conscious belief is not required for the mind to alter the body. proof of that is the placebo effect working even when people know it's a placebo
>>16897061>You believe the placebo effect works so the placebo works even if you know it's placebo./thread. Pretty funny how scientific analysis can turn nothing into a thing, and suddenly it can do things to you.
>>16897061>>16897081placebo effect is not a real thing. there's no evidence. what weak evidence there is is because the 'real' thing itself has negligible beneficial effects to begin with in most cases so taking nothing only appears similar in light of this. most drugs are no different to a tincture of bitters as far as actually fixing something goes. only pain relief or sedation via intoxicated, muddled consciousness (which is ancient) is solid. everything is highly non-targeted and highly ineffective, based on weak theory (and fads) with no clear experiential evidence.
>>16897802>the 'real' thing itself has negligible beneficial effects to begin with inSo basically, you just don't understand that the whole point of judging what is the "real" thing is by judging how much it outperforms random chance in the form of placebo?
>>16897041if placebo works, why don't doctors prescribe placebo to you on top of your regular medicine? not even untreatable diseases get you a placebo prescription

Why are some girls lesbians? Is it something in their brain or is it related to upbringing?
Cause women are hot. Really the question is why aren't more girls lesbians?
>>16899000nice tripsbut if you were a girl you could appreciate the male aesthetic, there are millions of faggots who do.i think one issue here is that too many males are not living up to the aesthetic.

What's ur favorite equation?
Shapiro-Rudin
2^4 = 4^2
>>168996612 is definitely a cool oneAdd to that 2+2=2*2=2^22 is a fixed point of a generic arithmetic operator of the form a[x]b where x=1,2,3 for addition, multiplication, and exponentiation. Presumably 2 would also be a fixed point for all values of x including x=1.5, x=100, etc

How was it decided that my consciousness is in this body and not another one?In another words why am I experiencing the world from this viewpoint? And even more fucked up question - where I was before?Is it even possible to have technology to answer these questions?
>>16899913So why don't I remember being you if I came first or you remember being me if you came first?
>>16899522We would be in a rotating dark matter sphere that heats up enough from a section from the light from a body source underwater. With other ingredients, it shifts people into place. Because people's bodies are always larger-scaled than locally, to account for expansions.
>>16899522You're not even you. Particles don't have an identity. How does an excitation in a field have an identity? It's not even a thing.It's all an illusion constructed by memory and thoughts. "You" only exist as the blips of conscious perception and you disappear when the blip disappears and a new "you" will appear with the next blip. There's nothing else, only the blips. Thoughts are just more blips. Time is just blips too.I said blip too many timea but you know what I mean. The atoms of perception.
>>16900127>Particles don't have an identity.>The things I can identify as particles don't have identities.Makes total sense if you don't actually think about it.

>>16899614Memes aside it really still is the best option careerwise. If things seem worse it's because the entire economy got worse and we just got dragged down with it. Unfortunately being the king of the shit pile still beats being the poor fucker at the bottom getting smothered, even if we're all still covered in shit.

It is going to keep expanding and expanding faster and faster until all matter is ripped apart with unimaginable vast spaces and cold and dead?Is this the future of all existence?
>>16898554i think in the end all matter in the universe will gravitate into a single point and burst into a new universe, maybe with new laws of physics too
>>16898860Yes the general response from particle people is that there is a hritho unknown complexity and a plethora of particle models could account for it. If you watch that youtube video the scientists fo through a few potential models. It's all at a very early stage though, many models could fit the data.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reNicLW2vpYNew particle models may also change how the DESI data is understood in terms of whether expansion is changing or slowing too.
>>16898554>It is going to keep expanding and expanding faster and faster until all matter is ripped apart with unimaginable vast spaces and cold and dead?Yes, for our universe at least. But keep in mind the Heat Death theory is just that: a theory. Although there is wide consensus on it by now, it relies on what we can observe right now and from the universe's past. It's not at all certain that the expansion of the universe will keep increasing forever. Maybe in X billion/trillion/quadrillion/etc. years, it might start to slow down, come to a halt entirely or maybe even begin to shrink again. Basically we're watching a race car accelerating and from that observation we infer that it will reach 1,000 km/s in a couple hours. Just because we can't see any slowing down of the universe's expansion RIGHT NOW doesn't mean this will never happen. Who knows?Changes in the speed of our universe's expansion have already happened in the past (early Big Bang), so there really isn't any reason to automatically assume they won't happen again.>Is this the future of all existence?Depends on whether our universe really is all of existence or whether other universes exist. Maybe in others the Hubble Constant is lower, balances itself out with gravitational attraction, or mabe is even negative. Alas, we will never know.
>>16898574>So it will eventually bounce back and collapse to zeroZero doesn't indicate collapse, zero is indicative of balance, negative is the indication of collapse.
>>16898894Lol the sass of that fawn
Just how fake and gay is evolution?
>>16899570Struggling with what? You can't even name a mechanism.Genetics flowing backwards? That is a fine statement, but genetics change while organisms are alive anyways. The claim of backwards and forwards is a value judgement.Additionally, this still doesn't define a generation. What is a generation? How do I tell generations apart?
>>16899571>You can't even name a mechanismFor what? You’re asking for a mechanism for how an organism dying changes the genetics of the rest of the individuals when you’ve been told that isn’t what happens multiple times>but genetics change while organisms are alive anywaysAnd that only gets passed on when it reproduces>Additionally, this still doesn't define a generation. What is a generation? How do I tell generations apart?A generation is what we call the separation between parent and offspring
>>16899590Are you disagreeing that death changes allele frequency in a population of organisms? Genetics are passed in more ways than through organism reproduction. Ignoring the other avenues for gene transfer, all offspring are their own generation with no peers and certainly of no population. Just another meaningless term to be piled on top of all of the others that can't be parsed through the defunct evolutionary lens.
>>16899674>Are you disagreeing that death changes allele frequency in a population of organisms?No? You still seem to be struggling with this>Genetics are passed in more ways than through organism reproductionThere are, but even if they get passed from organism A to B that doesn’t matter unless B reproduces or otherwise passes on that information. Also it doesn’t seem like you knew this until that one anon pointed out retroviruses>all offspring are their own generation with no peers and certainly of no populationIncorrect. Population can refer to any continuous lineage or group of organisms. You seem to be under the impression that it’s necessary to look at just one species when referring to a population>Just another meaningless termIt’s not, but you’ve made it apparent that you can only understand very small absolute terms
>>16900030ERV is hardly what is being discussed. You obviously never looked at basic gene transfer in simple organisms. Your new definition of generation is in direct contradiction to the previous one. >A generation is what we call the separation between parent and offspringYou won't settle on the mechanism of how a single organism dying causes the entire population of organisms to evolve by definition. This is not science. You invent ad hoc terms on other loaded terms to obfuscate meaning through false equivocation. you cant even keep consistent in a +1 conversation chain. Maybe you should find God.
I'm breaking a scientific/mathematical frontier with radical observationism. I can only hint that it has to do with geometry and optics.
