Lol imagine figuring this out now in 2025, 5 years after dancing covid nurses.

My best friend is a faggot. And me and him have had many conversations about how women are just utterly disgusting. If I wasn't so weirded out by having sex with dudes I would totally be a faggot. I've met maybe 3 smart women in my life if you count my grandma. Women are dumb as shit.

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.

Find me a published case where soneone had no detectable neuron activity and survived.
>>
>>16867104
I concede a bunch of monkeys and type-writers put out more inspiring work than the goyim, I contest either the output and activity are analogous to thought or thinking.
1 All thoughts are thoughts, 2 not all words are thoughts, 3 not all thoughts are words
1 identity, 2 example, word generators 3 example, impressions
You may doubt three, but processing can be applied to any of the sensations. Color is easiest to demonstrate for a match-like process to recall things which are of that color. Still another example is pitch or tempo adjustment of a song you presently recollect or even focusing on the different instruments in the arrangement. There are no proprietary activities of the wordcel except for the larger thought poverty of the alternatives.

Now onto the special cases of words and symbols in general. If it is the case that some string contains a thought by itself then 1 one can suppose a transformation and invent a language which holds that all such strings could be such, given some specific processing criteria. 2 This sets up a condition of thought as relations, perhaps mathematical or beyond. This is naively invalid. If such things are 'relations' than this signifier is also which is tautological instead of elucidating. Instead of getting to the destination, the car is in some ditch along the side of the road. This almost exactly describes AI, except for a crucial element of training data, the driver trying to get back to the road.
1. reduce languages to some universal binary form and construct any arbitrary mathematical map
2. the formulation permits any arbitrary definition of meaning to be any string, this general equivalence implies some kind of morphism as underlying meaning

The peculiarity of thought is not found in its expression. But I am speaking of an analogy where relations point to essential character. And in each side is an object that is real and one that is not. The man is thinking and illuminating, but not shining? No.

The Core Difference (Find vs Verify): Problems in the P class are those whose solutions are easy to find and easy to verify. Problems in the NP class only mean the solutions are easy to verify. To this day, nobody has found a fast method (polynomial time) to FIND the solution for NP-Complete problems.
NP-Complete as the "Wall" of Obstruction: NP-Complete problems (like Clique or Subset Sum) are considered the hardest computational problems in the universe. For over 50 years, researchers have tried to solve these problems with P-Time algorithms, but NONE HAVE SUCCEEDED! The absence of a discovered solution is the strongest empirical evidence that fundamentally, FINDING a solution for NPC is much harder than simply CHECKING a solution.
Cosmic Implications: If P = NP, then all the hardest optimization problems in the world—from designing the perfect drug, breaking all modern encryption codes (including banking and military), to creating a super AI—could be solved with relatively fast algorithms. The fact that encryption technology still works and optimization problems are still hard is the real-world evidence that rejects P = NP
The Answer was P = NP

Why is 3/3 equal to 1?

Ok, so 1/3 is 0.33333 forever. 2/3 is 0.6666 forever. So, if that's the case, why is 3/3=1 and not 0.99999 forever? Where does the last little bit get added to 3/3 to have it equal 1?

First we show a rational number is an upper bound on all the truncations of a repeating decimal if and only if it is an upper bound on the subset of truncations which consist of the nonrepeating part followed by a whole number of repetends. The forward implication is trivial; for the backward case, for any truncation of the repeating decimal, append digits until you reach a decimal of the desired form, and since the extended decimal is less than or equal to the upper bound on the subset, so is the original decimal. If we can find a least upper bound on this subset, it is a least upper bound on the whole set.

The truncations in the subset can be written in the form [math]A + \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} B \cdot 10^{-mk} = A + B \frac{1 - 10^{-mn}}{1 - 10^{-m}}[/math] where A and B are non-negative rational numbers and m is the number of digits in the repetend. The number [math]X = A + \frac{B}{1 - 10^{-m}}[/math] is an upper bound. Let y be a rational number smaller than X; to show y is not an upper bound, we need to find an n such that [math]A + B \frac{1 - 10^{-mn}}{1 - 10^{-m}} < y[/math]. This holds iff [math]B \frac{10^{-mn}}{1 - 10^{-m}} < X - y[/math]; if B = 0, it is true for every n. If B > 0, then it holds iff [math]10^{mn} > \frac{B}{(1 - 10^{-m}) (X - y)}[/math], so a sufficient n can be obtained by counting the digits in [math]\left\lfloor \frac{B}{(1 - 10^{-m}) (X - y)} \right\rfloor[/math], dividing by m, and rounding up. Thus X is the desired least upper bound.

1/7 = 0.142857..
why is this important, after 6 unique digits the number repeats the same 6 digits, this is the only clue we have of our numerical system's finality, therefore 3.333... is only 3.333333 and that is not equal to 1/3 it is fundamentally incorrect from our current numerical system

oh, i know that one, the following is integers, the realizatio of what it meansfor the decimals is up to the reader:

142857*3=428571

Modern Oral Hygiene is so bad cause of all the refined sugars, high-fructose syrup, and other overprocessed junk in foods today. Also other animals do take care of their teeth. Primates like chimps use toothpick-like structures and in a form of cleaning symbiosis, crocodiles allow birds to pick food out of its mouth.
>>16868842
Pre Agriculture? You don't even have to go that far back in history. Prior to the Early Modern Era when sugar became far more accessible, most humans in the world had straight white teeth that you can still see on their skulls today.
>>
>>16868941
All sugars and acidic foods may damage your teeth, some fruits are worse than candy because they fibers get caught between your teeth creating a prefect breeding ground for bacteria.

It's just that people naturally love sweet and acidic foods so as soon as we understood basic food processing we made terrible choices.
>>
>>16868715
It's diet, that's why when you look at a wolf skull the teeth are fine, not perfect but when you look at a dog skull that lived under modern conditions the teeth quality is very poor if they don't have regular dental care.
