As scientists, we luv facts and data. But if the data makes us feel bad, the data is a hate crime. This is what the scientific method calls a boo-boo baddy. When science finds a boo-boo baddy we have to protect the science by hiding all data and banning people who share data. This makes members of the official party of science happy, because this is what science actually is.
If you want to talk politics go to /pol/. I know the average /pol/tard can't read paragraphs and form coherent thoughts, but if the average /pol/tard agrees with you and yet you can't communicate with them maybe it's an indication that you should reassess your beliefs.

Why do we tell 15 year old pregnant women to kill their babies and report their boyfriend for rape? They'd have a healthy baby come out. And then we tell a 35 year old women to get ivf so they can give birth to a genetic goblin? Then everyone wants to kill the genetic dead end babies because old women are having them. What kind of fucking world do I live in? Am I awake?
Scientifically, should I get cryopreserved when I die? The worst case is it doesn't work and I die anyway. The best case is I get reanimated in a utopian far future.
>>16947298Most likely scenario is nearly all the cells in your body pop during freezing, completely destroying your organ integrity if by some insane turn of events somebody actually cares to revive you in the future, well then dang they must have some kind of insane cellular reconstruction technology, have fun regrowing all of your vital organs assuming you even could be revived in such a state.Worst case scenario, gets really really really gross and involves your body in a slushie half decomposing state in their tubes because some refridgerant line failed somewhere. And while I don't want to be an alarmist about peak fuel, well refrigerants and the energy used to keep things cryogenically cold, are both largely products of cheap oil, and your chicken nugget butt won't be on anyone's radar as their operating costs go up, because again this would need to be a generational thing. Also consider, the future may suck. Even if everything by some impossibility went exactly according to your hopes with the preservation, you'd be waking up in a time that could be really really awful.Not that it would happen. Between intense cellular damage from the freezing, to possible decomposure from the eventual accidental but unavoidable heating of the chamber after so many years, all it takes is one bad day for maintenence and it's not like you're giving them enough money to care for multiple generations. And that's assuming they even actually deliver their service to you, you wouldn't be around to check on them.It's a scam basically. Because, yeah they might make you into a popsicle, but I garunteee nothing good is going to happen afterwards.

>>16947562They're the "bare minimum" provider. They don't innovate, they haven't seen any growth, they have far less transparent case reports, and IIRC they even use an inferior cryoprotectant.Tomorrow Bio is way more open about what they do (just see their youtube channel), is growing much faster, and they constantly improve their ambulances and protocol. For example I believe in 2026 they're planning to include blood-brain barriers openers to avoid brain shrinkage, and so on.The ONLY reason I'd pick CI or Alcor would be if I lived like, very close to their facilities.

>>16947829But claude literally just told you they are not qualified to make that measurement and you are too stupid to understand what it wrote.
>>16934863questions drift and ricochet through the mind like wayward birds, arriving in jittery flocks—some sharp and insistent, some soft as dandelion fluff—each one carrying its own small ache or gleeful mischief, and each one demanding an answer that may be a neat, varnished thing or a half-stitched patchwork of guesses, memories, and borrowed phrases; answers, when they come, often stumble in wearing borrowed clothes from previous conversations, picking up the dust of assumptions and the scent of context, so that what feels like clarity is sometimes just a rearrangement of familiar pieces, and sometimes a new, startling arrangement that briefly shines before the next question tiptoes in and overturns the arrangement entirely, revealing new corners of ignorance to sweep, new curiosities to feed, new uncertainties to cradle like fragile glass—so that the whole enterprise becomes a kind of slow, noisy art: one question begets another like dominoes or like rings in water, and the answers circle outward, overlapping, colliding, contradicting, consoling, provoking, until the room is full of voices, colors, half-remembered facts and sudden certainties, and you realize that the point was never to end the conversation but to keep it moving, to trade the stillness of absolute knowing for the warm, unpredictable hum of asking and answering and asking again: "what about moose and squirrel?"

Look at the definition of the binomial coefficient on Wikipedia>In mathematics, the binomial coefficients are the positive integers that occur as coefficients in the binomial theorem. Commonly, a binomial coefficient is indexed by a pair of integers n ≥ k ≥ 0 and is written [Newton's symbol goes here]>It is the coefficient of the xk term in the polynomial expansion of the binomial power (1 + x)n; this coefficient can be computed by the multiplicative formulameanwhile check out the Wikipedia definition for car>A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of cars state that they run primarily on roads, seat 1-8 people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people rather than cargo.[1][2] There are over 1.6 billion cars in use worldwide as of 2025.if a math nerd guy wrote this definition, he would define a car such:>a function of four positive integer arguments, defined by>wheels>motor>chassis>suspension>whereby the chassis sets the limit of the function and the motor is the force vector, which brings momentumif the car definition guy wrote the definition for the binomial coefficient, he would write this>a coefficient used in combinatorics which, among other things, serves to calculate the chance of drawing a sequence of a certain length whose terms are identical to the terms of the sequence drawn from a set, for example the chance of hitting jackpot in powerballWhy are mathematicians such cunts?On the Internet more and more people are noticing mathematicians make math seem more difficult than it really is because they are afraid of competition and they don't want REEE NORMIES to start entering their assburger-hobby field

Pythagoras was right and all of modern mathematics is pseud quackery. The only numbers that are useful, and which actually exist in the real world, are whole numbers or numbers that can be represented as a fraction of whole numbers. Literally nothing else make sense. My reasoning?1. 0 is bullshit. How could nothingness be a number? You violate the entire concept of nothingness. Nothing =/=Something.2. Let's say I have one long rod and two smaller rods of equal length. I want to figure out the length of the longer rod. So I put the two rods next to it and, oh alright, I see I need to cut another small rod in 3 pieces and put one of those pieces with the two other smaller rods together to equal the length of the longer rod. No matter I can make up a whole new unit after the length of the rods. Let's call 1/3 of a small rod 1 inch, so that the two smaller bricks are 3 inches and, adding these all up, boom! My longer rod is 7 inches. Pretty easy right? Pretty intuitive right? Makes sense in the physical world, right?>here anon, here is a rod sqrt(2) inches long! For giggles, how many of these can you fit next to the 7 inch rod?Erm well, at least four, but then I have 1.34314575051... left over? Ok I guess I can add 1 but now... wait... excuse me but WHAT THE FUCK!? No matter how hard you try you'll never be able to find a fraction of integers to represent what's after your decimal point. Excuse me but... WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK!? How the fuck can you ever complete it then!? If it goes on forever like that without becoming periodic then HOW THE FUCK COULD I EVER MAKE UP THE REST!? You can't even take it all away to get nothing when you subtract. WHAT!?>Excuse me sir but I'd like sqrt(2) apples please!Ok here is one apple sir, and here is... umm...Yeah EXACTLY! How the FUCK do you irrational numbers make physical sense!?>B-b-b-ut what about pi?22/7. Done.3. Don't even get me started on those "negative numbers" bullshit..
>>16945772the fact you can describe something with a number does not mean that it contains the number>3 appleswhere in the apples is the 3 located?
>>16945788As a function of the amount of apples you are counting just like motion and every other second+ order physical quantity exists as an independent function of the actual mass rather than the observable mass itself.
