Law of explosion says a logical contradiction always leads to a deductive explosion.
x=-x is the arithmetic description of a self-contradicting (ie self-negating) arithmetic logic element.
Arithmetic axioms mandate the logical contradiction x=-x at x=0 because 0=-0 thus 0 can only be described as an oxymoronic valueless value.
As a paradoxical consequence of 0=-0 as an origin number, completion of the arithmetic system necessitates leaps of the imagination that introduces complexity which infers x=-x for all x:x = x*1 = sqrt(x*x)*sqrt(1*1) = x*sqrt(-1*-1) = x*sqrt(-1)*sqrt(-1) = x*i*i = x*i^2 = -x.

Arithmetic is a numerical explosion of logic, all statements of truth made by arithmetic are trivial truths among infinite truths because its original number is a self negating logical contradiction that imbues self contradiction upon all values.
The Standard Model of Physics is an emergent property of arithmetic by way of geometry, any models produced by physics, such as strings, rings, lies, groups, manifold, quantum foam or ultimately big bang, rely on arithmetic that is irrational at its core 0=-0 and not an accurate reflection of nature, by definition of logical contradiction and through the consequences described by the law of explosion.

Total incoherence is at the most extreme poles where zero and infinity might as well be equivocated in their trivial projections.
0 = 0 x 0 x ...
infinity = infinity x infinity x ...

Arithmetic/Physics is either illogical and irrational without making completely measurable predictions about nature or nature is illogical and irrational without being hindered by paradox or quantification predictions being infinitely trivial.

This is why the best physics explanation is called a big bang, it is not a big natural bang, but a big numerical bang of arithmetic, geometric, physics, ..., inf, etc explosion based on a logical contradiction.

Evolution in modern man is a fiction.

Homo sapiens Saipan was altered by either a race we would refer to as Pyramid builders or literal off worlders.

Otherwise using "evolution" monkeys should be talking by now and other animals should be starting to build or farm.

Go back and read threads from that era. There was some better top end content but most of it was just as worthless as what's discussed now. And /sci/ never touched the quality of the Space Elevator threads on /pol/.
At least the "Why did he do it?" threads have stopped. Too bad the "Does 1 really equal 0.999..." threads are still common.

Interested in seeing how posters on this board score in comparison to /x/, where the overwhelming majority seem to be schizoid sadists or complete autists living in internal fantasy lands:

>The CIA uses the PAS for the assessment of characters, its self-assessment online form has 64 outcomes and doesn't sugarcoat anything, if you have bad luck, the test will call you out for being schizophrenic, a recluse, or worse.
https://www.pasf.org/pasq/index.htm
>To get your type among the 64, take the 'primitive' test first and then type your results into the 'basic' test and take that.

The primitive personality type determines your core personality that you developed as a child, while the second test determines whether you outgrew that core personality to adapt well to society, or whether you indulged those core behaviours to become psychologically maladaptive or attain some kind of arrested development.

It really does not pull any punches; while an MBTI test will only tell you positive personality traits and leave you to infer the negative, this one is the opposite. Depending on how you score, it will tell you that you're an exceedingly mediocre well-behaved citizen (one of the best endings) or have the profile of a serial killer, autistic shut-in or concentration camp guard.

I don't think these tests are bullshit per se.
The bullshit part is that you are the one answering questions about yourself, and the vast majority lack self-awareness.
It would be far more accurate if others answered the questions for you.

Back then there was a lot more open space. You go to the north because as a young adult you go where you do. Then winter comes and if you aren't already prepared you literally freeze to death.

All available data and every persons personal life experience both show that different races have different average IQs, but a lot of people would really prefer if it wasn't true, so there are tons of excuses people have made up to handwave away the reality of the situation.
