i think that IQ estimations past 125 and below 75 is unreliable and IQ estimations past 130 and below 70 are complete bullshit. any objections?

yeah that is small scale, ofc the world responds to your mind. I meant that overall, God is in both the victim and the victor, the winner and the loser, so doesnt care which way it goes.

>multiverse
is not materialistic or nihilistic.
can you make different choices?
yes, and the choices you did not make, also happened, in another branch, which you perceive via imagination
there is one universe, yes ofc, but the one and the many go together, nirvana is samsara, specifically, the one contains the many (and maybe many contains the one, if you like).
I'm saying if you choose one path, the universe experiences that- but also the other paths that alternate versions of you chose. So regardless of what you choose, EVERYTHING happens and is experienced.
when the particle is observed on one slit, it is simultaneously being observed on the other. they go together. the wave has peaks and troughs, the mirror has 2 sides...

The other day my sister was watching some crime show where the cops used cum which had been left on the table of a crime scene and pulled the DNA from it. This made me wonder how realistic this is. I know that cum inside the body can survive a while. But if you just jizzed on a table, how quickly would a scientist need to get their hands on it before it was totally unusable for DNA testing

Have there been any studies into the evolutionary effects of the morning after pill and abortion?
Specifically, male rapists used to be able to quite reliably pass on their genes by raping women and forcing them to get pregnant , but now when a man rapes a woman, that woman will almost certainly be able get the morning after pill or failing that an abortion.

as such the evolutionary strategy of rape should almost entirely disappear from the human genepool.
Rape-causing genes will have no evolutionary advantage and likely drop to very low levels.
>>
>>16829663
rape causing genes will drop to very low levels in white societies who will then experience mass immigration from sexually frustrated feral BLACK africans from darkest congo who still have their rape genes.
>>
how many generations after the introduction of the morning after pill do you think you're at?
why would any effects on "rape genes" if those even exist be apparent this soon?

rape also doesn't happen exclusively between strangers (statuatory rape, and the fact that the most likely culprits in the sexual abuse of minors are family members), and not exclusively while the victim is aware of it (i.e. knockout drops or getting a girl too drunk to say no).
would a woman raped by her significant other abort her child?
would a child raped by a family member have any way of getting a morning after pill, unless her tormentor allows for it?
would a woman who wakes up with a bad headache after a night at the bar assume that she had been drugged and raped the night before and take a morning after pill in time?

every 'no' to one of these questions lowers the effect that birth control has on any possible rape genes, because the rapist's genes made it through anyways.
another way for them to be passed on would be if the genetic rapist reproduces consensually due to learned behavior.

I don't think there is any evidence for rape genes in the first place.
vikings were rapists and swedes are not.
>>
>>16830389
>would a woman raped by her significant other abort her child?
This is basically the only case in which a rapist would be allowed to pass on their genes in the future. Regardless, rapey characters are likely to well, rape and get culled from the population, granting humanity an evolutionary pressure to drop the behavior. Rape cases can at least be reasonably expected to plummet in number.
>>
Abortion and contraceptives main genetic consquence is that it eliminted most communists and leftoids who previously reproduced like animals, see john brown and how he had 20 kids. gutter junk all got ultra genetically nuked by it. Rape isn't really a viable genetic strategy anyway even if you live in a favela shithole becuase you'll just get executed and the foid will probally just have a intentional miscarriage or kill the rape baby when it pops out. anyone who lived in the nice areas of the world today who raped also got bred out due to very harsh laws that basically eliminated most, if not all "wrongdoers"

How does energy decide what it should be "aligned" to? Like how does energy that becomes heat exclude all the other forms energy can take on, losing its universal energy-like nature? How is that even possible?

*differentiation and unity

it's an issue of frequency.
in the viod things are very low frequency, so it's hard to grasp things, like a handle with no grip
but when things speed/heat up into higher frequency waves they become dense and specific and with a somewhat rigid identity.
but it doesnt matter because sooner or later it will dissolve, as all things do, anicca
>>
>>16830120
The law of thermodynamics is that things tend to move towards low energy states.

Thus if you have a magnet on a string rotating around an iron rod, this is a high energy state because there is potential energy between the iron and the magnet. The low energy state is when they smash together.
This is what the law of thermodymics predicts will happen.

It is possible to create mathematical structures of "conservation of energy" that do not match how the energy will actually flow.
>>
>>16830120
basically nobody knows and scientists have just been inventing variables to represent different phenomenon

I've been reading into lasers and forbidden transitions lately and it seems like the key thing always skipped over is how/why the energy levels from one source manage to couple to the atoms in a completely different medium

its like in science the chicken objectively came before the egg, all the equations for laser physics and such probably came AFTER people had discovered and engineered the function of these systems
>>
>>16830120
>How does energy decide what it should be "aligned" to?
Forces.
Mechanical energy moves/changes due to forces acting on it.

For example:
Create a mathematical formula for the conservation of energy of an object moving in an orbit. That's great that you have a mathematical formula, but you have assumed that the object is moving in an orbital shape. This is wrong because orbits are unstable. Forces of attraction will cause the two bodies to smash into eachother rather than stay in orbit.

Just because an equation is mathematically true, doesn't mean it is how things will play out in real life. Especially when you make false assumptions, and ignore the impact of forces on an objects motion.

Mars atmosphere has been weak for a long time now. Whatever is found off of geological surveys on this planet shouldn't be considered intrinsically tied to the object itself.

Well, i'm not really talking about the gases (which iirc are mostly being sucked out rather than in, not 100% sure of that i'm no science dude) but more of external objects being allowed to crash onto Mars.
My claim would only concern a certain depths ofc. Deeper surveys might be more interesting and relevant.
