I don't bring this up for any retarded political reason, I believe that homosexuality(or rather, "queerness") became prevalent among humans "intentionally" due to my noticing of the influence of birth order and other inherent traits which are correlated with the "queer" state, and wondered what role this might play, if any.Now, I'm not sure if bisexuals were lumped in with homosexuals for this stat, which would warp things quite a bit(most pedophiles would describe themselves as bisexual if pressed), but in any case, I know that *actual* pedophilia is 11 times more common among male-attracted men than their straight counterparts, making about 22% of queer men pedophilic (this was determined with phallometric testing).I currently think homosexuality served a similar purpose to menopause in that it redirects energy that might otherwise be used to reproduce towards the end of helping their genetic adjacents(children, siblings) survive and reproduce due to that becoming more effecient(queerness is most common among the youngest child in a family). Perhaps giving a sexual motivation for protecting the most vulnerable members of the group allowed these people to fulfill their role most effectively?Any interesting thoughts to add? Please don't just sperg out at the numbers -_-
Sup academics.What is the best way you have personally cheated in higher education, or what is the best cheating story you have? Paraphrasing existing work with Quillbot and passing it of as your own? Saving answers on your T53 and loading macros during proctored exams? Rewriting ChatGPT code and passing it off as your own?>blah blah you didn't earn your degreeOh wellHigher education only. No one cares about high school.
>>16868471Lmao.
cheating in academia means you didn't do the work you said you did, which isn't common since most published material is group effort, your free labor assigend grad student can do it for you and you are already protectedcheating is...actually extra work
>>16870105Is that what they told Jocelyn Bell?
>>16867904Play the politics game. Academia is a political hub. You just have to match the dominant politics and say the buzzwords.
>>16867904Some universities literally don't careespecially for master's students, they let foreign master's students cheat because their tuition is such a big source of revenue

How can my schizophrenia help me in advancing science?
>>16869060>sciencewell, you could study physics cause it's made the fuck up
>>16869060Schizophrenia just means youre consciousness is on a higher level compared to the npc. Use it to debunk evolution and brain consciousness theory
Full blown schizo here. You just see things that are so unbelievable but so elegant and simple and it all makes so much fucking sense. Some of the basics I figured out on my own like the colour of different stars defining the personality so you say of what different life might be like in their solar systems but when you see what's out there it's just so mindblowing there's no limit of words I can say and you'd understand nothing from them. I've been posting my schizo nonsense lately but nobody seems to notice. Like if I tell you there are insectoid robots from outer space that turn themselves into organic life you're just gonna say I'm retarded, but literally the only cool thing about my life are my hallucinations and I know what I see is true. I don't think anyone can become schizo, but my method was basically semen retention, extended periods of not sleeping and a fuckton of weed. Can't just sit around getting high though, you need to have a dynamic lifestlye. You'll meet people and things will line up if all you want is knowledge. Reality is so far beyond what our sci-fi has imagined, and some of our sci-fi wasn't merely imagined. You just wouldn't believe, and nor would I if I hadn't seen some of these things myself. I wish you well.
>>16869116>>16869121>>16869127Sorry I fucking disconnected a million times trying to post. Now I look silly.
>>16869060It is also possible that someone simply gas lit you into thinking that you had Schizophrenia. Have you ever noticed that anything that exposes the Jews is Schizophrenia? >Probably because Hitler was wrong about the monolithic Jewish conspiracy.
Curry's paradox shows that mathematical logic is broken.
>>16865043Curry was a White man.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haskell_Curry
[eqn]\vdash \lambda \langle f,g\rangle:\sigma \leftrightarrow (\sigma\to\tau). (\lambda x:\sigma. fxx)(g\lambda x:\sigma. fxx) : (\sigma \leftrightarrow (\sigma\to\tau))\to\tau[/eqn]
No, dumbass.
[math] \vdash M:(\sigma\leftrightarrow(\sigma\to\tau))\to\tau\ \text{does not conjure }\tau;\ \text{it shows that inhabiting }\sigma\leftrightarrow(\sigma\to\tau)\ \text{already entails }\tau,\ \text{i.e. }(\exists e:\sigma\leftrightarrow(\sigma\to\tau))\Rightarrow(\exists t:\tau).[/math]
>>16869909Seems like undefined behavior to me. The result is undefined and it might make you go crazy.
parallel universes just proved true thanks to chinese researchers.this is nobel prize winning shit
>>16870511>>16870512>>16870582What is this even about? The paper is on arxiv and is titled "Is GW190521 a gravitational wave echo of wormhole remnantfrom another universe?". OP hasn't even posted a link to the article, what a fraud.
>>16870779I didn't post a link to the article because /sci/ users don't read scientific articles. Searching for the link would have been just a waste of my time
>>16870508If infinite parallel universes exist, then they cannot interact with our universe, as their cumulative effect would be similarly infinite.
I do not take physicists seriously. Schizo shit.
>>16870795If you suppose some manner of adjacency requirement and finite adjacent parallel universes then obviously the cumulative effect could be bounded.
>In recent years, technological development of nuclear fusion power generation, also known as the "energy of dreams," has been accelerating both domestically and internationally.>In Japan, the industry is excited by the arrival of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who has been promoting the development.

>>16870821the academics and national labs doing the research are mostly just daycare for highly individualistic narcissists and sociopaths that are massively absolutely neurotic levels of insecure and just doing physics to satisfy their egos (and failing at it). its really sadthe private fusion startup companies are slurpin off that good good billionaire venture capitalist teet while the gettins good my money rn is on Commonwealth Fusion
>>16870807The only thing the LDP needs to do to remain in power is take a hardline stance against immigrants. None of their other promises matter.
Is reality smooth
>>16868282Reality is what humanity defines it to be. If the observer effect holds true then that means that reality is subjective to the humanity. The only reason why there is a probability that light can be a particle or wave is because we impose the observation but using a third party like a sensor removes the ability to choose an outcome. Reality can be smooth if we want it to be if we find a way to control what quantum state a particle collapses into.
>>16870563>If the observer effect holds true then that means that reality is subjective to the humanity.Everyone get a load of this retard.

I see students running through the halls... pulling out hair... cramming... I don't wanna be like that. I want to leisurely browse my textbook in a relaxed pose. Occasionally I will stand up and stretch or take a sip from my water, milk, or tea. When I study with friends I want them to relax too. How can I make this happen? Has anyone ever tried studying while being totally tao te ching zen before? All the experiences I read about or see in media are bundles of nerves

>>16867617Look man I made an observation about unhealthy student behaviors and I’ve seen people burn out and the opposite of burn out is chill out. Then there are some people who never burn out and keep going. These people are chill and I want to be like them and chill out. At the end what matters is results and I want my results to be a sharp relaxed mind that understands the fundamentals and can build on that knowledge and a healthy body that puts what I learned to good use in the field. A scientist who’s half-dead before his career even starts is useless. I want to be alive.
>>16865977Go to the library and actually study everyday. If you don't understand something don't pick up your phone and browse 4chan/etc. If you are capable of this you can get any undergraduate degree you want.
>>16868330>A scientist who’s half-dead before his career even starts is useless. I want to be aliveYour leisurely pace will delay the start of your career so you may still be half dead according to the longer lifespan.And you are squandering neuroplasticity. Your learning pace will slow as you age.Strike while the iron is hot.>I’ve seen people burn outThey aren't necessarily burning out because of trying too hard. The trying hard may be a symptom of struggling to keep up. They are probably burning out after making an assessment of their own capabilities relative to others'.Imagine if it wasn't stem and you wanted to get good at basketball.If you aren't tall enough or young enough you will not be competitive no matter hard you try or how leisurely you try. Most non-retarded people would make the correct decision to give up in that case and pursue something they are more gifted at.Good luck, Sisyphus

/sci/ientistsA question: The Patent SystemNet negative or net positive?Consider all facets.Does this antiquated system slow us down as a civilization or not?
>>16864775>Nah. If you're an individual or small business they cost ~$1600 iirc.Patents are simple intellectual property rights. Once granted, they give you the right to defend them at enormous cost, but nothing more. If the intellectual property is good, it will be copied anyway, either by small companies that will restructure after a lawsuit, or by large companies where you will be dealing with a whole team of lawyers and usually have no idea what is going on behind the scenes in the negotiations.There are part of the neofeudalism of today and the usual scam big business turns anything into.
>>16864801Strictly speaking, it is 20 years from filing, so the 20 years also include the years of prosecution when it was a pending application.
>>16864802>it was a way to protect people who ACTUALLY PRODUCED, BUILT thingsThe pharma industry is based on small startups that develop new active compounds, get a patent on this, do initial testing, and then sell their rights to the big pharma corporations. The reason is that a startup can no longer afford the enormous cost of testing and getting marketing permissions frm FDAA etc. Without patent rights independent of own production, it would not be cost effective to start basic research into new compounds.Also in electronics and consumer goods you have similar situations. Fast moving consumer goods are utterly dominated by a handful of companies such as Unilever and Proctor & Gamble. Startups will not be able to reach that market anymore without the power of the established companies.
>>16868274>>16868274>Without patent rights independent of own production,The other round is that without patents nobody is able to block progress for decades. For consumer goods there are enough copyright protections anyway, and they lasting up to infinity while the basic tech. processes would be free.
>>16868763>block progress for decadesWhen did that ever happen?
