We used to have a cellular reprogramming general but it died, while these threads pop up weekly

>Protocol
It's a two step process, first

500mg Curcumin
500mg or so Tributryn
Take about a dropper full of B12.

Wait an hour.

Then, think of this as a balanced dose to start the reaction.
300mg Liposomal Apigenin
Another 500mg of Tributryn
About 500mg of either NAD or some combo of NAD and NMN.

And stack that combo of Apigenin, Tributryn, and NAD/NMN 2-4+ times in a day. One week on one week off to avoid T cells exhaustion. Ultimately this is your immune system first reprogramming itself and then going out to the rest of you. The T cells are able to identify cell wall markers where issues are the most severe and those will need to be targeted first before any specific issue. Give it a little wiggle room if you don't need as much NAD or Tributryn. NAC is a good add in as well while doing this if you have a history of smoking or lung problems.

Problem factors:
>epigenetic damage accrues over time
>immune weakening with age gives a pathway to overloading the system
>pre-cancer mutation risks increase with age
>limitations of effectiveness through dose course, paper doesn't provide guidelines for tapering cycles, scaling down cycles as the count increases, or general long term treatment
This basically means that the older, and not age specific but more damaged via poor lifestyle choices, a person is the more likely they require shorter, weaker courses with more limited effect.
High dosing on Yamanaka-factor activation has probable side effects of reencoding bad cells, leaving apoptosis delayed on cells that require it, causing immune overactivation leading to development of or worsening of arthritis, and immune system wearout leaving the participant susceptible.

What this requires is some factorization for age and body condition, individually, and an approach that understands the method is generally uncontrolled and limited in scope. Only so much can be "reversed", and only so much can be taken without the risks of inducing much worse things than just getting older.

As a very basic example of what I'm discussing:
If for a perfectly healthy 25 year old, 1000mg of combined treatment for 3 weeks is prudent and effective, 500mg of chemicals for 4 weeks for a 35 year old is prudent. And then you want to taper the dose to end a treatment (cycle) over 2-3 weeks, give hte body 8 weeks to rest, and start a new cycle on 2/3rds the chemical amount. Etc.etc.

while a few people did posit that the earth might start cooling, those were always in the minority, as meta studies show.

I think the media is also to blame, they don't give a shit about the societal damage they do as long as they can pump out some sensationalist headlines.
Also people fail to realize that many of those predictions assumed that no climate action would be taken and governments at least put a little effort into reducing carbon emissions, so the fact that some of those predictions didn't come true is actually due to people taking them seriously and doing something to prevent them.

That's what Fermilab does with their Neutrino Beam. IDK I would expect something interesting to happen in the middle of a circle with particles moving at relativistic speeds.

I could see like a large, oval-shaped onion layer, where the forces kept coming back to make it, but they fell short and pushed it. So there's a high-energy particle out there. I wouldn't be shooting for it; it's far too massive and dangerous.

wow

This article proposes that the laws of nature and the state of the universe are not separate things. Traditionally, physics treats laws as external rules and matter as something that simply follows them. In this new framework, called Relative Duality, they are two sides of the same coin: the current state of the universe actually codes for its own next move.

The deepest insight is that physical reality does not require an external "instruction manual" or a fixed background like space and time. Instead, the universe is a self-operating system where information can be read either as a description or as a command. Space, time, and particles are not the fundamental building blocks, but are patterns that emerge from how information is consistently exchanged. In short, the universe is a self-encoding system that creates its own rules through its internal relationships.
>>
>>17004325
>but with one minimal requirement: no fundamental side of a description may be absolute.
>From this follows the first distinction: 0/1. But even this distinction cannot have a fixed preferred side. It must therefore be relatively dual. From that starting point

I see your trying to build the universe from scratch while incorporating ideas from works like the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy where the universe reinvents its self into some thing even more convoluted once it's been worked out.

This isn't so much as daul reality theory than a contrived notion of reality.

File: Circles_inside_square.jpg (160 KB, 808x800)

We have a square with a side length of 2000. Inside the square is a circle C with a radius of 525, which can be moved freely within the square as long as it remains within the square. There are also four other circles, which, as shown in the diagram, are tangential to the square and also tangential to the other circles. All radii are integers! The circles must not intersect!

Question: What are the solutions for the four circles?

You have control with:

side lenght = 2000 = [ 2*(R1*R3 - R2*R4) + sqrt(2*(R1 - R2)*(R1 - R4)*(R3 - R2)*(R3 - R4)) ]/ [R1 - R2 + R3 - R4]

where R2 and R4 are the biggest and the smallest circle of the four circles in the corners of the square.
>>
>>17002538


The next check is (for a possible solution):

5*R4 = 2*a - (R1+R2+R3+R4)

with a = 2000 [side length]
and if R4 is the largest radius of the 4 outer circles.
>>
Another interesting problem is what's the remaining area (outside the circles)
Of course you could boorishly calculate and add up the areas of all the circles but try to think of something more elegant.
>>
>>17004744

Another interesting point is that if the centers of the four outer circles are connected to form a quadrilateral, its area is divisible by the smallest radius of the circles, yielding 6300 (=integer).

I've recently started seeing people on this site, who I assume must be either zoomers or jeets, unironically using AI to make arguments for them. Like you'll be having a debate and someone will show up and just post a screenshot of the chat results; they'll include their question and the response and just drop the thing with no comment as if god has spoken, like

>some guy said that zoomers are retarded, is this true?
>no, it isn't true that zoomers are retarded, because etc etc
And they seem to expect for this to be taken seriously. We may be at a point where young people will actually be turned into mindless cattle as they willingly give up their capacity for independent critical thought. We all know how eagerly people will adopt technologies that prevent them from having to think and AI is offering these people, who likely did little thought to begin with, the option to outsource literally all critical thought.

I watch this unfolding and I'm reminded again that the vast majority of people desperately want to be slaves. They don't want to have to think, they don't want to have to make decisions, they just want some authority figure to tell them what to do. Now they've got it, conveniently located in the phone they're always carrying with them.

I compare it to the average boomer trying to use a PC.
People with at least average intelligence in any other context shut down and basically act in the dumbest ways possible when using computers because something in their brain flips and they basically act intentionally helpless rather than figure things out.
There's like a fight, flight, fawn, freeze thing here. Where they either fawn or freeze when encountering something they're not familiar with.

For young people that is applied to reading.
Basically they missed the boat on learning it the right way for various reasons (bad teaching methods like Whole Word Reading, excessive allowances for misbehavior or tardiness in classrooms, a culture of anti-intellectualism, ethnic and cultural inhomogeny, etc.) and now they mentally shut down when they encounter anything more than their See Dick Run tier literacy.
Like most people, if they missed learning a fundamental skill, they aren't going to teach themselves it. And their reactions to encountering the unknown is not curiosity but some kind of fear response and that leads to a shutdown of their reasoning capabilities.

>bad teaching methods like Whole Word Reading, excessive allowances for misbehavior or tardiness in classrooms, a culture of anti-intellectualism, ethnic and cultural inhomogeny, etc
Those points have flaws in them. Countless shitty teaching methods in the past were done to older cohorts so it'a hard to gauge it as the reason when technically everyone got taught sub-optimally.

Anti-intellectualism is extremely simplufied by many. It doesn't always mean not wanting to learn. Most cases it's either the school gating content from curious students or kids being told they should pursue learning opponents that don't instantly manifest material benefits.
For the laat point there are many schools in the world with diverse school populations on an ethinc or cultural level or the flipside of "mono ethnic/cultural" schools not hitting their strides. Too many reports spend too much time wasting effort on reading into that rather than checking the actual structure and staff/admin hierachy of well-performing schools. They'd rather just beeline to the results and not see the wider scope.

How about we meet in middle and agree that a flat earth just makes no sense. However, what about a tetrahedral or cubic earth? You get flat surfaces, matching observed reality, and the geometry makes sense since the edge is just where two world plates meet, grinding subsonic rumbles as they jostle for position. Once you get into orbit the atmosphere curves the world lines into a sphere so it looks circular from above. It's just an illusion, like water refracting light.

Cheering obviously has an effect on player psyche which then has an effect on the game. Feeling the crowd is on your side makes you push yourself harder while if the crowd is against you it demoralizes you but that's only generic theory. The actual effect is much more random and individual player dependent and I don't think the effect would be obvious from statistics. What's more fans also react to the game, intense games where the home team wins will get more cheers than where the home team loses which will inevitably drowns out any easy statistical comparisons, if you just plug loudness meters and compare scores you will probably find that the cheering correlates with the game state but it's caused by the game state and the cheering doesn't cause the game state.
