>autism is a genetic deadend that makes you unlikely to survive or have children, and that will disappear with evolution

so are we living in the only period in time when scientific progress is made? what will happen when autists go extinct, will we be stuck with our current technology until the end of times?

(savant) autism is just a statistical outlier in a population unaffected by selection.
Even if autist have no offspring, by pure chance of mutation some other savant autist may spawn eventually.

The idea of specially selecting for autism or intelligence in reproduction has afaik never been attempted, documented or successfully implemented.

>>17066670
autism is not something that comes and goes and never comes back. it's something that keeps on popping up. which is good, because the collective can make use of it at some point, if useful.
like...these days. autists moved human species to new new peaks of comfort and experience

the way randomness works is it always probes. if whatever it makes is useful in *those* conditions then it will stick. but you'll always get autists, like it or not

I can't be the only one who is genuinely excited to see STEMtards lose all their status. Just means more status for me.

> Again you should look at geodesics.
Yes, geodesics, the cornerpoint of relative motion
>In what sense do you mean "relativistic effect"?
Look, many people confuse spacetime for some magical field that is being modulated when it is just a mathematical diagram of all the available positions an object can take, gravity itself is not a force per-se but the combined effect of all the forces acting on a body that distort its path through space and time.
As a simplified example - if all of your particles and all of earth's particles were moving at the exact same velocity, and assuming that no external forces are acting on your combined body, then you would feel no gravitic force whatsoever, because no force would be applied to you which would change your trajectory through spacetime such that you would "fall" towards the surface.
>>
>>17066941
>the combined effect of all the forces acting on a body that distort its path through space and time.
No, it's not.
>As a simplified example
This example isn't accurate. The reason you don't fall into the center of the earth is because the EM force on a macroscopic scale creates a normal force that opposes the gravitational "force" which is the true geodesic you would otherwise follow.

>To exist is to interact
how do things pop out of existence when you're not looking at them? that's a fuckload of energy
again, you can have aspects of particles that haven't interacted with anything after they were created. thus they have no reason to exist. they only exist as a potential, to be spin up or down for example. when measured they collapse.
you seem to be having some kind of spiritual crisis and you think insisting in some primitive intuition will somehow solve your issues. it won't.

I will also draw everyone's attention to the absolute faggotry you exhibit by completely avoiding to address >>17066390

it is a very banal experiment you can try at home with your dad's sunglasses. do explain to us what is going on there, in a classical framwork, you should be able to since photons, by your own words, are not magical probability distributions.
thus you should be able to explain your findings.
but I will take a wild guess you will ignore addressing it, just like everything else that is not convenient, or you have no argument for. which further drives that point of you being a low iq primate

>Quantum correlation is completely arbitrary, you can set up any system such that any chosen properties are correlated
No, you absolutely cannot reach a state higher than 2 if classical physics apply. Literally what part do you not understand?
If an object belongs to the intersection of A and B, it must logically fall into one of two categories regarding the third property, W: Either it does not possess property W, therefore, it belongs to B minus W; or it does possess property W, and therefore, it belongs to A and W. Because there is no third option, any element in A and B MUST be in either A and W or B minus W.

People in this thread are pretty ignorant on this topic. Neanderthals didn't lose. They interbred with anatomically modern homo sapiens and their DNA still lives on.

I think I'm dying from alcoholic liver disease and I'm scared. I can't even go to sleep because I have some abdominal pain. No I'm not drinking anymore. I had to use medications to get to sleep. I have no other symptoms it seems but that. I'm currently waiting for my lab tests, but I'm not really anticipating it.

I'm about to be age 31 in 5 days.

Yes I know I could've quit, but, it seems this world was too much for me.. So, if it does indeed turn out that I have this I just wanted to let you know that you were always good to me, perhaps not in the most transparent way, but you always told me the truth about this world that others would not, even very ugly ones and I thank you for that. But I could not handle it, especially of finding things on my own accord. Nor could I deal with social obligations in the very beginning and it exhausted me.

So I die the fate of a tired man and a burdened participant.. Perhaps.. I will get some peace after this life .. One would hope.. If this is fatal that is..

>This world is too much
Remove internet and cheap stimulation (video games, stupid shows, etc) from your life. In particular the internet; it "connects" the whole world and makes it seem like too much to certain people who process much (most) of the information they see (this can bad for example if you hold views different than the ones currently popular in our world but follow politics). Make sure that you jog at least twice a week in the morning (on empty stomach or after coffee/juice) and that you eat clean (non-processed food, coffee, tea; everything as organic as possible... also check your water: https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_contamination/map/). Read good books (Classics, mathematics); in general expose yourself to proper stimulation and cut away bad *and* useless stuff. As for any health issues you might have, you should look into fasting.

Recent studies on Retatrutide, the new GLP-1 medication show that it can shred liver fat, and far in excess of the amount you'd expect for the overall weight loss.
And you can buy this one on the grey market from China. If you are already dying, why not give it a go?

The empirical sciences and the humanities are just the same thing. Why do we act like they are two different domains of philosophy? Does it have to do with the humanities being more forgiving of making elaborate conjectures? Do you think this dichotomy is what's ultimately holding us back from understanding true human nature?

No I get it. At least I think I do.
What Jaynes is claiming is that these societies experienced an erroneous distinction between their internal monolog and themselves. While they could experience complex emotions and thoughts, they didn't really have the theory of mind to comprehend or express them in a way that didn't involve reifying these concepts as an external entity (deities, spirits, cosmic forces, etc.).
What I, and Jaynes's own contemporaries, are saying in this case is that the connection to schizophrenia is extremely weak for the reasons I laid out before.
The strongest defense of Jaynes's model would drop that association entirely.

>>17066550
The argument goes that it wasn't exactly "simultaneous." It emerged as a sort of "mind virus" from groups of people within societies of growing complexity. These groups did communicate with one another up until the Bronze Age Collapse so the seeds had been sown for the breakdown of the bicameral mind all across the Mediterranean world and immediately surrounding regions before that breakdown became the default state in the civilized world.

it makes sense to be on some kind of edge, that can be triggered by social interaction. hence why I called it a spectrum, outside influence can modulate it to some degree.
