With so much historical, archaeological, and geological evidence to back it, why do many still doubt there was a massive global flood in the not-too-distant-past?

People in the ancient world initially built cities underwater because they hadn't yet discovered that building their infrastructure on dry land was a better strategy for creating civilization than submerged construction was. It wasn't until about 10000bc that someone got the idea for building cities above the water line.

My primary goals are :
>Automation
>Industriousness
>Imperialism
and i seek to achieve them at the lowest industrially acceptable (((ethical))) standard legally possible. Why does the indigenous population of every country keep trying to stifle progress at the expense of "muh morals" or "muh overbearing polution" ( the effect of which are mostly exaggerated and exploited by 'activists', media companies, and food production corporations )? Can you imagine where we'd be without the interference of these pesky luddites?

Call yourself what you will. I'm only interested in whether or not you can describe the person or group of people who "don't want" you. Or whether it's a generic feeling of being bullied that perennially transcends DNA.

Why do clever dogs like border collies generally have much smaller brains than dumb brutish dogs such as pitbulls? Like I've seen pitbulls with human sized brains but they never seem to listen or do complex tricks like dogs with brains the size of McDonald's burgers.

He was careful to eat uranium oxide which is relatively inert, so he would shit it out. Uranium metal or something more chemically active might absorb into the body and give cause something resembling lead poisoning. Uranium itself is pretty weakly radioactive so he would shit it out or get heavy metal poisoning before he accumulated enough to cause issues

Good news fellow environmentalists!
Regions regions that the scientist said were going to become arid wastelands due to increased atmospheric CO2 are instead becoming healthier than they ever were before.
Sure is nice to see nature becoming so vigorous and robust. Are all my fellow environmentalists happy to see this? Of course they are, only someone who hates nature would be upset to see nature getting healthier.

You're attacking the source because you can't refute the central part of the argument being made and the fact that you can't refute the central part of the argument being made means that you're as much as admitting that it is correct.

No dumbass, I'm attacking the source (or lack thereof) because meaningful discussion is based upon sharing and comparing multiple well-vetted sources.

I want the good news, just like you. The subject of your thread is interesting and one I would like to learn more about.

I think you replied to the wrong post.

Mainstream health advice is telling us that any amount of sun exposure is harmful and carcinogenic and therefore we should wear sunscreen or UV blocking clothing at all times. The US and Australian governments officially endorse this belief, and probably other governments as well I can't remember at the moment.

How true is it really?

I have trouble believing that any amount of sun exposure is potentially harmful considering how modern this view is. For millennia people did not all die of skin cancer and many thought sun exposure was good for you. While health authorities sometimes accept that some amount of sun exposure is good for you, they always say it's only a little bit of sun exposure and insist you still wear sunscreen.

Something else I know is that in the past several decades myopia rates have been greatly increasing, and myopia can be caused by a lack of time outside. Could our discouragement of going outside be causing myopia?

Lmao have you ever been severely sunburned? What is your definition of harmful?

For millennia, if you lived in sunny areas, you either were black or you covered your skin from the sun. All desert cultures are either black skinned or have skin coverings that they wear most of the time. It's how it's always been.

Is there a name for this cope? Why do genetic dead ends always want to imagine that they're some how superior to people who lead successful lives?
If genetic dead ends didn't devote themselves to coping mechanisms they'd have the possibility of improving themselves to the point that they didn't end up as genetic dead ends, yet instead they insist on developing fantasies and copes that prevent themselves from self improvement and condemn themselves to being genetic dead ends, why?

Hypothesis:
Since the planet is generally cooling off since the height of the current interglacial period, sea level should be falling currently.
And observational evidence shows that sea level is currently falling.
Hypothesis proved true

https://theconversation.com/when-scientific-citations-go-rogue-uncovering-sneaked-references-233858

A recent study has exposed a method of artificially inflating citation counts through "sneaked references," which are extra citations included in metadata but not in the actual text of articles. This manipulation, uncovered in journals by Technoscience Academy, distorts citation metrics that are critical for research funding and academic promotions. The Conversation reports:
The investigation began when Guillaume Cabanac, a professor at the University of Toulouse, wrote a post on PubPeer, a website dedicated to post-publication peer review, in which scientists discuss and analyze publications. In the post, he detailed how he had noticed an inconsistency: a Hindawi journal article that he suspected was fraudulent because it contained awkward phrases had far more citations than downloads, which is very unusual. The post caught the attention of several sleuths who are now the authors of the JASIST article. We used a scientific search engine to look for articles citing the initial article. Google Scholar found none, but Crossref and Dimensions did find references. The difference? Google Scholar is likely to mostly rely on the article's main text to extract the references appearing in the bibliography section, whereas Crossref and Dimensions use metadata provided by publishers.

In current LLM world you can make your response extra spicy by adding context, like a filter or magnifying glass atop the AI. A way to make these filters is called RAG. By scraping 4ch /sci/ with chromadb, langchain and a locally deployed bigscience/bloom model from hugging face ill make a bunch of these filters. I will charge a small subscription fee to access these filters, but if you append an ethereum address to the name field, you will accumulate some good boi points if i scrape your comment. Additionally if a user uses this filters and it returns your comment as a source, you will earn extra good boi points.

I meed to do this for work anyways

The labor theory of value was proven to be a sham. The market has valued Science! as a high value product and pays for it. Quiet simply, rich people pay scientists to work for them, they provide them with the neccessary tools and pay their salaries, as they believe that scientific work is worth a lot more than what it costs to pay scientists and their tools.
