Why is the education system so shit? Is trying to make kids sit still while a person who might not be very interested in their job tries to make them care about what they're saying just a hopeless endeavor, or is there hope for the current model?
>>16809989it hasnt actively been improved over the years. If you can get some private schools to be able to advertise getting your kids into ivy leagues or your money back type deal i'd imagine we'd see lots of innovative approaches to education.
>>16809989Always intrigue and impress little fuckers first. Would you listen to me for 30min if I'm a total loser?
Read about John Dewey. The US education system was designed to spit out factory workers, not to educate kids or even teach them how to educate themselves.
>>16810105seems fake and gay when modern graduates arent even good at factory work now.
>>16809989You will understand that its really good at its job when you realize the purpose is to institutionalize and homogenize people rather than educate and uplift them.

>>16807951It just needs a few more parameters...
>>16808034alright good to know christ cuck. i cant wait for day of the cross.
>>16807951it needs a lot of control over a lot of infrastructure in the real world to experiment and engineer something like antigrav, which is something we should not do, but we will do it anyway
>>16808018Technically, it can be trained to produce proofs based on recycled logic of previous users It can’t invent logic unless a higher Iq person uses it ergo never seeing shit
>>16810154To add to this since I think it can help They need to sample the highest IQ users and use their recycled logic to create proofs for pure and applied physics problems then and only then can they solve the god equation etc
Why are Europeans the only population with a negative Rhesus factor?Naturally, rhesus negative women can't reproduce at a replacement level with rhesus positive men, so why are they considered the same species at all?Why do everyone deny these simple scientific facts?
>>16806960>Why are Europeans the only population with a negative Rhesus factor?Because the mutation originated in Europe>Naturally, rhesus negative women can't reproduce at a replacement level with rhesus positive mensource?
This is the best /sci/ post of the year>"rhesus negative [European] women can't reproduce at a replacement level with rhesus positive [non-European] men">the offspring of a European and a non-European will always be infertile>nobody on Earth can possibly have European admixture in the range (0%;25%]>Amerimutts and mestizos actually don't exist>discussion of the economic, sociological, and physiological effects of race mixing is moot because it is biologically impossible
>>16806981Technically correct. It's called Erythroblastosis Fetalis, or Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn in which an Rh- mother gets pregnant with an Rh+ baby that she carries to term and delivers. However, her body has now made Anti-Rh+ antibodies that can cross the placental barrier and attack all subsequent Rh+ fetuses, often causing miscarriage. Hence, the inability to "reproduce at replacement levels". We can treat it now, but when you look back on History at all the Royal(Rh-) baby deaths, it starts to add up. Not to mention other "royal disease", like hemophilia, porphyria, etc...

What force keeps the laws of phisics grounded?
The FAG particleFAG is short for "Force All Grounding", i'm still doing the math on it. So when we assume that string theory is right, but we only have closed, ring like strings with a hole in the middle, there is a FAG trying to get inside the hole. The math shows that once the FAG enters the hole, it starts some kind of back and forth movement.

https://boingboing.net/2007/05/09/robert-anton-wilson-.htmlIt is a story about a captain Clark bragging that he never had any incident for 23 years but then the very same day he has an accident that kills everyone on the ship. Then later on the same day a Flight 23 piloted by another captain Clark crashes and kills everyone in it as well.Can somebody find any evidence that this story happened?I have tried finding any evidence of these stories, but I have come up empty.Could someone brag about living twenty three years or just doing something for twenty three years and then die because of the enigma?Is the enigma deadlyWould somethinghappen and or would someone die if they made a fictional character the age of twenty three years old?Could someone verify if either of these things happened at all?I did find an article / blog post debunking the air plane part of the story, but I cannot seem to find it anymore.I see the number twenty three for a bit after I look this up. I will see it when look at what time it and or watching a show and pausing it.Or collecting twenty three of something in a video game.Is it coincidence?

>>16810028It's a vague anecdote regarding two people whose last names were "Clark" and crashed a large passenger vehicle on the same day. There's nothing to go off here. If it was completely made up, nobody would be able to tell. You could find a bunch of correlations with pretty much any not-too-large number. It's not even a coincidence. It's just that millions of things happn every day and patterns are easy to find when you're looking for them, even if they don't really exist.

If you have a machine picking random lottery numbers for an infinite amount of time, is there actually a reason why every number combination would eventually be picked? I mean that if it is truly random, what's stopping it from "randomly" never landing on a certain combo?

>>16810098the other way it's usually phrased is "a system in a given macrostate will eventually, given enough time, visit all of the possible microstates corresponding to that macrostate"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enki_Catena>This chain of 13 craters was probably formed by a comet which was pulled into pieces by Jupiter's gravity as it passed too close to the planet. Soon after this breakup, the 13 fragments crashed onto Ganymede in rapid succession.

To make the leaning tower of lire lean over the edge of the table by N brick lengths, the minimum number of bricks you need is supposedly round(e^(2*N-y)), where 'y' is Euler-Mascheroni constant. How do you prove this?
>>16809652The block stacking problem has a known solution given by: [eqn]N = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{i=1}^{b} \frac{1}{i}[/eqn] where N is the overhang in brick lengths, and b is the number of bricks. This answer is what your image is depicting. The sum is just the Harmonic Series, and the total at the 'b'th term is approximated by the Euler-Maclaurin formula: [eqn]\sum_{i=1}^{b} \frac{1}{i} \sim \ln{b} + \gamma - \frac{1}{2b} + \mathcal{O}(\frac{1}{b^2})[/eqn].So [math]2N \sim \ln{b} + \gamma - \frac{1}{2b} + ...[/math], then with the rounding you can drop the 1/2b (and smaller) terms and isolate for b, which gives you what you wanted to prove.

It reads more like an essay than a serious science book. Also felt like it get to the main points much sooner and been a much shorter book.It's also not a good sign if guys without a science background like Edward Dutton are the ones schooling you about group selection, the author seems to have a more individualistic deterministic view of evolution which I find hard to believe but I'm not a biologist.What does /sci/ think?
>>16809778>group selectionno such thing
>>16809778I'm no expert but I thought it was an interesting and compelling theory. This whole topic is fraught with tribalism and frame games so don't expect a reasonable discussion, just a bunch of people who never read the book condemning it's heresy.
>>16809778Genetic skynet speculation is not science. It's been refuted. Gariepy is weak on the actual biochemisty required to support his idea, it's mostly hand waving.https://substack.com/inbox/post/175627384
>>16809778I like when the big idea guy lab scientist fellows write their first book they want to reach a general audience and make a statement. Their personalities really shine through and it's like 50/50 whether they're pleasant people happy to be in their preferred research, or smug ignorant assholes. Though the smug ignorant assholes are at their worst when they're writing far beyond their qualifications (Lab-bred euroscientists are writing about conspiracies and global warming, the mammal evolution expert is angry when he writes about global warming). Often, explanations that you want looked into... aren't. Like how much CO2 is produced annually, naturally, on average by volcanoes. Does it rival humans? You'll never know since financial pressures would never fund that or publish research. How many conspiracy theories are actually true? Stuff like that.But I like the science books. I liked reading "This Idea Must Die" but it made me want to write so I put it down. Carl Sagan was good. Stephen Hawking at least presents an array of sprawling ideas.
I know free will exists because I choose not to be like any of the faggots who deny it.
>>16808940How does does knowledge and predictive power negate free will? I know if I ask my brother for pizza that he will always want the same toppings no matter what, how does me having knowledge of this mean he did not choose these things?Knowledge and will in some sense aren't even the same category of things other than they both require a mind. If free will is negated by predictions, does free will all of a sudden become subjective and in flux depending on how good other people can predict, so person A for example makes accurate prediction so you have less will but person B can't make predictions so all of a sudden now you have more free will? Are we even talking about a persons ability to make their own choices or how knowledgeable other people are?
The issue of free will dissolves once "you" realize that there's nobody there to have free will in the first place

Hi /sci/, what is the best and current understanding on the down-regulation of dopamine / serotonin receptors? As someone with depression for 5 years now, I've really narrowed it down to having to do with the sensitivity of dopamine receptors. After being flooded and burned for years is it possible they can recover or up-regulate? My grandiose and cortisol thinking from my adolescence has destroyed mine beyond repair. What do we know or understand about this aspect of neurochemistry? And more-so can anything be done about it?
>>16806178I actually tried Adderall, but truthfully at any dose it made me feel worse. The best way I can describe how Adderall made me feel was zombified, I could just sit on the couch and stare blankly at the wall, very emotionally mute. and also easily irritated.
