Evolutionary speaking, what's the purpose of a high IQ?Is a high IQ useless beyond a certain threshold?
>>16146289Not really, no. /sci/ convinced me to take an IQ test and I got 130, I am good at puzzles and stuff like that. No one really comments on my IQ one way or another irl thoughever.
>>16146244Your graph doesn't have anything to do with IQ. There's high and low IQ people in all of those professions. Women don't usually care about IQ one way or another. Most of them select their mates based on their mates' EQ. A competent doctor, lawyer, or financial advisor TYPICALLY has a higher EQ than a competent engineer or scientist. >Is a high IQ useless beyond a certain threshold?The concept of usefulness is entirely man-made. Evolution isn't a form of consciousness with an agenda like this. You've anthropomorphized the blind process of biological change regulated via power dynamics.
>>16146244>women hate scienceWhy is it every fucking thing I learn about women makes me convinced easily 99% of them are barriers to any kind of constructive and civilised society?Not to say most men shouldn't also be thrown into a woodchipper and make the world a better place, but at least men seem to have more of an appreciation for things of value. Women have the same appreciation for knowledge and exploration as niggers (i.e. none). Woman is the nigger of gender.
>>16146733Everyone has to mature and learn to appreciate things of value. Men are more reason-based, so they default to appreciating things with some kind of structural value, but they don't naturally appreciate things of value which aren't related to structure. Women do, while they don't naturally appreciate things of structural value. Life needs both, and to claim otherwise means you're still a little immature.
>>16146755He does have a point though, if women don't have an appreciation of structural value then womens reproductive selection will put a negative pressure on the advancement of a constructive and civilised society
Could someone explain to me how the second choice isn't the correct one?
>>16146630>In what context?Well, certainly in Bertrand's Box, as I'm sure you'll agree, which is what we were talking about here. But also in the OP problem, which is analogous to it.>>16146634>If you're insistent on the bertrand box analogy, the silver -silver box doesn't exist and has been completely eliminated from the situation because you picked a gold.This is the classic mistake to make with Bertrand's Box, too.I've changed my mind. You are unambiguously wrong, and I've realised your mistake. You might be correct if all you know about the urn is that it has some amount of green and some amount of red. In that case, indeed, the most you can say is that green has now become a fraction more likely, unless there was no green to begin with. But because you know how the urn was prepared, you have more information, and this information renders it precisely analogous to Bertrand's Box. Because being given an urn that is randomly prepared as described is functionally identical to picking one random urn from 101 urns which together contain every possible combination of 100 red and green balls. And this means you can (and indeed, must) take into account the probability of having selected red in the first place - and thus, the infinitesmal gain in likelihood of picking green is offset by the overwhelming likelihood that the urn you have has more red in it to begin with. We do not know which of the 101 possible urns we have, but we do know the likelihood of each one. Unambiguously, then, we can state that the odds of drawing a red ball next are greater than the odds of drawing green.
>>16142479Really nice way of solving the problem. Finally a good post on this board, thanks anon.
>>16141656(1 + 1)/(1 + 0 + 2) = 66% red
>>16146634>The next coin you pick (out of the remaining one coin) is...... more likely to be gold, duh. Everyone knows this.
>>16146617Literally the only not retarded post in this thread, amidst a sea of retarded code monkeys who can't even simulate the correct problem
Does fine tuning imply multiverses with different physics?
>>16146776Probabilities is how we gauge nature when we lack perfect information. You can't talk about "causality" in how the physics we observe were created because we have no information on that.
>>16146781the tiniest little bit of information can massively throw the whole chance calculation off. don't care about stressing on what we now think the chances for some shit were.
>>16143061If multiverses exist, then this argument works.Which is self refuting. So, no. Ad hoc and we get to where we started.>>16145379No, you can have infinite regression. Which makes it probable. This just makes it equivalent to the big bounce, though,
>>16146785Correction to picrel
>>16143061"fine tuning" is literally nothing. made up bs
why were doctors forcing vax on everyone when covid became nothing burger soon after?
Why did COVID become a nothingburger soon after doctors forced the vax on everyone?
This is quite literally the worst fucking board. Every fucking thread is some retarded /pol/ rapefugee bait.
$$$$>>16143606people were not allowed to attend classes and lost their jobs over it, not to mention the massive social shaming media campaign. saying "nobody forced anyone" is such bullshit.
>>16144882New Mexico tried to restrict grocery stores to only those who were injected. Los Angeles wanted to cut off the water and power of those who refused the injections. It's crazy how crazy the crazies got so quickly.
>>16143558the covid fiasco was never an issue to begin with, it's a political one as 99% of people who get it don't even feel anything serious, just a cold for them.they forced lockdown and vaccinated everyone to smash trump chance of election and profiteered from selling the vaxx to everyone because pfizer spent so much money to develop it. pfizer was expecting to vaccinate everyone forever but people got tired of the covid retard propaganda bullshit. now pfizer stocks are going to 0 because of lost trust.the medical doctors niggers followed directives from big pharmas because they got paid like $50 per shot.it's that simple.

>>16146607bump
>>16146607God does not exist and has no relevance to modern science. Now go back to your containment board, ince;l.
>>16146754>God does not exist and has no relevance to modern science.>/sci/ = science and mathCope and seethe. You have yet to show how this argument fails.
>>16146754>God does not exist and has no relevance to modern science.Listen here fedora, you don't know God doesn't exist. You don't even know what God is. God is absolutely relevant to modern science, and God has always been relevant to all science. The more we understand the world around us, the closer we get to God. You don't have to believe that, you don't even have to believe in God. You can believe in a meme religion for all I care. The thing you fail to understand is concept of God.That said, OP is a fag.
is evolution /sci/entific?
>>16146772>No, we do not know.Those of us who are actually paying attention to the data we currently have do know.>IndustrializationI was referring to evolution.
>>16146779>data we currently haveData changes, our understanding of that data changes. There is no data on a soul that confirms or denys.>evolutionEvolution is a byproduct of industrialization. Where evolution falls flat is the one common ancestor, that single celled organism. It has never been observed without external force to mutate into a multicellular organism. With an external force involved being the only observable way, that seems to imply intelligent design. And now there's data supporting the young earth theory and data against the big bang. The Webb Telescope has done some very interesting things.
>>16146786>There is no data on a soul that confirms or denys.are we talking about the religious soul? because there's no scientific data for thatare we talking about the closest real thing to a religious soul? that's completely something else and we may have something thereabouts(*)I don't want to argue for the religious version, there's no reason to, here, with no scientific info on it.
>>16146789Fagging a 2 into a zero calibration to do.
>>16146790I will be on Twitter today.
Is being gay definitely natural?>it's been observed in other animals!Never in my life have I seen gay dogs or cats. Do I really trust "papers" published in the past century?>kids from good non-abusing families can grow up to be gay!Yes so that means something else caused it.>there's no such thing as a gay gene!Exactly
>>16144939that was the gayest bullshit I've ever read
>>16144932kek>>16146701fuckin retard
>>16145140>it's not a thing you are born with or that you can inheritlegit question then, how does the environment make you gay?also consider that they found the sexual neural network in rat brains. if they stimulate it a certain way the mice turn homosexual. couldn't there be some misfiring issues in the brain of a homosexual? and what is the scientific freedom of working on such research considering politics and all that?
>>16144939>>16144926Its unnatural since its against the purpose of the organs, the intestines are not a sexual organ.The consequences is that gays while being a tiny minority are 83% of syphilis cases, most of hiv, 99% of monkeypox, most of anal cancer, and it goes on and on. Its a biohazard, bad for societies, which is why it was always a shunned behavior.Also no one is born intestine attracted, on the contrary, by default everyone is disgusted by all things intestine related. Perversions are spread through exposure. For example, constant exposure through porn made men want to sodomise their women. Sexuality/sex is that which drives the union of the male and female gametes, everything else is paraphilia/perversion.
>>16146701THEN WHY AM I LIKE THIS?!?!
Prove the Pythagorean theorem without using a circular argument. That means no trigonometry, brainlets.
>>16145451>the first two squares become rectangles that fit perfectly into the third square because muh theorem is true thats just more circular reasoning, you don't understand how proofs are supposed to work
>>16123455Ok read to get rekt OP?pythagorean theorem = TrueBooooooom 360 head shot
you can prove trigonometry from complex analysis thoughbeit. you can define sin(z) and cos(z) in terms of exp(iz) and exp(-iz) to prove that sin^2 + cos^2 = 1from there, you can use rotation invariance to prove that distance to the origin is constant on paths parametrized by (r sin(t), r cos(t))
>>16146595Using exponential definition of sin and cos, how do you show these functions are related to triangles?
let x and y be orthogonal vectors. Then (x,y)=0. if z is the vector x+y, then ||z||^2 = (z,z) = (x+y,x+y) = (x,y) + (y,y) = ||x||^2 + ||y||^2if we denote the lengths of x,y,z by a,b,c the result is proved

>>16145439I thought you had some real experiences in software?
>>16141798Depends on the field and what you want to do after. The prestige of Oxford holds weight outside of research. Inside research the name and prestige of your thesis supervisor holds more weight.

What causes dreams? Do hormonal urges affect dreams?>She could have had a baby, but instead science gave her an abortionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzFFtBsl5ps
>>16116535>and lower quantity of people.nope. smart women all have 10+ kids
>>16143446Those ones aren't necessarily smart, they have hormonal urges that drive their desire to breed, they also have government welfare programs bribing them to have children if they're unmarried.
>>16068832They want to have children, but nobody wants to be their husband because of their repulsive university educated personalities.
>>16145794What sane man would want to have a relationship with a feminist? Feminists hate men
>>16071721you are not sociopathic you just hate women and want them to suffer for not behaving as you feel they should and having sex with you specifically.If you were sociopathic you'd do this globally, but you do not, because this specific case has appeal to you for cognitive hormonal reproductive reasons.To summarize it for your intellect level, you hate them because you are the same.

>Last September, astronomers in Japan detected a series of objects in the Kuiper Belt – described by the BBC as a "doughnut shaped region of icy bodies" beyond the orbit of Neptune – that had unusually warped orbits around the Sun. Researchers Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin, from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, speculated that only a massive planet's gravitational pull could explain these "orbital anomalies", said Live Science.>Then in February, scientists narrowed down the "likely hiding" place of the "elusive" planet after they "whittled away" 78% of the "hypothetical world's suspected orbital pathway", said Philip Plait in Scientific American.https://theweek.com/science/the-hunt-for-planet-nine>If things go at this rate, it might take about a decade [to find].Quote from 4.5 years agohttps://youtu.be/pe83T9hISoY
>>16146010it would be nice if planet 9 turned out to be a rocky planet but we all know it's going to be a frozen neptune-like slush ball
>>16146628I hope it’s a black hole, if it was, we could use it to slingshot to nearby solar systems with out needing technology too much better than what we have now for space flight.Secondly, it might spawn a second space race, wether it’s a black hole or a rocky planet with a thick atmosphere that is potentially habitable
>>16139554>Planet 9 close to being foundPluto was discovered almost 100 years ago, retard.
>>16146707if we need a blackhole it will be a blackhole. if we need it the universe provides
>>16146707a black hole would be cool if only for all the rich tards who will try to enter it thinking it's a gateway to another universe or a way to become immortal.
With few exceptions academia wholeheartedly refuses to talk about this subject and racial supremacists aren't exactly objective. Obviously we can be diverse in physical size and appearance. I'm more interested in IQ and temperament which have been proven to be at least partly influenced by genes.
>>16146254is that a map from the 20th century?theres wolves all over Washington & Oregon, they're in northern Cali and Nevada too.

>>16145875>the best thing to everAbsolutely false. The Industrial Revolution shattered humanity. We are forever closer and closer to playing God. The technology we have will lead the Earth to ruin. Not by climate, but by consumption. We have finite resources. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.
