How easy/difficult would it be for an entire country to survive without its people intentionallg consuming any fungus or fungus products. No yeast, penicillin, mushrooms. ETC. Lol.
While a small, isolated community might theoretically survive on a diet of unleavened grains, fresh vegetables, and synthetic medicines, a modern nation-state would face:Massive food shortages (no bread, no beer, no cheese).Public health crises (loss of antibiotics, transplant complications).Economic collapse (loss of entire industries).Enforcement nightmares (you can't stop spores from entering the air).In short: It would be nearly impossible. The reliance on fungi in modern civilization is so deep that removing them intentionally would be a societal suicide mission.

How do I cope with being a midwit (113 IQ)?
>>17042314IQ is important but there's other important factors as well. I had a friend once who wasn't very bright (but obviously not retarded either), often unable to connect things logically together and very ignorant about the world (though this one is partly ascribed to his sheltered upbringing), but he was keen and persistent and was able to learn 3D modeling and animation and some basic coding to help him (this was obviously before AI exploded) due to being able to follow instructions to a T. On the other hand you can technically have a high IQ with something like autism, ADHD, personality disorders but be functionally useless.
>>17040910Midwits fall into several self destructive traps. They also have the required level of intelligence to avoid those traps once they understand what they are. At that point, it stops being about intelligence and is mostly about ego. You can do fine if you get over yourself and work with what you have.pic unrelated
>>17040910You can solicit uplifting anecdotes from 'tards on this board who beat the odds and got lucky. Also, why not play the lottery and hope you hit the jackpot? You've got this, champ. >>17040950Economic success and many other nice life outcomes are heavily g-loaded.>>17042314Big Five personality clusters like conscientiousness don't respond much to training either.
>>17040910The world is literally made by and for midwits.You can only thrive in such social environment.And it's even easier if you're a woman.

I am not good with mathematics notation or terminology. Is there any website that teaches advanced math without using symbols and terms? I understand you need to use them to save time and to communicate objectively but I cannot work with symbols such as those. So what do I do then. Lol.
>>17043450>set theory, introductory Ya that's kind of what I assumed. It was just describing a set of numbers.>mocking meI hope he feels better I guessDon't Surreal numbers cover everything no matter what?
>>17043540I wasn't mocking you, the other guy is full of shit.
>>17043546ya but let's be honest why post something so broad? Other than to make an example out of someone who questions what it is?Also, don't surreal numbers by Conway's definition cover everything? All sets?
Don't jump in the deep end of math, that's how you get confused and disillusioned. You don't build a house by starting with the roof. You need a foundation.
>>17043549they cover all mathematical structures that are akin to the real numbers, essentially. And they are class sized as in there is, in a conventional formalism, no set big enough to hold all of them.>why post something so broad? because the issue is that your question requires a broad answer. The semantics of the example were immaterial, what mattered was to give you the idea of turning symbolic language into text, each element of the symbolic language can be treated as a sentence fragment, figuring out which is which is of course not trivial without examples but depending on what you wish to study this is what sqt is for, or this thread

Schizophrenia drastically reduces fitness and is highly heritable, with 80% being a common figure for how much of it is up to genetics vs environment. People usually don't get it unless a close family member also had some kind of psychotic disorder. So why the hell hasn't it been bred out? I've been googling around for the past half hour and the explanations I've seen include>schizophrenia is a bad construct that actually describes a number of diverse disorders>schizophrenia is actually being selected against and used to be more prevalent>the polygenes implicated in schizophrenia increase fitness when a few are expressed, but when too many are expressed, you get a cliff-edge effect>schizophrenic people in hunter-gatherer societies don't suffer from their hallucinations like westerners do, mitigating its impact on fitness until recently>schizophrenic people in hunter-gatherer societies gained prestige for their families because they were seen as shamans, and their families passed the genes alongWhat does /sci/ think about this question that is relevant to biology and psychiatry and is DEFINITELY NOT OFFTOPIC

>>17043467We'll invent mega-penicillin that would kill even toxoplasma and inject it into brain cavities directly. Or even better, vaccinate everyone against schizophrenia.
>>17037680>with 80% being a common figure for how much of it is up to genetics vs environment. People usually don't get it unless a close family member also had some kind of psychotic disorder.Pseudoscientific BULLSHIT, if your parents are schizos you're way more likely to be schizo obviously, that does not mean it is mostly genetic.Psychiatry is NOT science and should not be treated as if it is.

What is the evolutionary purpose of not having 1 big nostril instead of 2 small nostrils?
>>17031741underappreciated truth, lingually getting ear raped is what turns boys into men
>>17030987>Possibly of misleading relevance to this conversation, but there is a large risk in patients who undergo excessive or unnecessary turbinectomies or turbinate reduction surgeries can result in quite torturous side affects as the passages drys out and becomes damaged making it very difficult to breath and significatnly reduces quality of life. It is unclear what this means from an evolutionary perspective if this is merely a symptom of traumatic surgeries to address uncommon issues or if this tells us an essential function of nasal function dictates nasal passage size and could not be evolutionarily mitigated by other means.i had turbinate fracture and radiofrequency reduction in 2019 and my life has been hell ever since. i have unbearable problems concentrating, no autonomic breathing, don't sleep at night, atrophic rhinitis, chrusting, etc. look up empty nose syndrome

How did he even get a job at Berkley?
>>17040643there is a story of him booking an appointment for discussing sex corrective surgery in 1966 while a grad student
>>17040796https://paulcooijmans.com/psychology/unabombreport1.html>While at the University of Michigan he sought psychiatric contact on one occasion at the start of his fifth year of study. As referenced above, he had been experiencing several weeks of intense and persistent sexual excitement involving fantasies of being a female. During that time period he became convinced that he should undergo sex change surgery. He recounts that he was aware that this would require a psychiatric referral, and he set up an appointment at the Health Center at the University to discuss this issue. AGP, interesting

>>17038901GENDER CONFUSION, SEX CHANGE IDEA FUELED KACZYNSKI’S RAGE, REPORT SAYSBy William Booth September 12, 1998Convicted Unabomber Theodore J. Kaczynski considered having a sex change operation when he was in his twenties and his confusion over his gender identity filled him with a rage that contributed to his bombing spree, according to documents released today.The new details about the mental health of Kaczynski, who pleaded guilty in January to a string of terrorist bombings that killed three people and injured 23 others, were part of 47-page forensic evaluation ordered by U.S. District Judge Garland Burrell Jr. during Kaczynski’s January trial. …In the psychiatric evaluation, Johnson reveals that Kaczynski had persistent and intense sexual fantasies about being a woman.

Shouldn’t science be based on verifiability and whether or not it could be proven wrong?
do you have the equipment and expertise to verify experimental results? If not, you're going to have to trust someone who does.
>>17043343I agree with you that leftist politics hijacked “science” in the period 2016-2022 or thereabouts. Leaving COVID aside, there was this really bizarre period where transgender/transsexual activists had some sort of academic high ground to stand on, I don’t know why, but they were able to give a bunch of academic paper citations that said that biological sex was somehow not a real scientific thing but rather a “social construct” and that calling a person “he” or “she” based on looking at them and using normal ways of thinking was some evil fascist brainwashing and instead we need to base society on Zoom Meeting culture of stating pronouns in your bio or something. How this would ever translate to real life (I need to wear a nametag saying He/Him from now on?) was unclear.I don’t think we have reached any resolution to these topics but I hope it doesn’t take another 10+ years
>Shouldn’t science be based on verifiability and whether or not it could be proven wrong?It is. Science has never been built on whether *you personally* have verified something. And in fact without review by others, your own work product is just un-replicated anecdotal trash.
>>17043343>whether or not it could be proven wrongA statement being falsifiable is necessary but not sufficient. For example, christcucks love making unfalsifiable claims because their favorite fantasy setting had a story about it.> based on verifiabilityA statement about empirical reality is only verifiable within a confidence interval or error bar, unless we are talking within a verified (in the above sense) formalism or a discipline that is a priori such as math. Peer review is one useful tool, but in practice most useful for verification of the second kind (within a framework). Experimentally it is not as useful but still worthwhile. Of course, in reality, any thread that talks about "the science" is inevitably going to devolve into a bad faith circlejerk where the aforementioned christcucks will LARP about how science is stupid and leftist and that you should listen to their schizophrenia and appeal to gut feelings instead, preferably with a namefaggot attention whore or two raving on about jews or something.
