“Alien life exists elsewhere. The odds are just too good.”“But alien life visiting us? No. Impossible. It could never happen.”Are scientists just retarded?. “No you can’t come here. We’re off limits. No way no how. Cope.”It’s fucking weird. Do scientists not consider successor theories to our own limitations? Do they think our limitations are everyone else’s limitations?
>>16885857I just don't find it unreasonable to attribute the origin of life to some as of yet undiscovered mechanisms when any kind of alternative would invokes a supernatural explanation.
>>16885870All training in science leads to this as the only rationally plausible explanation even lacking any direct evidence of even the most permissive speculative hypothesis, yet the magnitude of the "miracle" if life, if I dare to use the term, is so great that it seriously gives the entire enterprise a run for its money. It is really nothing for an eye to develop where once there was only the beginnings of a protocell. The distance between that not-yet-even-a-cell and mere organic compounds is a tremendous number of orders of magnitude greater.
>>16885874I think the idea that "life came from non-life" is just a logical conclusion that most people would arrive to
>>16885880It's what I would call pseudo-logical. It follows the pattern of logic but we lack the necessary components to even begin proving it. It is like a negative space in the shape of logic that we can only presume logic must fit because we have been unable to verify any other scenario that is not itself recursively dismissed by the logic trying to prove itself.Logic tells us we can only accept logical answers for things, but on a fundamental level no axiomatic proof of logic exists, it appears so only by agreement, which is then filtered through biological bias. Try as we might we cannot reach the level of pure logic necessary to unravel the universe. That, in itself, is a truth that flies in the face of logic.
>>16885928There is nothing to suggest that the idea of abiogenesis is illogical.
67 is a prime number
>>168862782 is a fake prime, just a pretender. It gets hand waved in because, fuck it basically. I will always bully the number 2 whenever it calls itself a prime or anyome calls it a prime. Tranny prime is more like it. Even ass number pretending to be odd like the rest. Wanting everyone to accept it even though it's a fucking abomination. Disgusting 2's. Filthy disgusting number.
>>16886328What's an even number? A number divisible by 2. The only prime divisible by 2 is 2. The only prime divisible by 3 is 3. By 5, 5. Etc. ad infinitum. So by your logic, every prime is invalid.

This was a pivotal event in my life. I've since sought out and ingested every word to the best of my ability of what this man says publicly. I encourage you to have the intellectual fortitude and zeal for exploration of cowboy science that you do the same. We will never progress if we don't start bending and breaking the rules. In fact, every major breakthrough has come in that fashion.
Weinstein is the only person in generation X to have actually been present in the room at the University of Pennsylvania, when Edward Witten used mind control to shift everyone into working on string theory. We're lucky that Weinstein, through force of will, was able to resist Witten's mind control to create a better theory, one that uses 14 dimensions instead of 11.
>>16885130lol
>>16885130If Edward Witten is Voldemort, who is Dumbledore?
>>16886321damn that's a tough one, let me guess... E.Weinstein, the rabble-rouser to up-turned the money changer tables for the salvation of science?
>>16886321>>16886365Is Weinstein in the closet? Dumbledore was a homosexual.

Is science a human right? Is this ethical?
>>16885442I see a suspicious episode of self-harm in your future.
>>16885397Should everyone have the ability to hear?
>>16885394because science is not a physical thing or a specific school, it is a methodology that it is not possible or practical to restrict humans at any level of the hierarchy from performingyou do "science" whenever you observe a phenomenon and attempt to replicate a predicted result by repeating or altering the action that instigated it. non-rigorous and imprecise science to be sure, but that is, at its most basic, all science is.the concepts of "the institution of science" or "the scientific consensus" or academia are separate matters but those are not " science " as an basic raw concept
>>16885442Then you are either ignored or someone publishes you, though the latter is unlikely without certain requisite social skills and basic knowledge and training in the generally accepted channels by which these things are typically done.There is a website called Substack that is very popular among scientists and doctors to speak their mind and present ideas or review other peoples' ideas without direct limit or control by scientific governing bodies.

I'm 40 and I have enough money to survive on for 5-10 years living comfortably. How idiotic an idea would it be to go to med school. Inb4 you're too dumb I'm just wrapping a cognitively demanding tech career and was always a great memorizer
>>16886002Y medY nowI dont really want you to answer ITT. You're going to have to answer these questions well and get into med school against people who have answers for these questions, have been groomed for med since at least freshman year of college, and didn't choose another field first.>how stupid No dumber than anyone else deciding to go into med. Go for it, or don't. Think long and hard about it, medicine is a hard, shitty, thankless, increasingly poorly compensated field. Now go and stay go, premed.

what's the best theory of your own that you've ever come up with? did it pan out?
>>16885367Yeah theres no problem at all, i'm referring to the problem in the "proof" of x=-x.You can be on the main branch and say 1=sqrt(1)=1, you can be on the other branch and say -1=sqrt(1)=-1, but you cant switch branch at will to say 1=sqrt(1)=-1, like that anon said
>>16873253I met a guy who had theories.He went to school and studied all the old theories.When he left unsatisfied, he started pushing his own theories.His theories were adopted.Thats what you do if you want to be taken seriously.
By "theory" I assume you mean "hypothesis"When I was in 6th grade we had a very pretty spritely woman for a science teacher and she hammered into us, in no uncertain terms, that a hypothesis was NOT a guess. She repeated this lesson over and over: that one cannot simply make random guesses or speculation about any interesting factoid, and blithely call that a "hypothesis" or "theory". It must be based in observation with as much prior established fact as possible and present a falsifiable idea that can be tested and measured and reproduced to satisfy an ultimate conclusion. The addition of too many variables creates too much uncertainty that can disqualify many ideas from any sensible testing that can justify it being called a scientific hypothesis.tldr don't just guess random shit and call it a theory

So i lowkey need to use this thread to vent about Ken the retard for a second here He rails against muh ebul AI endlessly but then posts shit like this on his substack;>kenwheeler.substack.com/p/fact-based-ai-destroys-so-called... Guy has a huge ego issue with being proven wrong on anything or being intellectually held accountable for what he says by anything but a passive admiring audience, huge huge hypocrite. In one vlog the other day he went off like "Don't ever trust AI, it's evil!"He's pretty brilliant but also a huge hypocrite and generally an asshole on a personal level, don't ask how i know lol
... Same for the forced and constant blathering about "academicians" in general. Like my guy, just outright say you can't stand open criticism by a peer in a non-curated debate and won't ever cross that evaluation treshhold due to your identity having become utterly intertwined with your own iterative/non-expansive framework. I hate when otherwise bright people screw themselves over like this out of a misplaced sense of 'pride'
>Why isn't there an official explanation for the HUGE rise in fetal deaths starting in Q2 2021? There was not a change in reporting rules and there was no public campaign telling doctors or people to report FETAL DEATHS.https://x.com/stkirsch/status/2008267839938215958Very interesting but not really surprising for me xDThats barely beginning, by the way. Would be worse and worse year after year. Thats how poisoning with a gene therapy works.A 2023 retrospective cohort study using VAERS data from 1998-2022 found significantly elevated proportional reporting ratios for miscarriage, fetal death/stillbirth, and other pregnancy-related adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination compared to influenza vaccines. The relative risk for miscarriage was 177 (95% CI: 114.4-283.5). The authors called for a moratorium on vaccinating pregnant womenhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10694405/A 2025 medRxiv preprint analyzing 226,395 singleton pregnancies in Israel (2016-2022) reported higher-than-expected fetal losses after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in gestational weeks 8-13. For dose 1, there were approximately 3.9 additional losses per 100 pregnancies (95% CI: 2.55-5.14), with most occurring after week 20.https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.18.25329352v1.full.pdf

>>16884618>But we still die in our 70s just like our ancestorsno anon our ancestors on average died in their 40's,>>16884679wrong we aren't space faring because we can't cooperate long enough to become space faring.
>>16886353>no anon our ancestors on average died in their 40's,Depends how far back you wanna go I guess. OP's whole point, as echoed by >>16886259 is that infant mortality brought down the average lifespan more than quality of life into adulthood did.Hence why it's worth looking at the actual data here: >>16885077In 1841, a British newborn had a life expectancy of ~42.However, a 30 year old would be expected to survive to ~64.The difference represents people who died between birth and 30 years old.But a 30 year old in Britain today is expected to survive to ~82 which is a significant increase and essentially means OP's point is still bullshit.

Does anybody have any scientific theories as to how consciousness might persist after death? Or are we really just supposed to act like we're racing towards an empty void and that's okay
>>16867117Consciousness is the prima materia (Elemental Elementalism 1.1.).As this Earth world came into consciousness, it will go out of consciousness, and a new world will come in
>>16885770So your dead body will still conscious since consciousness is a primary element of your dead body rather than your functioning living body being a primary prerequisite of your consciousness? Even when your body is burned, the ashes are still consciously attached to the body and still feel all the pain and emotions associated with it?
>>16885770>is the prima materia>>16885772>Even when your body is burned, the ashes are still consciously attached to the body and still feel all the pain and emotions associated with it?Alternative hypothesis: consciousness is a property limited to very advanced biological systems and computers, it's entirely based in a brain or processor, and anesthetics, powering off, or death are all ways of ceasing it.

How do I learn mathematics as a hobby? Any books or courses to recommend?I learned up to AP Calculus in high school but forgot everything.
>>16880804Start with AOPS prealgebra -> AOPS intro to algebra -> AOPS intermediate algebra -> Hammack’s book of proof -> Paul Zeitz’s art and craft of problem solving.Then you’re ready for Spivak calculus.
>>16883827Are other aops books any good?
>>16880696I like Rogawski, but Stewart is what everyone else uses, so use that I guess
>>16880694>How do I...

Philosophically, existentially, and ontologically, what would the opposite of Earth be like?Our lifeforms are mostly flesh and blood.Our weather is cyclical.Our environment constantly decay and renew itself.Our materials are made of tangible matter.So would an anti-Earth be a world where lifeforms are not organic, don't experience aging, weather is still, the environment never decays, and "matter" is something ectoplasmic or fluid?
>>16886125Heaven or Hell.Unaging, unimaginative, unresponsive, unexpressive, unchanging, etc. On earth, everything is constantly changing, everything from people, things, universe, concepts, are all changing. Change is our existence. And suffering as a result of such. Which drives our responses to escape it, for a better tomorrow. The anti-earth would be a stagnant luster of immortality where there's ever eternal decadent.
