithole and filled with bots and dumb midwits. I tried looking for high iq + neurodivergent, but whenever i was doxing people who claimed that they are "gifted" they were just larping midwits most of the times. One dude claimed to have AuDHD and 140 iq, but i found more info about his life and he lives with his family and just has typical autistic (stereotypical, "dumb" type) interests without anything "gifted" in his life. He is just dumb, autistic redditor that larped as gifted, wasted some time thinking that i found a gem yet it was just larping nigger

So. Dear anon. Mind sharing something about yourself? Would be appreciated. This place has a lot of smart people, so i hope you will write something about yourself? Dont be shy.
In advance, thanks for your effort.

Remeber anon, Gary loves you.

Have you ever tried doing that with a film camera yourself? Do you have any idea how difficult it is? No.
For one you need a solid mount. You also need a long exposure, film is much less sensitive than modern detectors. And you cannot stack in a computer like digital cameras. So you need a tracking mount. And then you need fast lens and a high speed film (ISO). Did astronauts have these things? No.

And there is no if, you can see the stars for yourself in these images. And Apollo used a sextant, with an eyepiece.

“Alien life exists elsewhere. The odds are just too good.”

“But alien life visiting us? No. Impossible. It could never happen.”

Are scientists just retarded?.

“No you can’t come here. We’re off limits. No way no how. Cope.”

It’s fucking weird.

Do scientists not consider successor theories to our own limitations? Do they think our limitations are everyone else’s limitations?

IQ doesn't matter when you are a fry cook.

There may be differences in potential for intelligence, but the actual advancement of intelligence comes in discontinuous leaps, otherwise known as "leap time", the more willing a person is to enter the unknown, and persist through confusion towards learning to understand a thing, the more significant overcoming that initial confusion being transmutated into advancing intellect it is. This means the most intelligent thing to do is to disregard the parameters of initial potential for intelligence, and the more important it is for a willingness to subject yourself to brutally complicated learning opportunities, because latent genetic potential for intelligence doesn't mean shit if it isn't exercised into actualization of obtaining knowledge through trial.

Locke was wrong. Humans do not have Tabula Rasa, because if they did, all IQ would be the same, and all animals would have blank slates that they could be trained to build skyscrapers with from blueprint to construction with the proper rollout of experience, but that is not the case. We do not have monkeys that can design and build skyscrapers no matter how much you train their blank slates to do so. This means Liebniz was absolutely correct, there is innate structure specifically unique to the human mind that allows for abstraction and memory recall that other animals do not possess in the same potential.

The only reason why Locke's ideas took root over Liebniz is because Godless heathens can work with the falsehood of Tabula Rasa, whereas Liebniz' ideas cannot.

The Chinese haven't been poor in a long time and they've been pouring money into R&D for a while. Look at recent technological races, all have been won by the USA/EU
1. The Nobel price for the COVID vaccine came from a Hungarian living in the USA and another American. The vaccine was developed by American pharmaceutical firms.
2. The AI race was set off in America and funded by the ginormous 69 trillion dollar American equity market. The Chinese compete on low-end and efficient models by stealing American research and evading export bans on American hardware.
3. The race to nanometer scale features was started in the USA and ultimately carried to completion by ASML, a Dutch company. The more complex parts of the supply chain also relies on other American and German companies. Chinese research in this area is still in the 2000s by comparison.
4. The Americans are going to the Moon. Again. This year. Need I say more?
There were three Nobel prices awarded to citizens of the PRC. One in medicine in 2015. Another in Literature in 2012. And the last one for Peace in 2010 for the struggle against China's authoritarian state. There were more STEM Nobel prices won by ethnic Chinese born in the USA.
Unless you can prove there will be a change in status quo, the status quo will remain. If funding was all you needed for Nobel prices, South Korea would have had citizen with a STEM Nobel price by now. Tiny European countries of a couple million are outdoing the work of billions of people.

Yeah. It is, in fact, the most authoritative source on what causes the intuition of time and what happens when you can't sense time anymore. The fact that you can still operate in the world without losing your mind or getting yourself killed is a pretty conclusive refutation of Kant's take, regardless of your (in)ability to analyze what's happening when you're in that state.
